every time someone expresses interest in Chumbawamba we gotta point out that Boff Whalley still does music with Commoners Choir. Such a cool project, it's continuing on Chumbawamba's track record of folk music with some bite to it.
It's not that well known ... yet.

We're doing well at that.

Under First Past the Post, an extreme, even anti-democratic party can take full power on a fraction of the vote - without the consent of the majority.

In these troubled times, we shouldn't take our rights and freedoms for granted.

That's another reason why we need Proportional Representation.

Hello America & Canada, it’s publication day for This Slavery!

It’s the story of two sisters living in 1910s UK who work in cotton weaving factories. It’s about women’s place in industrial capitalism, and how marriage can be about power & control.

It’s also an inch-thick comic with a dog in it

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.
Thanks.
We're learning a song in Catalan and one in Spanish atm. Phonetically for some :)
