Chris spent New Year in Halifax. 

 So today I picked him up and we then drove for a Turkish Bath to Harrogate . 

A lovely sunny afternoon. In Harrogate itself, they had a Big Wheel . a Fair & Ice Skating .But, a bit the 'end of the season vibe ' about the place . ( like Blackpool in October) 

Not that many people about..... maybe, the rich entitled posh kids of Harrogate had been all shagged-out from the holidays......?

Well, for no obvious reason, this is Primal Scream . i've seen them live twice ( including last summer at The Piece Hall in Halifax ) I have to say they are the best live rock band I have ever witnessed. I'm never sure if audio alone does them justice, but anyway...my blog, my rules!

Bob Comes From Bacup & a Busker sings "Walk On The Wild Side".

Given that it's , in many ways, "Tofu-Central" , Hebden Bridge still has two very busy Butchers Shops.

DISPATCHES FROM THE REEL WAR

 

Zelensky wartime Vogue photoshoot, because this is the "new normal" now. 

 I wonder how the soldiers on the front line and the families who have recently lost people on the front lines feel about them having time to promote themselves in Vogue! 

How much money did they pocket ?

Let's play a fun game:

Quiz -

 (1) This happy couple have just won a $180 Million lottery jackpot. 

(2) They've just returned from honeymoon. 

(3) 200,000 of their countrymen have just died and 1000 more dying daily

Watch Interview With Sam Tarry This Morning

Ben Kentish: 'Do you think Keir Starmer has got a worse relationship with the trade unions than Tony Blair did?' 

 Labour MP Sam Tarry: 'I think far worse. Far worse.'

Much talk over the past 24 hours about a" General Strike". ( Most notably from  Mick Lynch ) 

But people have muttered such stuff for several years , yet  it  comes to nowt. I will believe it when I see it .

But I hope it happens! Bring It On!

 

It's illegal to sack a trade unionist for attending a picket line. Unfortunately, Labour politicians don't get the same degree of protection.
