‘Austerity is the idea that the worldwide financial crash of 2008 was caused by Wolverhampton having too many libraries.’

Ah why not. Sometimes you have to revisit the classics 😂😂.

Unpopular opinion - 19yrs ago @Manics released one of their best albums.
It was big, ambitious… and it sounded glorious.
“Look at me I’m honest and free,
I was born to underachieve.”
#OnThisDay in 2007, Manic Street Preachers released ‘Send Away The Tigers’.
Featuring tracks including ‘Your Love Alone Is Not Enough’, ‘Autumnsong’ and ‘Indian Summer’, the album marked a powerful new chapter for the band and went on to become one of the defining records of that era.
What’s your favourite track?

Angela, you're a govt with a 170-seat majority.
You could have nationalised and price capped utilities, capped rents, increased the NMW to a liveable level.
Instead, you've cut benefits, backed a genocide and smeared anyone who objects as a racist.
That is why Labour is dead.

This is brilliant.

Always a treat to pass Neville Hill Traincare Depot and see the 225’s.
Including 91110 ‘Battle of Britain Memorial Flight’ looking amazing😍.

Moto Guzzi are quietly producing better looking bikes every year.
And big shaft-driven air-cooled V-twins too…

Pixies ripping “Debaser” live at Brixton Academy (1991) — pure alt-rock electricity, the quiet/loud blueprint in full effect, sharp riffs and that unhinged hook.
I miss the old school jets - SuperVC10s, Tridents, 747 jumbos - and their classy liveries.

Hey @BBCNews there are no “alleged links to Israel” … the factory IS an Israeli-owned facility.
Elbit Systems are the primary provider of the Israeli military's land-based equipment and unmanned aerial vehicles. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy8g…
The Alarm : Unsafe Building live.
On this recording the timing feels rushed, guitars a bit chaotic and the production is all over the place…
It is magnificent 🔥🔥🔥.
