^ never enough Jesus Jones 😉
Nice
cheers mate 😃
Hopefully going to see them soon in concert in Manchester, where they are performing with The Selecter 😃 - http://www.thebeatofficial.com/tour/
Being from the other side of the pond, they’re known to me as the English Beat, due to some silly trademark scuffle.
Love Wha’ppen and Special Beat Service. I Just Can’t Stop It ain’t too shabby either.
Ha 😃 Forgot about the English Beat thing!
Ranking Roger is quality - and back with them touring too 😃

Hold on to your rights, UK.
New international agreements should be introduced to regulate the internet in the light of the London Bridge terror attack, Theresa May has said.
The Prime Minister said introducing new rules for cyberspace would “deprive the extremists of their safe spaces online” and that technology firms were not currently doing enough.
The Prime Minister made the comments outside Downing Street on Sunday morning in the aftermath of the van and knife attack that saw seven people killed and dozens injured.
“We cannot allow this ideology the safe space it needs to breed – yet that is precisely what the internet, and the big companies that provide internet-based services provide,” Ms May said.
Come the early hours of Friday morning what she says, hopefully, won’t matter anymore mate…
(That’s not to say the tech companies can’t do more - indeed they can - but I didn’t any calls on banning books or libraries (though she is doing here best to close down as many as she can. Nor do I see her calling for a ban on selling arms to countries which fund terrorism - though she is suppressing reports that links that very thing)
‘‘Blame the internet’ is just not a good enough response, Theresa May’…

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.”

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/871328428963901440 (‘At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is “no reason to be alarmed!”’)
Actually, the Mayor of London said this…
‘…terrorists are constantly evolving & finding new ways to disrupt, harm us, attack us… the police and experts and all of us, are finding new ways to keep us safe. Londoners will see an increased police presence today and in the course of the next few next days - there is no reason to be alarmed - one of the things the police and all us need to do is make sure we’re safe as we can possibly be.’
the Mayor then goes onto how the terrorists want to disrupt our way of life and interview continues on…
the full 7 minute video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3tqHawmau0 (Mayor’s comments to the interviewer’s questions starts around 2m 37s)
Context is a thing that Trump really doesn’t seem to understand - and not the first time with the Mayor either.

I’m sure he’ll tweet something stupid/offensive any day now . . .
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…
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/871145660036378624
Yes mate, shows him up for what he really is, how he thinks (or not), his lack of compassion, empathy and thoughts for those killed and injured, what he really cares for, and how low he’ll sink to get his way - in placing blame/onus on the courts for ‘give us back our rights’?
And also his limited thinking in that this ‘travel ban’ would actually stop something like that happening anywhere.
‘Donald Trump’s first response to the news of the London attacks was to retweet a conservative news website better known for sensationalism and partisanship than for accurate reporting.’…

Elon Musk and Disney boss quit Trump’s business panel over Paris pullout…
thought this was interesting - have seen a couple of Mayors of US cities say similar things…
https://www.wired.com/2017/05/cities-cant-sign-treaties-can-still-fight-climate-change
Yeah, I read an article somewhere that said the industry is still likely going forward in support of renewable energy/going green because it’s expensive to change from one system to another; there is expectation that future policy will force the regulations anyway; and so to do it now allows for a gradual switch over instead of the enormous expense of meeting a sudden and abrupt deadline.
Absolutely, and this may be of further interest…
‘If Trump actually wanted to renegotiate the Paris agreement, he just shot himself in the foot’:-
when he claimed he could shoot someone and not lose support, i don’t think any of us thought he meant he could shoot himself.
It’d be a worthy feat - given those tiny hands of his.

The US is the lynchpin of the whole Paris climate agreement. Remember how the League Of Nations failed?
GF - hopefully this goes some way to allay some of your concerns on Trump pulling out of the Paris Agreement…
and also in the politics thread on here - and in news elsewhere some city mayors are saying they will honour the Paris agreement, and also some heads of some pretty large companies will too.
Obviously, we’ll have to wait and see to see if that is the case - but all hope is not lost…
(and you all get the chance to vote Trump out in 2020 😉)

All proceeds from the song between 26 May and 8 June 2017 are to be shared between food banks around the UK and the People’s Assembly Against Austerity
Shame on the BBC for refusing to play it - citing ‘impartiality’ during the coming election - though they seemingly forget they have previously refused to play other political songs - even when there has been no elections on.
edit - the song writer was also asked by a BBC Editor to ‘not to go too heavy on the Tories’ just before appearing on a BBC segment about the song not being played - https://twitter.com/AshBeechey/status/870587548904681472
