Let's not forget the classic "Willesee versus Skyhooks" interview (which is the Australian equivalent of "Grundy versus Sex Pistols"): Part 1 (introduction and song): Part 2 (the interview - even today it is painful to watch the two most famous people in the country at the time go head to head ):

Good riddance to the warmongering scum.

Vera Lynn's health seems to be tied to Britain's political fortunes. Flourishes on the back of the Second World War, goes on for ages afterwards, albeit slowly declining, and now might be doomed, might not.

"I used to go to New York University a long time ago, which is in Greenwich Village, that's where I started, and I was, ah, in love in my freshman year, but I did not marry the first girl that I fell in love with, because there was a tremendous religious conflict, at the time. She was an atheist, and I was an agnostic, y'know. We didn't know which religion not to bring the children up in. And I bummed around for a long time, and I met my wife, and we got married against my parents' wishes, we were married in Long Island, in New York, we were married by a reformed rabbi in Long Island... a very reformed rabbi... a Nazi." - Woody Allen

Virgin Galactic hopes to launch tourist flights by the end of this year. "[There has been] criticism from the likes of Australian astronaut Andy Thomas, who said the program is dangerous, dead-end, glorified aeroplane travel. One Time magazine editor called Virgin Galactic "amateur hour" and Mr Branson "a man driven by too much hubris, too much hucksterism and too little knowledge of the head-crackingly complex business of engineering". Another writer said the company was without a real business plan beyond "the vague talk of space tourism, and the spacecraft it built was hardly able to accomplish even that"." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-02-25/virgin-galactic-hopes-to-launch-tourist-space-flights-in-2019/10829902

Queen to be evacuated in the case of Brexit unrest: "LONDON (Reuters) - British officials have revived Cold War emergency plans to relocate the royal family should there be riots in London if Britain suffers a disruptive departure from the European Union next month, two Sunday newspapers reported. “These emergency evacuation plans have been in existence since the Cold War, but have now been repurposed in the event of civil disorder following a no-deal Brexit,” the Sunday Times said, quoting an unnamed source from the government’s Cabinet Office, which handles sensitive administrative issues. The Mail on Sunday also said it had learnt of plans to move the royal family, including The Queen, to safe locations away from London." https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-eu-royals/the-queen-to-be-evacuated-in-case-of-brexit-unrest-media-idUSKCN1PS005

It is that time of year again... "'Doomsday Clock' remains at 2 minutes to midnight The threat of global catastrophe remains at its highest level since the Cold War, according to the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists. The group has warned of a "new abnormal" in regards to world security. The group of scientists, which includes 15 Nobel Prize laureates, cites global warming, the threat of nuclear war and the manipulation of facts as factors that have brought the planet "the closest it has ever been to apocalypse." "Though unchanged from 2018, this setting should be taken not as a sign of stability but as a stark warning to leaders and citizens around the world," the group said. "Humanity now faces two simultaneous existential threats, either of which would be cause for extreme concern and immediate attention. These major threats — nuclear weapons and climate change — were exacerbated this past year by the increased use of information warfare to undermine democracy around the world, amplifying risk from these and other threats and putting the future of civilization in extraordinary danger. [snip] In regards to the threat of nuclear war, the group described the world security situation as a "new abnormal," which Rachel Bronson, president and CEO of the bulletin, described as "a state that features an unpredictable and shifting landscape of simmering disputes that multiply the chances for a major conflict to erupt." "The new normal risks emboldening autocrats and lulling citizens around the world into a dangerous sense of anomie and political paralysis," Bronson said in a statement accompanying the report."

Also, the people he collided with are saying he has not bothered to apologise or ask about their well-being. They are also disputing his version of events claiming it was cloudy so the sun could not have dazzled his eyes as he claimed. The replacement Range Rover that he is driving sans seatbelt is worth the equivalent of $120 000 dollars in Aussie terms or around £60 000 pounds pre-Brexit and £2 000 000 000 000 pounds post-Brexit.

Wow. It is all over the news down here. Serious question: A Pommy bloke (middle-class North Londoner, anti-Brexit) who is out in Aus at the moment, was talking seriously about civil war. Is the mood on the street really that ugly or was he just being hysterical? I suspect the latter...
