Dick Gaughan - Outlaws and Dreamers

And the fierce flame of freedom that burns in our hearts...
The fire is still burning the future's still calling
To follow the dream till the end of my days
Wishing's for fools but dreams are for outlaws
Laughter's for lovers and tears for the brave

The political spectrum in the UK has been driven so far to the right that the Labour Party of today is far to the right of the Tory party before Thatcher came along with her radical agenda of privatisation, financial sector deregulation, and deliberate deindustrialisation.

If you want to know what Reform will be like in government, look at the councils we control. At Worcestershire County Council, for example, we want to increase council tax by 10% and are begging the government for a £71m bail out, otherwise we face effective bankruptcy.

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.
Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’
I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

First, and only, time I saw Green Day was at the Wee Red Bar at Edinburgh's College of Art back in... 1990ish. There were around 50 people there. The blue-haired, snotty skate-punks weren't political enough for me back then.
Guess, we all grown up. American Idiot is one fine album.

Thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, Amazon saw its corporate income taxes shrink by more than HALF last year, even as its profits climbed.
But instead of investing the savings into their workforce, Amazon just announced thousands of layoffs and plans to spend $200B on AI.
