I don’t always agree with MP David Lammy but I really got choked up with this speech from the heart, that he gave to Channel-4 News this evening, on the Grenfell fire and cuts to the welfare state…

Channel-4 have done a sterling job covering this tragedy. Another video interviewing rapper Akala who as always, says it like it is…

Real anger today directed at the local Tory council and Tory Prime Minister May, as she has seemingly tried to avoided speaking directly to the distraught residents (Something the leader of the opposition, the Mayor and The Queen have done). Protests outside Downing Street too. I hope the anger doesn’t escalate out of control. I was there on the street when the 2011 London riots started kicking off and it was scary to see.

A random sample of the songs in my itunes library suggests that “Tuesday” is the nightmare we all think it is…

Adam Green - Losing On A Tuesday
Cat Stevens - Tuesday’s Dead
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Tuesday’s Gone

Turns out you’ve got a case of the Trumps too. If Penicillin doesn’t clear it up soon, you have our condolences.

Nah, I’m pretty sure you cure it the same way you cure a Jellyfish sting.

Democracy is a good thing but you can have too much of a good thing…

September 2014 - Scottish independence referendum
May 2015 - United Kingdom general election
May 2015 - United Kingdom local elections
May 2016 - Scottish Parliament election
June 2016 - United Kingdom European Union membership referendum
May 2017 - United Kingdom local elections
June 2017 - United Kingdom general election

Only joking but seriously if there is another Indie-Ref, another Brexit vote and another GE this year, I’ll be like the famous Brenda from Bristol…

It would be really embarrassing if two years ago, a Manchester police officer (who Theresa May gave an award to) had stood up and told her exactly what would happen to counter-terrorism if she drastically cut police numbers…

I wonder what it is about Sadiq Khan that makes Trump want to take his words out of context?

I must say the responses to #thingsthatleavebritainreeling keep the spirits up…

https://twitter.com/hashtag/ThingsThatLeaveBritainReeling?src=hash

Such as…

“A “pie” turning out to be a casserole in a ramekin with a pastry lid.”

“Someone standing ambiguously near the back of a queue, but not quite in it.”

“Knowing you’re walking in the wrong direction & having to tut & check your watch/phone before changing course.”

“People pronouncing it scone, when it is actually pronounced scone.”

Correct. He posted a tweet trying to make the London attack be about him…

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/871143765473406976

…then seven minutes passed, where presumably his staff were shouting things like “what the f**k Mr President!?!” at him and threatening to take his phone away before he tweeted a proper “Oh yeah and I’m sorry and stuff too” style response…

Was watching an episode of The Munsters, and Herman described something as being “wizard”. Is this where George got it from?

the expression is also in the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang song
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang 15 - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Finale)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yyX1bjGamY go to 0:41

It’s much older than that, I think. A “Boy’s own Adventure” term. e.g. “I’ve got a wizard idea to sneak into the tuck shop when matron is in the east wing!” LOL It’s quite different to the modern usage e.g. “She is a wizard on the guitar”, or “She is a guitar wizard”. The old use would be “She is a wizard guitar player”.

JK Rowling was no doubt aware of this, when she named “Wizard Wheezes”, being a play on the multiple meanings of “Wizard” and Harry Potter’s origins in Boy’s Own tropes.

RAF pilots would also use the term in WW2 (possibly WW1 too) e.g. “He’s a wizard pilot, that chap!”

EDIT: It was used in 1954’s ‘Lord of the Flies’. I can confirm that at least.

Is it not just a screengrab from the movie? I’ve got the LP sized 12" release of TFA and it’s got that same image and it looks like a screengrab to me.

EDIT: No it’s not is it. I’ll scan it for you.
