The BBC news at the moment has been depressing us all in its usual fashion......all negative stuff.....one minute it's discarded plastic bottles which are to blame.........The BBC get slated constantly but fail to get the message.....AND WE PAY FOR IT!! Whereas I appreciate when we get a bit of sunshine in this country people want to get out and enjoy it...what has always puzzled me is why do they ALL do it at the same time?.....I went out to Wales over Easter as the forecast promised us plenty of sunshine....the Friday was Bank holiday so I went late Thursday....and had a clear run to Anglesey.... On the entertainment front we are subjected once again to "Britain's Got Talent" which is as bad as it gets....if Britain has talent why don't they put it on this dreadful show instead of letting a bunch of no-hopers make fools of themselves in front of a panel of know-nothing judges with Simon Cowell deciding whether HE thinks they should get the holy thumbs up...... When I started my record company in 1980 I decided to create a demo service to pay for the gear...the idea was for people who were not necessarily musicians to send me their ideas of songs and I would record them and put them together in a presentable state for them to send out to publishers etc.......I often wonder what happened to all those hopefuls. My song How To Say Llanfair P.G. has reached 2 million hits on YouTube.....the idea came to me back in the 80s over a cup of coffee at my mates house...Paul Damian.......I certainly didn't expect the response......had I not popped in for a coffee with my mate this would never have existed.......and here it is.

The Swedish schoolgirl behind the children's climate strike has met politicians including Jeremy Corbyn during a visit to Parliament. Greta Thunberg is the 16-year-old whose refusal to go to school because of climate change led to children around the world skipping classes to protest.

Paris had to watch in horror as fire erupted from the magnificent Notre Dame Cathedral on Monday evening....................It was here that a Mass was held after the liberation of Paris, on August 26, 1944, in what may be the single most important moment in French contemporary history. Naturally, the cathedral is a Unesco World Heritage Site. Paris itself was born on an island whose center is occupied by Notre- Dame, and it grew out from there.

In a promise that has delighted left-wing teachers' unions, the Labour leader insisted if elected he would scrap the 'regime of extreme pressure testing'.

We nearly had another moon landing....but not quite....the space ship got all the way but crash landed...close but no cigar....and we have been told the mission was a lot cheaper than previous attempts...this one was done "on a shoestring" and only cost 77 million pounds....which is some shoestring....I have always wondered what the point of space travel is....there is nothing there ....perhaps we should sort out things on THIS planet first.....or get a loan from the Amazon guy's missus with her 27 billion divorce settlement. 2.And speaking of major spending the Houses of Parliament needs refurbishing....this will cost 4 BILLION....it would be cheaper to send the building into space (and a better idea)...4 billion? I would like to see the breakdown of that amount .....apparently there are hundreds of rooms and offices etc....and I wonder why....they can't even run the country from ONE room.....but there could be some light at the end of the tunnel...Nigel Farage is forming a new party...The Brexit Party.....and I,for one,will be voting for him as he HAS to be an improvement on the shower we have at the moment.....perhaps the MPs could make a donation towards the refurbishment out of their expenses.....some hope!! 3.As we know...comedy has lost it's way - and this according to one of our comedians is because of a certain section of the community regarding some jokes as being racist or sexist when in fact they are just jokes.....if you can only crack gags about white hetro sexual males there's not a lot of hope......again it's a case of pandering to the minority who have had a sense of humour by-pass....people's idea of humour naturally differs especially between men and women....but what always puzzles me is how stadium audiences can be helpless with laughter at some of the modern comedians and comediennes with their "observational" comedy which isn't slightly funny.....when you are a certain age and remember when comedy was actually funny it is hard to take these days. 4.Our local newspaper has published some of the salaries of council officials which has raised a few eyebrows....some around the 2 hundred grand a year mark.....I don't mind anyone making money but I do object to MY rates helping to feather their nests...especially when I keep going down potholes in the road because the council hasn't got the money to repair them....or so we are told....I often wonder what these "top" officials actually DO....they are obviously "responsible" for a lot of things but what do they DO?....if they weren't there would it make any difference?.....the Chief Constable for example has responsibilities but he isn't out on the streets dealing with neanderthals and he is on a lot more than those who do.......if he wasn't there the job would still get done.....or am I over simplifying things. 5.I recently watched a brilliant documentary on The Big Three who were a top group in Liverpool back in the sixties....possibly one of the first hard rock bands and were signed up by Epstein who sacked them because they wouldn't conform....the story is so interesting and quite moving in parts as there is only one still alive....Brian Grifiths.....at the time they were as big as The Beatles but because of their antics they sadly didn't last......I always thought they were born too early......had they began in the eighties they would have rocked the world....the song this week is one I wrote way back in the day and is a tribute to the bands who put Liverpool on the music map...."Merseybeat Memories"

