BC Camplight tonight at the Arts Club. It was meant to be in the Theatre but it ended up in the downstairs venue which is bigger and better as it has a raked floor so everyone gets a great view. They’ve also improved the venue by knocking into the old Bar Fly bar so it’s much easier to get a drink and there’s a decent selection. Much better venue now it’s not run by the Academy Group shysters He was really entertaining with decent banter, asks if anyone is here from Warrington, gets no response, then says this songs about Warrington and launches into “I'm in a Weird Place Now” I wasn’t too familiar with the latest material but it was all good and bought the album at the merch desk, which was manned by the band themselves with Brian signing anything in sight. Taking the missus to a gig is a pain in the arse though, she’s just not gig savvy. Oh well more of that next week for Bill Ryder-Jones

Hold on… they shouldn’t be returning it, they should be donating it to some sort of NHS fund. Returning it, just gives the racist £10mil back that he earned on the back of the NHS

There is no such mechanism, the HoC can censure him and take other action but not get rid

Another Russian oil refinery attacked by drones overnight I think

Its also a particularly high in Gaza due to the median age of the population being 18 compared to 28 as a worldwide average (one of the youngest populations on the planet). The casualty rate of children is always going to be high when half the population is a child

It should also be noted in relation to Mr Hester that the meeting where he said this in 2019 was for foreign workers at his business where he made a number of other racist comments alongside the Abbott one. These are only starting to be reported on now. One of his comments was about "Asian Corner" in the office and another suggested that the Indians could get on the roof if there wasn't enough room. I also thing this meeting was arranged, from what I've read, to explain to his non-white work force that he wasn't actually racist Oh his healthcare firm takes money from the NHS and Dept of Health and Social Care... make of that what you will The Abbott stuff is just the tip of the iceberg for this bloke

I think that's technically possible up to today if my maths is right but being as the local elections are May 2nd, I think the deadline for that is around 20th March See though, I'm torn, as much as I want them gone, I want them gone as an electoral force for good so I may be prepared for a few more months of death spiral if I'm completely honest

Ladies Day at Aintree changing too? Maybe they could rename the Aintree one, overdressed pissed scousers who know shite all about horses day

Brexit Benefit! The party of small government didn't think this one through did they! LBC Who would have thought that taking all regulation back in house would have created more civil service jobs. Doh!

Smells sweet to me (as an ex-heavy user - 30 years ago)

Nah if that video is the one that went down it wasn’t an A-50. It’s reckoned that there are only two airworthy A-50s left now and they haven’t flown since the one that was downed the other week. No flying saucer on the top so not one of those, looked like a regular transport IL-76 tbh

Its good in a very mellow way

I didn't realise the eagles were poorly tbh

its all making sense now

should do wonders for everyone's confidence in flying Also the Russian Legion fighting on the side of Ukraine (one of the two anyway) have supposedly taken control of a Russian town near the border, they claim liberated of course.

Very much alive. I think he was awarded another load of compo last year against GMP Other way around though, he was the one who wanted to feel muscles

I think I'll probably be the only person that will get that Things I never expected to see on VT - a Purple Aki joke

We have ourselves a trans rights activist folks

That wouldn't prevent him being elected President apparently

I suspect he means he can actually talk to women at the school gates

Two oil refineries currently ablaze in Russia, supposedly attacked by drones. One in Kstovo and the other in Oryol. The one in Kstovo must be especially worrying for two reasons, firstly its much further away than Moscow from Ukraine and secondly it handled 5% of Russia's refining capacity. Russia had already halted the export of refined product so that Russian petrol stations didn't run dry when there's a fake election in a few weeks
