I ponder if denied entry on French border is there another way to get into the U.K? Hopefully not! Too many nautical miles?

I'm hoping for a Marine Le Pen government in France, because if she has serious intent to stop undocumented illegal entry to her country, then it means they will not be travelling through France in great numbers to come over here.

Crazy to think that its 127,000 arrivals so far and that’s just those that are accounted for excluding the ‘disappeared’ and at this rate in ten years time it'll be a case of approx half a million that have entered the U.K that nobody knows the true identity of.

I guess that there are many out there hoping for the emergence of more sensible right-wing border control and rulers with intention to filter out and erode the numbers down to a trickle levels. Perish the thought and possibility of it ending up as 100,000+ a year!

Populism is now unstoppable, the dam has burst; Millions within the EU are now sticking their two fingers up to the politcal establishment and the EU!..... That?..... Could end up with the destruction of the EU, or end up with a right wing EU, because its arrogant lefty-loon/liberal leaders have failed to apply common sense and to listen!

There is also hope on the small boats issue, because allowing small boats to leave France and for smuggling gangs to operate means that it encourages illegal immigrants to enter France in the first place.

And I guess this is the very lady that realises that, whilst also knowing that France has a military very capable of boosting border control effectiveness by coming to the aid of over-stretched French police.

Because it has rather looked that there has never been any real intention to stop illegal entrants from entering France and to stop the smugglers and boats anyhow.

BADFINGER - They Sold A Million ...
at 13:48 22 Jun 2024

At the time (late 1970's) of being asked to leave Duck Son And Pinker I thought that the rather abrupt and unfriendly guy doing the orders was a right b@stard.

All these years later I pause and reflect and think that a lot of stock must have been damaged or dropped or stolen by over zealous and excited young hands. Hence why I have warm memories of John Ham's kindness to let teenagers like myself stand in awe at stuff that was impossible to purchase, or to save up for out of pocket money.

BADFINGER - They Sold A Million ...

Thanks! I used to go into John Ham’s music shop as a teenager and in my early twenties and see the (and not copies) 'proffesional' instruments that my hero's on TOTP played. His shop tended to be the only one with that type of stock.

I can vividly remember seeing a Les Paul Deluxe played by Thin Lizzy and The Who....A white Fender Precision Bass with black scratch plate that Sid Vicious played, a silver face Fender Twin 100w amp that Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols used, a Rickenbacker 330 that Paul Weller played and a Rickenbacker 4001 bass that Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols, Lemmy from Motorhead and Bruce Foxton of The Jam played.

This was all extremely ‘high-end’ gear that could not be scratched, scuffed or damaged, BUT despite that John Ham would let me and other kids wander and browse through his shop, unlike ‘Duck Son And Pinker’ where we were asked to leave despite causing no trouble or threat of damage to its vastly ‘inferior’ gear.

John Ham was an absolute diamond!

To the rear of (closed many years back) Top Gear Music on London’s Denmark Street in the 1970’s was the outbuilding that became Badfinger’s rehearsal studio, which latter become the Sex Pistols rehearsal studio, demo-recording location and living quarters.

I had a conversation with the former owner of Top Gear Music, and he said that Pete Ham’s brother John used to make regular trips to Denmark Street even after Pete's passing. I guess it's a location popular for many fans of both Badfinger and Sex Pistols to go on some form of pilgrimage to retrace their musical hero's steps also.

I guess for John however it was some form of emotional release and sentimental-cathartic healing part of the grieving process for him, because I guess it was the very location where is brother was at his most happiest, most successful and untouched from the sociopathic world of rip-off mangement and music industry executives.

There has been talk and reporting about Europe drfiting futher and further towards the right? There is speculation and reporting about Eurpopean youth drifting further towards the right also? Maybe the entire EU is about to change in a way that could never ever have been imagined only a few years ago?

Are they singing 'The forbidden song' called 'Auslander Raus' out of ideological beliefs, or because the song is rather catchy like other football songs?

No matter how hard they try, no matter how they collectively connive, insult and smear they cannot cancel the upcoming tidal wave of populism and justifiable opinion based upon common sense, stark reality and ability to appraise and predict the bleeding-bloody-obvious future that awaits the U.K.

Something has to be done, and the sooner the better.

I’m really bemused? Why is trying to prevent the U.K from catastrophic over-population, from becoming a segregated society based upon sectarian lines and wanting border control to stop mass importation of organised crime gangs so wicked to some?

IMO many hate this country, its traditions, its values, its displays of patriotism and pride for past historical deeds when real Nazi’s were defeated etc.

And I predict that people are going to be in for an incredible shock come election results. Reform U.K is going to perform way beyond what many people currently think, or predict!

Aye, the only hope is that (albeit likely forlorn) is that Westminster Labour realises that Cardiff Bay Labour is a damaging stain on its own reputation and tries to influence matters by providing money to annual Wales running costs/budget with strings attatched directives.

A case of "Here is an extra billion pounds, spend it outside of Cardiff" otherwise no money!

I think that (bearing in mind that impoverishment of Wales continued under New Labour) it'll be a continued case of "keep Wales poor", keep the status quo and keep the relief road (or alternative) stuck in the long grass!!!!

Dawn of a new era it will not be! Wales will NOT be another 'Celtic Tiger' to match Ireland before it ruined itself with uncontrolled immigration.

Aldershot's Conservative candidate has done something unheard of by coming out only a short while back by openly admitting that his constituencies Conservative vote has been hit extremely hard, because (he's heard it on the door!) '"Loads" (his words!) are turning to the Reform party!

There is going to be a lot of recrimination and seething anger post election when losing Conservative M.P’s and heavy hitters finally go off script and become mutinous and disloyal in mass numbers by turning on the party itself.

And my guess is that Britains disgraceful excuse of a prime minister is going to get it big time. Could not even respect D-day hey!!!!

There is going to be a lot of recrimination and blame once the requirement for self-discipline and party loyalty is no longer required!

Idiots and witchfinder generals who throw around malicious false accusations and insults like gammon, Nazi, racist, bigot, far-right, knuckle dragger, fascist, Neanderthal etc must surely be the elite for enabling home goal outcomes.

When common sense was dished out they were not even at the back of the queue because they tripped over their own feet trying to get there. Special mention to Michael Heseltine with his "racist" accusation. He just does not get it does he?

Never learnt from the referendum, never learnt from the EU elections and still not learnt to this very day!