Did a group of high-ranking police officials working for the Spanish Interior Ministry carry out special jobs to damage the reputation of political rivals of the Popular Party during the administration of former Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy?

'A day which has seen ...

The 20-year-old woman -climbed over a rail around the mosaic, according to police.

The grandfather's conviction will not be quashed despite the 17-year-old girl saying she lied while offering evidence as the main witness at his trial.

Some schools in Birmingham want to teach 4 year olds about "life" including same sex relationships....we are talking about 4 year olds here...who are confused enough without being bombarded with this sort of thing....at that age their brains are like sponges and they take everything in... they are told what religion they are and that everyone else beliefs are wrong etc....in my opinion at that age they should be taught arithmetic and how to read and write....let them be kids.....they certainly don't need to know about sex until they are in secondary school when they can make their own minds up...and it is confusing enough then...another sad situation caused by know nothing so called grown ups. I've been doing a bit of DIY lately...a very rare occurrence ... and have come across some modern packaging....I bought a pair of scissors which were contained in clear moulded plastic....which you need scissors to get into....or a Swiss army knife...similarly I bought some washers...by the time I had got through the packaging they had gone in all directions....surely with todays technology packaging could be made easier to penetrate....not to mention the risk of losing a finger during the process...even some bread has a small tag which can only be cut with a chainsaw.....when you get to a certain age patience is one of the things which goes out of the window...so why can't these manufacturers realise this? Last weekend we were treated to The Grand National...AND....the Oxford and Cambridge boatrace....and sport does not get any more boring....unless you are interested in watching some of your money go down the drain I fail to see the point of horse racing....an as for the boatrace WHO CARES?....the only one's who are remotely interested are the brainboxes who go to the two universities....I have played many sports at club level over the years so I have been a participant rather than a spectator and that could be my problem.......I think football is losing its way....when teams start leaving the field because of racist chants I think it's time for these "macho" highly paid sportsmen to have a reality check....racist chants are totally unnecessary but football needs to make allowances for idiots calling them names because they are out there and are paying their wages......I have lost interest in most sports. Now if you want to drive an old car through London you have to pay £12.50....because this will save the planet....what a pile of absolute tripe....cars will still drive through the city and emit the same fumes so nothing will change except some will have to pay......it aint saving the planet IT'S A FINE!! for doing nothing and as usual raking money out of us...and this is going to spread to other cities...especially when they realise they can get money for nothing....this sort of crap is an insult to my intelligence. And here's a sad situation....Jeff Bezos...who is the richest man in the world...has made a record divorce settlement with his missus....27 BILLION pounds......so she should be comfortable for a few years.....just to put that amount into context.....27 billion would give EVERY human being on the planet £4.......EVERY human being.....from ONE person......and if you put 27 billion pound coins side by side the line would go round the globe 14 times.....and if you stood them end to end upwards the line would reach the moon and back....this is how ridiculous the world is.......one person could solve all the problems....and there are thousands of billionaires ....makes you think eh? And finally the song this week is a tribute to where I was born and bred....the Wirral Peninsula.....I feel privileged to live in this wonderful corner of the world and I have made several videos extolling its virtues....this song is taken from one of them....it is entitled Wirral Wonderland.

