#bbcbreakfast Piers Morgan taking the morning team hostage with his straight talking ‘views’ Apparently we’d all prefer more Trumpism in our politics. Which presumably means economic suicide and state control of the press/media Surprisingly this polls very badly in the UK.

It could be argued there’s no “real” Let It Be, as even Spector’s 1970 album is just a mix with overdubs. It’s not like he sat in the studio with The Beatles and produced it. So, as much as Let It Be…Naked is an alternative mix, it’s also a balancing of the scales, a version of

What a surprise. Birmingham 'Raise the Flags' founder was at Solihull asylum hotels protest These grifters are far-right street thugs with a history of scams & shouting at hotels. Brum needs to give them short shrift. Their xenophobia isn't welcome here. https://t.co/LsWZc4GIM3
