Bruce Springsteen does not care about you | Opinion

"...the divide between supporters will continue to grow, as some fans will accept that the unparalleled E Street Band live experience is no longer meant for them, while others will continue to act under the delusion that an artist living on his sprawling Colts Neck horse farm somehow remains a populist rocker with their interests at heart — truly his most brilliant disguise."

I'm a long time fan. Seen him live plenty of times. Have a ticket for Amsterdam next year. But this has been an utter cluster fuck. I never ever though the Boss would go down in my estimation, but he's sinking fast here.

The whole ticketing system is - like seemingly everything else in the 21st century - just a method to squeeze as much money as possible out of ordinary people into the pockets of shareholders. I just never thought Bruce would be one of those involved in the squeezing - as one commentator said, he's not totally to blame but it's his name on the  ticket. 

What happens when tens of thousands of homes can't/refuse to pay £500 a month? 

I'm sure the government have this all in hand.

BBC -

"European wholesale gas prices closed at €204.85 (£172.08) per megawatt hour - the third highest price on record. The all-time high was achieved on 8 March when prices closed at €210.50 (£176.76) per megawatt hour.

"However, this time last year the wholesale gas price in Europe was at just above €37 (£31.08) per megawatt hour."

"...the International Energy Agency has warned that this is the first truly global energy crisis. Europe may be at the epicentre but we're all feeling the shockwaves of Moscow's "weaponising" of energy in an acute way."

Which is nice. 

If people are walking less because they're WFH more, can you not just go for a walk near where you live? I try and do 10/15 mins first thing, lunchtime and evening.

Jeremy Hunt on GMB blaming Labour for the financial state of the NHS. Skillfully avoiding the fact that Conservatives have been in power for 12 years , and he was Health minister for 6 years. 

Inhalers. That's all I hear from the ones I know. They've said it so often they now actually believe it's true. 

38 degrees according to my car temperature gauge. I've had to apply factor 10, I'm usually a factor 4 oil type of guy.

The wife is in a right mood, it’s probably the heat. I’ll tell her to cool down, that’ll sort it. 

Tell her to chill out.

"Take a chill pill, Jill." If her name's Jill, anyway.

Finished it. Enjoyed it. Good entertainment.

Another example of the damage Johnson has done is the obvious lack of talent left in the Parliamentary conservative party. They all genuinely seem thick as fuck and proper oddballs. I wouldn't feel particularly confident with any of them at the helm in any kind of crisis. 

Tory MP on Sky News last night (forget his name) going on about the "embarrassment of riches" in the Tory Party. Jesus mate - embarrassment I agree with. Not riches though. 

England have been pretty ruthless. And I have no idea who any of them are so I don't hate them, unlike the men's team.

I lived there for a few years and its a weird place. The nights out were dreadful and just full of cunts. Weirdly too, its one of the only places i have been were people in work were actually antagonistic about donating to a food bank. Most places people have been ambivalent but in Newcastle i actually had one lad start a rival collection for animals at the same time, as they 'cant feed themselves'.

 

That being said, i think the two soundest lads i have come across were also Geordies, so i guess you just have to take people as you find them.

That's some logic. What did animals do to eat before humans evolved? 

The men's doubles wheelchair game here has been terrific entertainment. 

Carrie Johnson

Baby P's mum has been let out of jail. Personally I think she should have been fed through a meat grinder feet first, but then I always was too kind like that. 

Kim Delaney was absolutely stunning... every scene she's distracting.

When these Tories turn on each other, they PROPERLY turn on each other. No messing around. 
 

Tory MP (and a believable Fast Show character) Andrew Bridgen has just said it’d be best if Johnson just stepped down entirely and said he was too unwell to continue. 
 

The interviewed queried that he wasn’t unwell. 
 

Bridgen, with a snarky look on his face, replied “well, that depends who you ask.”

 

Meow!

Liz Truss fucking off the G20 summit early to get back and start her leadership campaign. They're all fucking rats.

Fuck me, on social media there are still cretins that support this oaf. The state of this country when working class people weep for a PM like Johnson.

I thought they were all bots but some fella rang radio Merseyside this morning, and that's exactly what he said. What's he done wrong, this is a witch-hunt blah blah.

What's he done wrong!!!? Fucking hell mate, where do we start! 

Has James Pearce confirmed this move yet?

Fucking hell, Corbyn has become the catch all excuse for the tories, like the Bush White House used to use 9/11 to excuse any old bollocks they wanted to foist on the American public.

The Mail editor on Sky News said "imagine how bad things would be if Corbyn had got in." Fucking hell mate, the country has gone to absolute shit! Mind boggling.

Tomorrow's Telegraph - Johnson saved us from Corbyn. Fucking hell give it a rest. Even the fucking Daily Mail fella on Sky News was saying it.

Christ it's hard to keep up with this shit.