THOUSANDS of protestors are taking part in a march in Madrid to demand the government take action to curb the depopulation of rural areas. The Revolt of the Emptied Spain demonstration was organised by 85 grassroots groups to highlight the fact 90 per cent of the population is now concentrated in 30 per of the country, in particular Madrid and the coastal areas. WATER reserves are being closely monitored by the Spanish government as a lack of rainfall threatens to take its toll on crops. Authorities are keeping a close eye on rain levels amid fears the lack of water could impact on the agricultural productions.However the water reservoirs are currently at 58 per cent of their total capacity and there is still a commitment to implementing “sustainable and balanced” irrigation modernisation policies. Spain’s National Security Council has warned that xenophobia is on the rise in Spain. In a report, approved on March 15, the council found that while “Spaniards’ attitude on immigration continues to be more welcoming” than the European average.............. Pope Francis said on Sunday that political leaders who want walls and other barriers to keep migrants out "will end up becoming prisoners of the walls they build".

Members of the Conservative Eurosceptic ERG group have openly admitted they are plotting to throw Mrs May out of No 10 because she has asked Mr Corbyn to help rescue her EU divorce.

It is difficult to find a drama on T.V. which doesn't involve graphic displays of shootings and stabbings which are totally unnecessary...and they all begin with "you might find some of the violent scenes disturbing".....SO WHY HAVE THEM?.....if the story MUST have violent killings do we need to see it with the "cleverly" faked stab wounds and blood everywhere.....I started to watch a series called MotherFatherSon starring Richard Gere and the first episode showed an operation where they cut off the top of a blokes head in hospital.......and we wonder why knife crime is on the increase....this sort of stuff simply puts ideas into brainless heads. We are now going to have multi gender toilets in public places....because as you know we have many different genders nowadays....not to mention those who are "gender fluid" who haven't quite made up their minds (do I take my rugby kit to school...or do I take my tu tu to ballet lessons?).....at the moment we do have single toilets in cafes where you go in and lock the door....but the latest ones will be walk in ones for all genders.....I wonder how long it will be before some bloke staggers in bouncing off the walls after 12 pints to be greeted by a high pitched scream and to eventually sober up to find himself in court after being accused by some mentally scarred female of sexual harassment? The latest question is "should bicycles have number plates?"......apparently ALL cyclists are criminals....they ride past and steal mobile phones and handbags etc....so number plates are the answer.....whoever comes up with these ideas definitely needs help...as if some yob is going to register his bike which he has probably stolen anyway....then there was the suggestion that cyclists should be breathalised.....what happens if they are over the limit?....do they lose their number plates?........or could it be a way of getting more money out of us?......the only thing that will help towards curing crime is to make public examples of those responsible.....a harsh sample of jail life would help....it's time we reviewed human rights and put some sense into our legal system which seems to be losing its way. I was in Wales last week and went to a spot I have been going to for years....I parked up and went for a two hour walk....when I got back I noticed in the corner of the car park a pay and display machine which has never been there before....which you don't notice on the way in....fortunately the jobsworth attendant hadn't completed his rounds so there was no ticket....so no £50 fine...which I feel very guilty about I don't think....I must say it gave me a feeling of wellbeing................and finally there was an article on the morning news discussing computer dating and how people misdescribe themselves.....I've never been involved but it must be strange arranging a date with someone you have never met....but it seems to work in a lot of cases........I used to work with an old chap who used to contact available ladies in the local newspaper (before computers) and some of his stories were wonderful. The song tis week is entitled "Subway Songman"......and was inspired by a visit to Liverpool where I was well impressed by the musical ability of some of the buskers......these lads and lasses have more talent in their little finger than the likes of Jonathan Ross and Graham Norton have in their whole bodies....they are out in all weathers entertaining passers by for very little in return.....this song is a tribute to them all

Spanish police have arrested five members of a criminal organization accused of illegally selling access to pay-TV over the internet. Last week, a video went viral of a young man sharpening a large carving knife on a Metro train in Madrid. The video alarmed social media users, with many concerned the young man was dangerous ...... man is in fact a 27-year-old professional ham cutter who was on his way to work. Fashion retailer Zara has sparked a heated debate over the representation of children within the fashion industry, after their latest campaign was labelled 'inappropriate' by many social media users. The Home Office secretly channelled £30,000 in grant money to a controversial organisation campaigning to legalise aedophilia in the late 1970s, a former civil servant has claimed. British Airways passengers have spoken of their shock after boarding a plane to Dusseldorf - that ended up in Edinburgh. The flight, BA3271, set off from London City airport at 7.47am and was supposed to head east to Germany. John McDonnell will order Treasury officials to be retrained in Left-wing ‘economic theories and approaches’ if Labour wins power, it emerged ......

