Former English and Drama teacher; Springsteen fan; AFCWimbledon fan; music and theatre fan; not a fan of right-wing, anti-woke types. Steering way through recent widowhood and swearing a lot.
1) We can't keep doing this every two weeks or whenever the Toddler in chief gets upset and throws a tantrum. When will Republicans in Congress wake up and realize this is no way to run a lemonade stand, let alone a country?
Why not spend this Easter weekend perusing heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com "The little shop that's got the lot!"
I'm playing a (rare) solo show at @soundloungecio.bsky.social on Saturday evening. details here: vivenu.com/event/happy-...
I think the PM believes I am too left-wing to be in ‘his’ party since he has branded the Green Party ‘left-wing extremists’! So I won’t embarrass him by renewing my membership, canvassing, leafleting, stuffing envelopes etc. Shameful response to the wake-up call the by-election should have been.
BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors
Tom Pugh and I have had a couple of days down in Lyme Regis! Not beach weather but a relaxing break and a lovely visit to The Lyme Regis Museum where some of Mick’s amazing fossil collection is on display. ❤️

George Martin, 100 years (bit late but couldn't find the file until now, always liked this pic - done for @teatles.bsky.social some years back)
Quite keen to promote the old shop and, by extension, myself at the moment (heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com) as, let's face it, income is welcome and a sense of shame is not going to butter any parsnips. So if anyone wants me to yap on a podcast, include stuff in a glossy colour supplement feature, etc...

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. - George Orwell 1984
Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …
If you want to sustain your carefully-cultivated fury at the stupid Panorama edit then don’t, whatever you do, read or listen to Trump’s speech in its entirety…
One last Sunday evening bump for this, thank you so much to everyone who has already shared/purchased/generally spread the word, it really helps a bunch.

The UK media last week spent so much time banging on about a football match. Will they give the same amount of coverage to this ? I very much doubt it
⏱️21 mins ago "The Israeli Premier League derby between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv was cancelled by police after "violent riots" before kick-off." There are MANY politicians who owe West Midlands police a profound apology. List/tag them. 👇 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...
@barcajim3.bsky.social Well hellooo! Glad I found you on here being nice and not at all a fucking danger about Riot Women!
We can't tax billionaires, because they might take their tax avoidance to another country. But we can drive out brilliant people who do much-needed work, contribute to our society and culture, pay tax, create jobs, and have done nothing wrong. That's fine, apparently.
Just got a haircut, and my lovely barber, a Turkish guy who employs 6 people, and has a wife who's an IVF technician, is shutting up shop and moving to another country because his Indefinite Leave to Remain is under threat by these venal, stupid, posturing politicians, left and right.
NEW! From heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com it's...SADE! Hanging decoration, greetings card... it's an ideal, postable gift!
The lads are all here! I shall have the handsomest Christmas tree in the land thanks to the magnificent work of @heykidsshop.bsky.social Too early to put it up?
It's not all that big, it's only got a few bits of yellow and it's not even remotely a taxi! It's the Joni Mitchell Card / decoration from heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com
