I've never been sufficiently interested to give him a hearing before. But here he really does not sound like anyone with any serious grasp of economics/finance/etc. He struggles with some basic concepts that would be immediately understood by someone with a fraction of the background he claims. What a strange phenomenon.

Why did they stop making cartoons like this 😭

This short film has won more than 100 awards worldwide.

Thoughts on Banksy’s statue?

Can’t believe YouTube keeps interrupting the ads with flipping films!

@paul_scane @chatswithem No way! An actual Christmas party???

@chatswithem He held a Christmas party during the plandemic after the Conservatives locked down the country. Lol. Puppet politicians don't make any major decisions.

I always thought Jacob would've made a great PM

@ClassicAdvertz I knew the creative director and copywriter on this - both fabulously talented individuals!

Trebor, 1987

@luiscalleo John Martyn.

Name one rock singer whose voice could never be replaced.

NO cheating, post your last saved image without any context 💀💀

@livewithnoregrt No one can save you from your own mental state except yourself.

Hit me with the harshest reality truth.

@wisdomXplorer People aren’t toxic. Belief systems are.

What's the main cause for people to be so toxic?

@wisdomXplorer Meaning behind my consciousness.

What's your reason to believe in God?

@CuriosityonX Listen to John Martyn Solid Air album then let’s talk about the meaning of life.

If you could send a message to an Alien civilization, what would you say?

@NickDixon Also an exceptionally intelligent man - mistrusted the music business - only ever followed his own path - unpredictable- saw him at the Dominion in tcr in the 80s - shambolic at times but stunning - air full of green smoke - incredible memories as a teenager - love him!

Obviously Martyn wrote ‘Solid Air’ about his friend Nick Drake, but it’s interesting to hear Martyn describe Drake in one interview as almost too ambitious, while in another he says Drake essentially felt he was too good for the world. I’d always imagined Drake was too introverted and unable to cope with life, but Martyn suggests life was almost beneath him. And it does make sense because Drake has always felt like an otherworldly genius. Somehow ancient and perfect. If you listen to his mother’s songs, you get more of a sense of why he was so good and where his style came from, but his musical achievements are still stunning. Martyn was a virtuosic talent, but not quite on Drake’s level, because no one was. Except perhaps Brian Wilson, but he’s so different it’s not a good comparison. I wonder if there really is such a thing as being too pure for the world. If there is, then Drake would be a strong candidate for that description.

@NickDixon I’m watching the BBC 4 documentary about him - the disconnect between the exquisite beauty of his songs and his need to create something despite his brittle personality is quite something!

@NickDixon Literally otherworldly - another level 🙏

Is this John Martyn’s greatest live performance? Certainly one of his best songs. Though I also love the entire London Conversation album.

Wow!!!

@readswithravi Metamagical Themas Douglas Hofstadter - an oldie but goodie! Then last week Synchronicity An Acausal Connecting Principle - Jung - trying piece it all together 🙏

What is the most thought-provoking book you've read lately?

@JohnSlinger @bottomley50 Absolute table stakes ffs - concentrate on the issues people are worried about not your pet projects - you deserve the smack in the face in May elections - do your job!

Parliament prorogued. Before the noise moves on, some of what we delivered: Renters' Rights Act, Bus Services Act, water regulation, Tobacco and Vapes Act, railways back in public hands. Laws now, improving lives. We crack on with the next session.

@valleysqueenx It’s people like you that make Reform an inevitability sadly.

Wales does not need Reform.