So now our Prime Minister is required to stand down by our wonderful government.....if this happens her replacement could be Mr.Blobby Michael Gove...which says it all....and the sheep are out again marching through the streets pretending they know what the the whole shambles is all about....and we were told there was a MILLION of them which was somewhat exaggerated ...I actually admire Teresa for having to deal with the load of morons in Parliament on a daily basis......we knock Donald Trump but he has more about him than the whole of our government put together....he certainly doesn't take any crap from anyone. But we needn't worry....because Uri Geller is going to stop Brexit happening....with his MIND....is it me or is the planet losing its way?.....Uri wants everyone at a certain time to think...all at once..."Stop Brexit"....so that's O.K. then,,,,and this is from his mansion in the Middle East or wherever.....there is no such thing as telepathy.....I can make cards do "unbelievable things" and make things levitate...and read minds etc....they are TRICKS ...it's not magic.....old Uri must be running out of money.....mind you the "million" marchers will probably fall for it....they seem to believe anything. The WW2 Great Escape has been celebrated...when a batch of English P.O.W.s tunnelled out of a German P.O.W. camp....sadly with disastrous results......most of the escapees were captured and shot ...I saw the film which was very good apart from Steve McQueen who was the "cool" American hero jumping over fences on his motor bike....all very dramatic but in the usual Hollywood fashion it didn't happen....but they have got to get in there somewhere....all very entertaining but I think the actual FACTS would have been more educational.............and speaking of films I watched The Greatest Showman starring Hugh Jackman which roughly follows the rise of Barnam and his circus......the film was sensational....one of the best musicals I have seen....the songs were brilliant and were written by two young unknowns.....there were 1500 involved in the making of it and it took 7 years to complete...an absolute triumph. I've just paid my car tax and as always been totally ripped off because I have a diesel car.....despite the fact that I am paying more than everyone else I still have to negotiate the same potholes which our road tax is supposed to cure....plus I am now apparently destroying the planet!!.....I remember we were originally told that PETROL cars are destroying the planet and diesels were the answer....so we all started buying diesel cars and UP rockets the price of this earth saving fuel....then suddenly the big boys weren't selling enough petrol to furnish their fortunes so they announce that PETROL will save the planet....which hasn't gone down so well....SO it is now time to tell us that ELECTRIC is the answer......low road tax (if any) ...free electric hook ups around the country....no pollution etc etc.....give it a few years and ELECTRIC will be dearer that diesel....which I'm sure will make a big comeback when they count the number of unsold diesel cars....and so it goes.....it's like the cigarette companies....they put the price of fags up to encourage people to stop smoking....yeah sure....it stops nothing...all it does is feather their already overfull nests and while people fall for this crap we will have these millionaires who don't give a monkeys about anyone else. The song this week is a tribute to the roof of Wales...Mount Snowdon....I've just come back after a few days in Caernarfon and I enjoy everything about the area......I have climbed Snowdon several times and it is so worth the climb.....I actually wrote the song for my pa Paul Damian and it is a track off our album which includes How To Say Llanfairpwll etc.....but this is my version and it came about on the first time I reached the summit......I s(continued)

Facebook says it removed a staggering 1.5 million videos showing harrowing viral footage of the Christchurch mosque rampage amid criticism of social media giants for failing to block the images SPAIN needs to double the resources it puts into tourism if it wants to keep the sector growing in the face of a slowdown from the major travel markets like the UK and Germany. IRISH budget airline Ryanair has announced extra summer flights to Alicante on Spain’s Costa Blanca during the peak holiday season. ”During the run-up to the last general election in Spain, political parties used Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to spread their messages. This year,with a snap general election called for April 28 and local, regional and. The Spanish city of Barcelona is preparing to implement restrictions that would, from 2020 onward, prohibit the most-polluting vehicles from entering into its so-called “ZBE” low-emissions zone. More than 60,700 people turned out to see a soccer game between Atlético Madrid and Barcelona at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid on Sunday – John Bercow was accused of sabotaging Theresa May's Brexit deal after telling MPs she cannot force them to vote on it again without changing it 'substantially'. ….. which seems fair enough. A devout Catholic mother who said sex education for five-year-olds is 'abuse' has been questioned under caution by police for incorrectly labelling someone's daughter with the wrong gender. A vegan mother-to-be has vented her fury over suggestions from her husband that she should eat meat during pregnancy.

