I reckon they would have all voted Remain, eh Foxy?


(PS and yes, I do remember Guthrie and Pete Seeger, though mainly because my oldest sister loved them.)

The Good Friday Agreement was mainly achieved by a very ethical & brave move by John Major in association with the late Albert Reynolds - Bliar & Bertie Ahern did good work following through & they tried to take all the credit. It was Albert Reynolds that was the main catalyst & he convinced Bill Clinton to get involved.

    • Our latest guest says that politicisation of universities is unhealthy, and the equation "Empire = Evil" is not historically tenable. He was used to speaking openly. Then in 2017 a Cambridge academic posted on social media in response to Biggar's proposed project looking at the Good and the Bad in Empire: "OMG this is serious shit. We Must CLOSE THIS DOWN." In his words, he saw there was a problem. Problems remain with embedded intolerance but this new member of the House of Lords still aspires to determine the truth of things. Meet Lord Biggar of Castle Douglas CBE, Regius Professor Emeritus of Moral & Pastoral Theology at Oxford University, on his visit to Peckham to talk with Chris Haydon and a small invited audience.  
    • What has any of this got to do with Gala?
    • I suspect Lambeth's legal team have decided that it is far better to potentially upset a High Court judge (maybe beg for forgiveness) than face the wrath of the legal teams of event organisers, promoters, service providers who would come after them for a lot of money if the event had to be cancelled. Clearly the original error was on the part of the council so I suspect that would make them liable for any losses/reputation damage incurred due cancellation/disruption.
    • I suspect it was putting "not bankrupting Lambeth Council" considerations first. Cancelling those festivals at a week to go could have been financially catastrophic and may have unleashed financial hell on Lambeth.
