About time.

When I was at school we had one logo patch that got transferred to new blazers as we outgrew them and two ties - one for the first 4 years and another one just for year 11. That worked out at about £5/year, for 'branded' items. And there was even a monopoly on these patches and ties, which was the haberdashery on the high street.

[...] more than a quarter (29%) said they had forgone food or heating to pay for uniforms.

'The Spirit Level: Why Equality is Better for Everyone' shows that in unequal societies people will priorities things which communicate social status over basic needs.

Crazy. DDoS attacks are illegal here in the UK.

I wonder how many people travelled end-to-end between the two. It would have been an incredible journey back then.

Man it's not even just housing - pretty much everything that's already teetering on the edge like water, transport, NHS, the National Grid, agriculture etc. is going to get clobbered. Bad timing for the UK.

I agree. I think the government will pay out though, because they are so wedded to the idea of private investment and want to get patted on the head by the City.

The one thing that would turn around Labour's abysmal polling is to grow a pair and stop bending over for capital and tyrants. They won't do it though. Sad times for the nation.

Listen/watch some early Doug Stanhope :)

"Why wait until you leave office to openly work for us? Now you can do it straight away!"

I think everyone should have access to their own garden or allotment. Allotments have an added social side which is great.

This has made Rupert Lowe look very silly.

Thanks :) I'm happy to chat to any musicians who read this and are curious about alternative release options.

These exploitation economies are a race to the bottom.

That's exactly what they are and exactly what they do.

I don't have any app suggestions for you but have been reading through the comments and just wanted to say that I'm 100% with you.

I have a similar conversation with other musicians I know and it's the reason that I (and many others) won't release anything on Spotify: Just being there adds value to them and what they do is destructive and dirty.

I hope you find something and keep standing up for what's right!
