Well the 1968 festivities are in full swing and I’m greatly looking forward to the all dayer at Conway Hall tommorow ( 1pm in the Betrand Russel Room since you ask!) hoping to meet many unrecognisable old comrades! I went to see the World in Action film of the Grosvenor Square riot at the Curzon cinema on Tuesday night. Only five people there. I asked the directo Dai Vaughan if the police had requested film footage of the riot to identify people and arrest them . No - no requests at all he said. In them days if you weren’t nicked on the day you were away with it. No Fitwatch, no CCTV, No ‘Operation Carnaby’ - a golden age comrades! And the demonstrators wore ties.

It really is shit that QUEEN are headlining NELSON MANDELAS 90TH Birthday Bash in Hyde Park. Queen broke the United Nations boycott on artists performing in South Africa under apartheid and for shedloads of money played SUN CITY - now they’ll be pictured smiling next to Mandela.
SUN CITY
STEVE VAN ZANDT of the E STREET BAND wrote his song ‘I AINT GONNA PLAY IN SUN CITY’ specifically mentioning Queen and others who played there. Scumbags. What fucking idiot invited them.
LITTLE STEVEN DIDNT PLAY FUCKIN SUN CITY
Shakin Stevens would have been a better bet…at least he was a communist party supporter like Mandela!

There used to be a long slogan on the train line outside Surbiton station reading ‘HEAR CANON COLLINS JUNE 15TH HYDE PARK’ but however hard I stared tonight there was just no trace of it. Originated round about 1962 I think. Anyone seen older graffiti left up. I remember seeing a couple of ‘HANDS OFF CUBA’ somewhere originating from about the same time. If anyone spots a ‘What about the ground nut scheme’ anywhere - theres a fiver in it! And any claims about ‘Mafeking night’ or ‘The relief of Ladysmith’ will not be believed. Are there any ‘George Davies is Inocent’ anywhere?

It was like a donkey sanctuary,” said the Telegraph nark infiltrated into Boris Johnson’s victory party in the Millbank Tower. “Lots of very drunk public schoolboys alternately booing and cheering at BBC News 24 as first Boris then Ken came on. You know, like very, very drunk.”
There was caviar, too, and the odd oyster, as the Conservative Party celebrated its capture of City Hall and the end, or at least the beginning of the end, of its wilderness years. It was if the half-forgotten era of the Sloane Ranger and soft-top Golf GTi had briefly returned. Like the man himself, the friends of Boris were posdh and proud of it………..theres lots more about the resurgent posh at:

There is something about GORDO BROWN’S jowly thin lipped speech that reminds you of a ventriloquist’s dummy - but alas it is not to be! MADAM TUSSAUDS have decide he’s not going to be arund for long enough to mak it worthwhile to cast him in wax. Would anyone spot the difference?
Gordo cant connect with the voters - he cant ‘feel their pain’ . The real Labour disconnect problem is that they’ve parachuted into safe Labour seats a whole generation of Oxbridge clones like the Milibands,Coopers,Balls who have no working class roots or anyway of relating to the working class people in their constituencies. Can there be any more telling case thn ED BALLS - PRIVATELY EDUCATED, keble college oxford to read PPE LIKE 6 others in the cabinet - and representing the rock solid Labour seat of NORMANTON in Yorkshire where he had no comnnections at all! The nearest person he can talk to is wife YVETTE COOPER parachuted into neighbouring PONTEFRACT and CASTLEFORD from Oxbridge.
Blair used to embarassedly raise a dimpled beer glass to his lips in Trimdon Working Mans Club once a year - the Coopers and Balls dont even bother.

‘STOP PINCHING MY SEAT - I AINT DEAD YET’
TAMSIN DUNWOODY is set to stand for her mum’s seat in the forthcoming Crewe and Nantwich by-election. A pig farmer from Haverfordwest may not have seemed the obvious choice to fight Crewe - but hey - nepotism rules in the Labour party these days. Tamsin is GWYNETH DUNWOODY’ daughter and dad was a Labour MP and great grandad was MORGAN PHILLIPS GENERAL SECRETARY OF THE LABOUR PARTY……………..but be fair she’s not even related to TONY BENN or HERBERY MORRISON or RALPH MILIBAND. The Tory candidate is a millionaire barrister - heir to the TIMPSON SHOE EMPIRE - who doesn’t live in Crewe…….NEPOTISM v WEALTH - the choice in Britain today.
I still have my GWYNETH DUNWOODY HORROR FACE MASK given awayfree with Private Eye!!

GERMANY GIVES SPAIN —-TEN POINTS - CONGRATULATIONS!
STRAIGHT UP! CLIFF RICHARD was robbed of victory with ‘CONGRATULATIONS’ in the 1968 Eurovision Song Contet by vote rigging by General Franco’s fascists! SPANISH FILM MAKER montse fernandez villa broke the story on Spanish tv on Sunday night…..saying Franco had wanted to boost Spain’s international image by winning the contest. Cliff lost thE contest by one point after a strong last minute surge by the Spanish entry. Spanish tv executives had travelled round Europe promising to buy tv series in return for votes.

Boris’s mistress PETY WYATT - pictured in white - is now performing as a duo called KISS AND TELL at elite Mayfair clubs for the worthless dross prepared to tolerate a couple of right wing harridans who can hire clubs like THE VOLSTEAD to show off their karoake skills. Keep to HUSBAND STEALING PETY - YOU’RE BETTER AT IT. Love from Marina - FIRST LADY OF LONDON - by the way.

In as shameless an act of nepotism as you could see among our rulers STANLEY JOHNSON - Boris’ dad - has said he intends to become MP for Henley. Boris delay in resigning the seat - ‘to allow proper consideration of a new candidate’ can be seen as a ploy to alow his father to build up local support….the hereditary principle of taking over Rotten Boroughs has come back with a vengeance……..to replace Gwyneth Dunwoody in the forthcoming Crew by-election Labour has chosen……..her daughter!
