Should Labour gain office, Tory Brexit stock may continue to fall?

How we signed contracts with Huawei for our national infrastructure, AFTER the Australians found them to be spying?

How did we get a faulty Chinese nuclear power station?

Russia all over Tories and Brexit ringleaders.

MI6's angry response to Tory peer Lebedev in the Lords.

The Brexit PM slipping his own security to attend a party at KGB Towers.

How a Russian company obtained the contract for the Downing St media suite?

... Why isn't Labour's message winning against this?

The shit sandwiches just keep coming for the (wo)man on the street. So it might be starting to sink in now?

Up to this point, dismal critical thinking and woeful prescience in the electorate.

GDP is a shit method of rating the success of a country.

Are we happier?

i wonder whether brexit has impacted things in terms of costs of playing here (venues, promotors, bus hire etc). i'm seeing bands who have a big UK followings do full european tours and not include any UK dates pretty frequently now. there must be a reason gig prices are materially more expensive here.

The bands being discussed here are in a position to afford the extra paperwork and expense of touring on a carnet. They can also better absorb losing a day's rig to customs officials actually checking that carnet. 

Stepping down from these stadium acts things change.

Second Green on that.

Somewhere around Shepton, maybe? Which is where the Glastonbury site actually is.

Thought it might be Moggville for a minute, but I think he's a little further North?

Yandex-Mogg losing to a Green would be too good to be true.

If I saw that in a Charity shop, I'd buy it for the cover alone  

It is a title that sells when the media isn't great but the cover's ok, for sure  

Normally I gravitate towards the groovy or lysergic 60s/70s gear in this category, but Les is just quality. 

You're not skipping tracks on 'Tamboo!', the Theremin showcase 'Music Out Of the Moon' from 1947 is ok, and 1969's 'African Blue' got the plain green jacket of quality when it became KPM1070 in the 1000 series in the UK.

He's one of my favourite artists for sure, wish I'd bought some of it when it was cheaper.

It's Light Orchestral music with a Space Age theme. It was a thing.

Probably.

There's an Orchard one which may be licensed but sounds dull? The Spotify one is a little better.
