I have scoured the morning papers, listened to the radio and checked the television news stations, but I am unable to find any coverage of Michael Jackson's memorial service.


As a service to this board, I sat through the entire circus last evening because I am a boring old fart.


A couple of awards:


Best product placement: KFC


Best exploitation of a child: Michael's daughters closing words


Best taste in a performance: The young chap who left the stage to sing to Michael's coffin

It has been a gut wretching week hasn't it? That horrible fire left me feeling empty.


But I am feeling better physically, following a relapse of sorts last week. I am planning to leave the house for social reasons this weekend, which is one's first social excursion in a very long time.

Oh dear woman you may slag me off with wreckless abandon and I shall sit back and admire your determination and sheer grit. You are a EDF star indeed.


Some of the music was indeed divine. The first singer, Mariah, was she still rehearsing the piece? She seemed to be plotting her pitch in some warm-up-using-my-hand-as-notes-on-a-staff way?


I'm not familiar with her.

I couldn't believe last night's TV schedules or the events surrounding Michael Jackson's funeral. A non-stop barrage of mawkish sentimentality for the "People's Paedophile."


It made feel queazy and unclean. I had to switch off and read a book instead. The papers are full of it today too. I'm looking forward to the backlash and the truth. The truth that will out in the end.

If you listened carefully it was a "duet" though it was a bit muffled in parts.



W**F

Agree. The Rev Al Sharpton's evangelical address was straight from the pulpit. Complete tosh. "It was Michael who did it. It was Michael who brought us all together, it was Michael who taught us to love one another. It was Michael who fed the starving millions before Live Aid blah blah bloody blah." Complete bollocks.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
