There is an album with a pile of cover versions they did. Really good.
Happy Hours was a good read Mike. Brought up a few memories of places I have frequented. I am currently sat in the Flying Horse Rochdale with a pint of this - lovely pint. One of 10 cask and 20 keg available in this Camra special house!
John Bright - one of Rochdale’s most famous/infamous. His statue here - pretty much overlooking the Flying Horse pub!
Via a message on X - really? The only thing he should have posted today on there is: I condemn the racist violence that was prompted by the hateful Musk on his dreadful social media platform. I have instructed all labour party MPs and all government departments to stop using X immediately.

Shame on those in America and around the world who are enabling this complete madman

Swap you for one of mine! Block block block of course but it is tiresome to have to.
Maybe this one. “Britain Predicts” 🤷 I mean I don’t like electoral misinformation but if you think it is limited to or worse in some parties than others the that is just your confirmation bias at work
Seems pretty obvious that this treasonous tosser is stirring up the flip-flopping Trump response to the UK official Chagos position.
Wonder if this is true in the UK? Anyone know here I might find out? Had a sniff round the usual economic stats site but cannot find what I need.
