Brilliant to hear that poem by Aja again. ‘ I am a woman, you are a scam’. 👏👏👏

Curating discomfort…😂. What a load of pretension b……s. I’m sure there’s a Python sketch to fit that.

Breathe a sigh of relief Dusty, you must feel dirty after wading through all that political claptrap. Well done for your dedication in a good cause.

Thanks, TT. I must say I am very relieved!! The prize for the most pretentious manifesto definitely goes to the Workers Party 😂 Most woo woo? Lots of candidates for that!! 🤣

Most GC? Probably the Tories and SDP - but the Tories could have sorted it of course!!

Yes those exhibitions are very Pythonesque!! What has become of the arts!!

Hi Lyndsey....and yes ... how can people vote for him, he is so untrustworthy and, as you say, misogynistic. Flip flops all the time!! No apology to Rosie Duffield etc etc

TT, tell Lyndsey your vision of Starmer and Blair 😊

My opinion of Starmer is on the Field of Victory update. I can’t bear to give him more time than necessary to write it out again 😡

Aja the Empress is well named; I love her understated but uncompromising assertions, including ‘know your place’.

Count Binface’s manifesto: sensible policies for a happier Britain! 🇬🇧 I think these two would be great joint prime ministers.

Australia & Scotland should join together in a new union of BonkersInc. They’d be very happy together.

I had mixed up the two Fats; l love them both. Thanks so much for the video of ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’ with the inimitable Fats Waller & the fabulous Lena Horne.

And thanks also for mining through the doublespeak & bad faith of manifesto-land so we don’t have to. You deserve a 🥇Dusty!

You're welcome, Liz, so glad I've got to the end!

Aja and Count B as joint PM - love it! I understand that since there is no POW candidate in the constituency where the Count is standing some GC women will be voting for him 😊

Glad you enjoyed Fats W and I should have pointed out the marvellous Lena Horne to readers - thanks for that.

No need to worry; Lena’s mentioned in the comments. Did you know that her photos for album covers were uplit to lighten her appearance? They did the same for Myrna Loy who was Indian, I think. How things have progressed since then.

Good heavens I didn't know that!

Myrna ‘employed’ her mother as her maid to ensure she was close to her. Her kindness had to be hidden.

Meant to say that her relationship had to be hidden, too.
