Is that Reading too? Might get the wife down for that, she’s Handsworth born and bred, loves the Pulse.




Apparently she requires them to play Handsworth Revolution in its entirety.

That’s at Kentish Town forum mate….one of the bands I loved in my youth but never saw live.
Haven’t got tickets yet as looking for someone to come with me. Got a few maybes but waiting for someone to confirm

Got Alabama 3 tickets for 18 March at the Brum O2, and am looking at the same venue for Steel Pulse, 14th May. Got to see the Pulse in their home town, and this venue avoids hotel stays…..at last the world is opening up again.

This is a good use for this thread.

US order all families members of embassy staff to leave Ukraine….another step closer.

in other news, shock/horror……the Conservatives are anti-Muslim

But Corbyn.


My main hope for Eastern Europe is that everyone accepts that we absolutely must refer to it as THE Ukraine. Certain countries it just works for. The Congo, for example.
 
Johnson tells us that war would be disastrous for Russia, but it’s not inevitable.

That’s reassuring, coming from him.

Everyone seems to be talking up the chances of conflict followed by sanctions from the west, followed by Russia upping the price of oil and gas, or reducing/cutting supply (which presumably it can’t afford to do for long) which immediately hits a lot of European countries, but eventually hits everyone as competition for gas, especially LPG, intensifies. On top of all the other gas price rises of course this hits the poorest hardest.

Perhaps the doom mongering is just a way to big themselves up when rabbit out of a hat agreements are reached. Russia’s starting position is pretty stark - (The) Ukraine never to join NATO, NATO troops out of Eastern European countries (Baltics, Poland…..) complete removal of nuclear weapons from Europe (ie France and U.K. disarm). This sounds so old fashioned, kind of 1930s.

The world and his wife seem to be commenting for the west, Johnson, some German admiral, Biden/Blinken, not at all clear where leadership lies, what the shared line is, and how far they will really go. Western alliance could be in the worst shape of my lifetime…..

Meanwhile Xi rubs his hands in glee.
