    Stairway To Heaven/ Highway To Hell

    Robert Plant seems to have used lockdown to get his back catalogue in order, and is content for his unreleased music to go public after he dies: https://www.femalefirst.co.uk/music/musicnews/robert-plant-unleash-vault-unreleased-music-dies-1299289.html Don't think anything is imminent, but he's obviously getting organised. Maybe just bored?

    Political Frailty

    Whether Greenway changed is of course another matter. While in Parliament he supported the Thatcher regime, blindly thinking from his comfortable parliamentary seat that Scottish public officials were paid more handsomely than those even in his own borough (North South divide forgotten about!), supported Bill Cash's first attempt in 1996 to force a referendum on the EU, and consistently seemed more concerned about horse welfare and bridlepaths than those of humans (commend or condemn? Ha!). Alternatively, there is no doubt he was a champion for the excellence of children in schools as a former teacher and consistently questioned the support given to the Church Commissioners and the lack of parking in London. He seemed equivocal on whether Portillo would (or should?) get the Kensington nomination after Portillo coughed to his homosexual past (albeit Greenway was no longer an MP then). Yes, I have done a little more reading. But it is what you have the opportunity to do in power and with power that matters, not whether hindsight or changed times when you are out of office relieves you of your recorded position. He's probably forgotten it all or most of it now, by the sounds of it. May he achieve succour from his faith and the God he believes in welcome him home in due course.

    Political Frailty

    Don't know much about him, bribery scandal disappeared. All I know is he is a deeply Christian person who believed in beating children at school by the reintroduction of corporal punishment and seems to have had a fetish for hospital matrons.

    Curse Of The Eurovision

    Bulgaria - equal tenth. Phew! Those who took my advice can collect their winnings from the Bookies. Fairly respectable scores for the ones who got through and I liked. Azerbaijan surprisingly low, however. By no means was the UK entry weakest in the context of the competition. May I suggest that next year, the UK simply send a silent steaming pile of elephant dung under a picture of the then incumbent Prime Minister - which can sit on the stage for 3 whole minutes. Call it fucking art and the UK can proudly wear at least 10 points.

    Curse Of The Eurovision

    Phew. Second semi-final by far the weaker of the two. The results? No complaints. (Well, maybe Greece's entry is just that bit weaker, dare I say putting a teenager in something you'd meet on the Reeperbahn had some influence?)

    British Science Fiction Series

    Bafta nominated and New Zealand born cinematographer John McGlashan died back on 1st April: https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/19313281.obituary-john-mcglashan-cinematographer-distinguished-career-cinema-tv/ Worked on everything from documentary series to Silent Witness and Monarch Of The Glen. He gets a mention here for two reasons: 1. Was a film cameraman on Face of Evil and the sublime Pyramids of Mars for Who. 2. IMDB don't seem to know he's dead. Edit: I see he got an Other Lives Guardian Obit a while back. Must have missed that myself.