..A lot of money has been raised for Comic Relief for good causes both here and abroad....63 million pounds....which makes a total of 1.3 billion since it began.......I watched the programme on it which was on all night last Friday......it is a great cause and it's good to see where the money goes....but as far as the "comedy" is concerned it's a "relief" when it's over.....it seems a lot of effort goes into various comedy sketches which fall flat......for example there was a spoof of Mamma Mia which was totally unfunny and pointless....plus another featuring a reunion of the stars of Four Wedding and a Funeral which was a complete disaster......or maybe I am missing something.....it would be better if they simply showed the charity sections and left the comedy out.....or find something that is actually funny. What I find a bit unacceptable about all this money being sent to other countries is we have our own major problems like lack of police and lack of money for the NHS.....and the homeless....it's all very nice seeing celebrities getting a bit of publicity for being involved but Africa,for example,is a big country....a LOT bigger than Britain....can they not solve their own problems?....plus the fact we never really know where ALL the money actually goes.....perhaps we should sort ourselves out first. 2.The news has been dominated by Brexit which has totally lost me and the New Zealand killings in a mosque.....the problem with the human race is we tar everyone with the same brush....because certain nationalities have a certain percentage who want to change the world and go to any lengths for their cause we blame them all....the Muslim religion like every other has it's extremists but they are in the minority and the events in New Zealand are not the answer....perhaps if terrorists were severely and loudly disowned by those of the same race people would listen...but this doesn't seem to happen...this would help their cause and perhaps create a bit more understanding.....it seems they want others to sort things out for them...the terrorist in New Zealand will be dealt with by his own nationality for example..... 3.On the sporting front the wonderful BBC decided to fill our Saturday night viewing with football....ALL NIGHT....with coverage of an FA Cup quarter final ...nice for the supporters of Manchester United or Wolves....but I doubt whether the other 99% of the population required this on peak weekend viewing time...which could have been put on another channel....still I suppose it saves the BBC boffins having to use what little imagination they possess .....this was followed by Match of the Day...enough said..........this was after a day of rugby with the six nations which I did watch and enjoyed especially as Wales got the grand slam........and I see the England ladies rugby team did well...they beat Scotland 80 - Nil.........close game eh?....I bet the spectators enjoyed that....all two of them....I do admire the efforts to get ladies rugby and football off the ground but I think it's a lost cause. 4.At last...at LONG last....we have been presented with a show on Sunday night which is worth watching....ITV have excelled themselves...All Star Musicals....which celebs being trained to perform on stage by the legendary Elaine Page....and with John Barrowman as the ideal host and no aunties,uncles and grannies in the wings it was welcome relief from the usual rubbish where so called singers see who can shout the loudest.....however it's the audience who vote for the winner....so why have judges?? 5.Lest we should forget...the song this week is a reminder of the pop stars who formed our youth....some of which have made a comeback since I wrote the song so they are not completely forgotten....the song is taken from my album Stars Over 45 and it is called "The Ballad of The Forgotten Pop Stars"

