All credit to Michael Franti and Spearhead.

Why arrest him?

Sadiq Khan, as you all remember was elected as London mayor.

Recent news is that Donald Trump has tried to arrest Sadiq.

The news can be wrong, it may be overblown, libellous any number of things.

Though as he is a Muslim mayor and Trump has heavily questioned the man largely based around his faith alone and not his ability to run London.

I am led to ask, why on earth is a foreign leader seeking to arrest a legally elected man with a mandate to govern the whole of London.

It was not a rigged election, he did win the majority and what is more he stood alongside the many Londoners who stood in silent vigil after terrorist attacks.

I do seem to remember Donald Trump saying he didn’t like terrorism at one point and Sadiq has shown clearly that he doesn’t like terrorism.

Prince Harry

Prince Harry is, well, a Prince.

He is not an MP, or a Queen, or a Civil Servant or well, anything other than a Prince.

He is a Prince who was foolish enough to don a Nazi uniform for a party.

We all remember that don’t we, him wearing that uniform.

We haven’t forgotten have we, what he wore...

How did we feel about it?

The outfit choice of his...

His brother didn’t wear it at any point did he...

There was a distinct absence of his elder brother wearing it.

Interestingly though there seems to be another Royal wedding on the cards.

Funny thing about Royal weddings, in a weird way everyone gets invited whether they want to go or not.

Also interestingly, it appears and is reported that Donald Trump is very much not invited.

I’m not sure if a Royal realises how a Royal wedding looks to all of us.

Only this time Prince Harry wedding, as I shall dub this one is not inviting Donald Trump.

Whatever is that about do you think?

Zeitgeist

Nicky Wire has a song on his solo album called I killed the Zeitgeist.

Very strange piece of music to write when you have been and probably still are the Zeitgeist.

He seems cleverer than that really, wondering if he’s taking the piss.

His rather strange Wikipedia implies he is an ageing outsider, utterly failing to mention he’s a huge rock star in one of the most iconic bands of the last decade or so.

The album’s old, but worth a listen.

I killed the Zeitgeist is definitely not the best track on it.

Women and love songs

Do you remember me mentioning Sonique?

I thought I’d remind you of this one.

Suzi Quatro!


Do you remember this one rock and rolling and talking about love in a husky voice?

In leather?

Remember?

She wouldn’t have let anyone get away with pushing her around.

Why has everyone got so sexist?
