This isn't going down well either. “I have an ambivalent relationship with like the Union Jack and what that represents to people because it can feel divisive, it can feel nationalist.” Of course it's nationalist, it's a fucking national flag! Isn't representing your country nationalist? What a hypocrite.

No, but it's better than everything else I've listened to so far.

I haven't listened to them all but haven't found anything so far that appeals to me, so best give Lady Gaga the points for Telephone.

There's several very active campaigns for tactical voting. This election served as a dry run

To be honest, I'd rather go for a drink with Laurence than with Shouty Shola.

Sun 5 May 58 Sophie Ellis-Bextor — Murder On The Dancefloor +4 34 Mark Ronson ft. Amy Winehouse — Valerie 28 Kylie Minogue — Love At First Sight -6 Loved Amy but I didn't care for that song.

I'm here for it.

I've had the impression that everybody hated Sadiq Khan because of Ulez and all that, but it seems they hate the Tories more.

Ah yes, the racist King.

Well, we don't want a landslide for anyone, do we, if we want electoral reform.

This.

Criminal that the GE wasn't held today. More of our money wasted.

It amazes me that so many people say "two thousand and" instead of "twenty". You'd think they'd have moved on, at least by the second decade.

Boris's polling station https://maps.app.goo.gl/Bfkw3fjTcMoxz7QHA He had the same choice of candidates as me.

Young Odda is a monk in Shardlake which has just arrived on Disney+, just a few days after the death of CJ Sansom, the author of the Shardlake books.

We've only got to vote for the police commissioner, so I doubt many will bother, but I shall pop in and do my bit towards voting out a Tory.