Former Catalan premier Carles Puigdemont twice disregarded requests by the regional police force to call off the unauthorized referendum of October 1, 2017 despite the “climate of tension” in Catalonia..........The pro-independence movement sees the trial as politically motivated and defines the defendants as “political prisoners.” Fifteen years after the 2004 Madrid terrorist attacks that killed 193 people andleft around 1,700 injured, eight of the 18 men sentenced by the Spanish Supreme Court for the massacre remain in prison. In the last six months, the Civil Guard and National Police have broken up two networks that were operating inside Spanish prisons, where their job was to radicalize Muslim prisoners in jail for ordinary crimes. With four elections coming up in April and May, the Spanish government has set up a special unit to fight “hybrid threats” including cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns. SPAIN has become one of the world’s largest fashion exporters, according to new figures. The country outperformed both France and the United Kingdom to take tenth position. In the uk.......Last night's hammering of the Brexit deal will unlock a wave of unpredictable consequences that could delay or even cancel Brexit, trigger a new referendum or election, and even lead to Mrs May's resignation. Paul Mitchell, 27, admitted assaulting Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish, 23,at Birmingham Magistrates' Court today after invading the pitch during the Birmingham derby. Despite an earlier report the lessons had been scrapped the school has insisted the 470-pupils at Parkfield Community School learn about same-sex relationships in classrooms after Easter........ They just need to learn their letters and numbers and be taught to be nice to everyone no matter who they are. Michael Jackson impersonators are 'busier than ever' since an investigative documentary aimed to expose the 'King of Pop' as a paedophile was released.

Scotland has now got its own news channel.....which has cost £32 million....for 6 million people.....the BBC sure know how to spend our licence fee.....what is the point??....England has to suffer the national news (which mainly covers stabbings and murders) and also has local channels (which also mainly cover stabbings and murders).....but the Scots (or some of them) feel they are missing out........believe my guys you are NOT!!......the only news the rubbish BBC seem to cover is Brexit or fan the flames of problems like knife crime.....nothing of which helps in any way......unless they can sensationalise nasty situations and depress us all it's not news....I've actually stopped watching it along with many others.....the media in general should start helping to try and solve situations instead of adding to the doom and gloom with their negative reporting. 2.On the subject of dreadful television....there has recently been a documentary on Michael Jackson's alleged activities...on Channel 4 which I purposely avoided....what purpose does this serve?...the guy is dead....oh yes I forgot there is quite a bit of money a involved....and there are TWO accusers.....which seems to warrant a three hour documentary.....anyone who can get pleasure out of watching this sort of garbage needs help....Jackson was a strange chap but he entertained and was respected by millions....but the witch hunters have to focus on TWO accusers.....let's move on PLEASE!!! Amongst the cookery programmes and reality TV shows we are also subjected to "Family Tree" programmes where lost relatives are found etc.....the only person this is of interest to is the participant.....could I care if they find a Grannie who has been living in New Zealand for the last 80 years and bring her along to meet her huge family?....No. 3.Now let's get one thing straight before we go any further....CATAIN MARVEL WAS A BLOKE!!!.......not a girl!!....he was the alter ego of Billy Batson who turned into Captain Marvel after uttering "SHAZZAM!!".....to my horror and disbelief there is a blockbuster movie out where he is a girl.....I don't mind them intruding into football or even rugby (which gives me the opportunity to watch something else)...but I have to draw the line at Captain Marvel!!....it's like Dwayne Johnson playing Cinderella!!......two of the stars of the film...Brie Larson who plays Miss Marvel...and Samuel L.Jackson were on the Jonathan Ross show...old Sam being his usual happy self and Jonathan trying to inject some comedy into the situation...and failing.....then on comes comedian Seann Walsh and instantly starts apologising for snogging his dance partner when he was on Strictly Come Dancing....it was months ago!!...NO-ONE CARES!!...you're single!!..........you need congratulating mate.....I think Jonathan Ross is well past his sell by date. 4.On the opposite end of the scale to Mr.Ross is someone with talent....a fascinating programme on Andre Previn was shown recently..... an incredible musician who passed away a few weeks ago....he was well known for his hilarious appearance on the Morecambe and Wise show but there was so much more to this man....he won four Oscars for his musical scores in films and originally started as a jazz musician which I didn't know.....he was interviewed shortly before he died and still had a great sense of humour.....what always amazes me about these top class musicians is their ability to write the music for all the instruments in the orchestra.....they actually hear it in their head and get it down on paper....brilliant........it makes the pop music of today look a bit sick. 5.Speaking of great music the song this week is one of my classics.....it is called The Dibber Song and came about from comments Norman Thomas used to make about his gardening problems....a dibber being a gardening utensil for making holes in the soil into which you dr(continued)
