Another WONDERFUL podcast, Abs. God bless Sarah and Tom and the horrendous situation they are currently faced with. 🙏 I couldn't agree more with both Scott's and Des' beautifully expressed views about social media and how it affects us. I think it's a curse and a plague on all our houses. (Yeah, i'm still addicted to Telegram, Twitter and Instagram, but there you go). I long for the days when it was just about dancing kittens and singing dogs. Lol. Xxx

Imo anyone in the public eye who had their photo taken getting the jab was pushing it. Nigel did and he also endorsed Tony B Liar as leader of the UK vaccination programme.

Hi Jules,

I get it - I really do. I am glad to have not had the injection but virtually everyone I know did. I went walking (when allowed) with a lady whose highly religious friends told her I was stupid and dangerous. In other words - to walk on the other side of the road, or she'd get covid from me. She collapsed after her first jab and later got the covid elsewhere. On balance, I believe there was a virus released from Wuhan. My friend's son is an anesthetist who said he saw, first hand, the difference between covid and flu.

I watched a lot of TalkTV & GB News and often emailed in when the likes of Fatty Gaunt and the skinny Labour list bloke were just plain nasty. Farage has expressed regrets about getting the jabs, unlike many others. I don't think of him as a class A cunt but if he endorsed Satanic Blair and rolled his sleeve up for pharma, he's a B+.

Yeah but it was good ending nonetheless 😀

Lovely pod Abi. I did mention a couple of weeks ago I would enquire about a group booking for Da Concert but don’t think my credit card will hold out and some of us aren’t in the position to fork out at the moment. Maybe those who fancy it can get in touch and we could organise a few of us to get 2 or 3 tickets each, that way no one will be sitting alone? .....i’m happy to be squared up at a later date but can’t be putting a large amount on my credit card atm. Let me know what you think Substackers. Xx

You're spot on about Chelsea.I remember going to the Dome on the Kings Road in 1988 when I was 19.It was really hip and I wore a lovely old velvet dress I had found on Portobello market. A lot of the lads looked very stylish like Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot from Curiosity Killed the Cat band😃It was all the fashion crowd down there 😎

Oh Abi, you might as well have said Farage is racist and that's the reason there is trouble in Ireland. The same old Trump card that is played by people who believe in unfettered immigration; de rigueur with the Chelsea 'Oh I think I'll hug a tree or turn to the Lord' this week and everything will be fine set. Saucer of milk for Brian.

Farage is ambitious and had two jabs, I believe, although I don't remember him pushing them, or lockdowns. Fears Morgan, Esther Rancid and Harder, Faster Starmer are far bigger targets; not forgetting all the leftie political commentators that were shoved in our faces, day after day.

I spent a day canvassing for Reform, before I reformed, and many people said they'd vote for Farage but didn't give a monkeys about Reform. I don't watch live tele (didn't renew the licence) but guessed he would guage the public reaction, to his performance, and then decide whether to tread the frauds again. Many people I know believe religion is the cause of most conflicts. My view is that it's a potential source of tribal division, as is ethnicity, jabbed or unjabbed - the list goes on. I wish we were all one big melting pot and not a boiling cauldron about to overflow and hurt lots of people. Double Dutch - maybe.
