A light-hearted look at politics over the pond (but in reality is is not a laughing matter).


Here's a ditty from an earlier time


I believe that life is happy and death is sad

I believe my mum was married to my dad

I believe that things that aren't good tend to be bad


Oh I believe


I'm prepared to believe that Nixon wasn't a crook

I'm prepared to believe Love Story's a readable book

I believe the Dirty Dozen weren't really dirty

I believe that Lucille Ball's still under thirty


Yes I believe Gerald Ford is clever

That Bob Hope will live forever

And that lever is pronounced le-ver

And the best movie ever made was Saturday Night Fe-ver


I'm prepared to say that Colonel Sanders can fry

And that pigs and even DC-10s can fly


I'm prepared to believe that things go better with coke

And the Ayatollah tells a darn good knock-knock joke


I believe that some folk can hear what Bugs Bunny's saying

And that Salt Lake City is a real nice place to stay in


I believe that JR really loves Sue Ellen

I believe that things sound better when you're yelling


I believe that the Devil is waiting to repent

But I can't believe ****** is president


(there's a more recent version for Boris but I'll leave that till later)

Wow there is a whole wiki entry for Regan songs - mainly protest I hasten to add.

Do we have one for Donald and for Hilary?


One good thing has come out of this, a rekindled admiration of Gil Scott Heron.


And here's protest song from Blighty - old school punk

    • I completely agree with you . Its as if they have their foot in the door and are just pushing and pushing. It's ridiculous. It's not the right space. they clearly do not give any regard to the environment or they would move it.  
    • There's a great badminton club at the Harris girls academy. It runs Friday from 5.30 to 6.45. for more experienced players, they have sessions on Wednesday and Friday, too but that's subject to skill levels 
    • There seem to be all sorts of blocks for this event being mounted on the Common, one is that it was 'designed especially' for the current site, though the organisers seem to have had absolutely no problem rejigging their plans to the original site footprint to expand the event to what we had last year- which I think really imposed on a large part of the park and spoilt the feel. I would suggest pressing very hard for relocation to the Common ( also closer to transport links). There must be a way, surely? If not, then wholesale relocation to a more suitable venue. I just do not think the park should be subjected to a festival-goer footfall of 60,000 plus over the summer.
    • I absolutely will. Fed up of property developments that are funded from offshore investors and price out local people. Fed up of the demise of social rents and the growing crisis of families in bed and breakfast. Fed up of young people being unable to save deposits, start families and generally have the same security of tenure that previous generations had. So yes, I will drill down into the financing, affordability, where the properties aer being advertised for sale, and how many are genuinely for social rent. Otherwise, no opposition to redeveloping that site in that way.
