  • Hard News: The Next Act,

    I have zero thoughts on topic. He was successful in his craft. But to me Paul Holmes was mostly about Paul Holmes. I find folk like this tiring.

  • Hard News: Switched on Gardener: to what…,

    Cannabis prohibition is depressing.As of today Washington Sate USA looks a little more forward and up to date in it's thinking legally in this respect. I talked to a few Crown Prosecutors about the case.To them Switched on Gardner were selling equipment and making tens of thousands in profit. Equipment that the owners knew was to be specifically used for gowing cannabis which in some cases they argue, would then be on sold. To them, this is seen as some kind of rackateering and so deeply unlawful, and further, harmful to society at large.Yep they still really seem to believe this. There is almost maybe a resentment issue there. Therefore, they say, prosecution was both necessary and worth while regardless of the cost. Hard to shake them on that. A real mindset.

  • Hard News: Why did Stephen die?,

    That's very sad. Why do the police do this stuff. They do a lot of good grinding shitty work,and then they embark on this kind of thing. Tragic. Quite correct, the Police do not check bail unless an individual is subject to a curfew. Fks sake.

  • Hard News: The Righteous Humour,

    Nice one Russell. Sometimes Jon Stewart does actually hold back, but you get the feeling he found the feakish right wingnut response to Obama's victory almost disturbing. He's like - I know I should no longer be surprised but really, these folks live in my country ? There seemed quite a distrubing and pretty straight forward racist feel in the air there on Fox .

    Still buying the odd bit a vinyl mee self ---- but gee there is just sooooo
    much pop out there these days. Spotify is helping me sift through some
    of it.

    Sorry, not holding out much hope to be honest.

  • Hard News: Living with the psychopath,

    Wise words Russell. Thanks. Yes the manipulative Mr Laws goes from the actual 'one', to the apparent future 'many', quite conveniently...presumably to rally the troops.
