"Not very radical of you, David."
I know. Citizen Smith always despised me for it.
Got an email only last week. "What's all the links to the Guardian in your posts? Become a prawn and rocket munching, Hampstead loving, Tony Blair arse licking, centrist Johnson" Up the Revolution, your ex-Comrade Smithie".
No I said I've become a "reduced price sandwich buyer from M&S, Blackpool loving, Miliband supporting, but not entirely convinced, Johnson.
No reply since.

Ya dead right, Liz. It's tough which is why I try to read it first thing while the donkeys are being mucked out. THen it is on the beach if it's sunny or selling pies and pasties (great news from the government eh?) on the Prom, prom, prom, tiddly om pom pom, if it's raining.
I did put some business suggestions to Jim Slip re. the donkeys, which probably explains why he has been so shirty with me of late!!

I hope those donkeys get minimum wage, plenty of tea breaks and health insurance. Especially as they have to work bank holidays.

Correct.
We don't have any truck with all that Beecroft hedge fund owner, Tory sponsor so write your own legislation bollocks up here in Blackpool.
And in case you are wondering, the donkeys and I have been listening to our Neil Young favourite tracks:
1. Like a Hurricane. The version on Neil Young Unplugged where he plays pump organ and harmonica.
2. Old man on the Harvest album "Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were" The donkeys particularly like the additional vocals provided by Linda Rondstadt and James Taylor.
3. Rockin in the Free World from the Freedom album. We all join in on the chorus
Thats one more kid
That will never go to school
Never get to fall in love
Never get to be cool
Great stuff!

Ordered both 'After the Gold Rush' and 'Harvest' albums. Also ordered D?j? vu album by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young after hearing about it and listening to a few songs on youtube.
Youtube has been the inspiration for so many of my album purchases over the last 5 years. And to think some artists didn't want their stuff on there. They now realise it's free advertising!

Only of the headlines whilst I'm in the newsagents buying a proper paper.
