Standing down as Labour Party General secretary. Big supporter of Corbyn and Red Len. Good news all round.

I hope she takes over her late father's window cleaning round.

I saw him leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street.

That story seems to have gone into common parlance. By coincidence, I was reading about it only today, as a bit of side research following up on something in a book I'm reading on the Spanish Civil War.
Anyhow, old Musso, his girlfriend and a number of camp followers were caught near Lake Como whilst attempting to flee to Switzerland. The partisans shot them all and transported the bodies to a square in Milan, where they dumped them and drove off. The square being the scene of regular partisan executions under the fascists, the locals hung the bodies upside down from an iron girder across the entrance to an Esso petrol station on the square, where they were then subjected to all sorts of abuse. No lampposts involved, though.

Anyway, to get back to Formby, good riddance, keep it up Kier. We'll soon have Boris strung up by the heels. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

I had a mate who was married to a girl whose grandmother was Italian and spat at Mussolini whilst he was hanging

People were very intolerant of camp people in those days, especially if they wore bright clothing. If you were even a bit camp you would have been well advised to keep it to yourself and close friends.

Oh and Jennie was learning to play the ukulele last I heard.

You may want to add a copy of this to your reading list, pal:



It follows the bizarre journey of the body of Mussolini from the ghoulish spectacle in Milan to its eventual return to his family and final interment at Predappio.

An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

I went to visit the memorial where Franco is buried. Not a fan but it is a remarkable monument. The late Jose the Basque Jack asked me to spit on his grave “from Jose”
Couldn’t do the full expectoration as it was guarded, tightly.
Managed to direct some symbolic droplets in Francos direction, from Jose.

Well done, mate. Anyway, the current government dug his remains up a few months ago and had them buried elsewhere, as an act of respect to the thousands of political prisoners who died building the little fecker's monument. It is now a monument to peace and reconciliation, as it should be.

Even as I was writing that, I thought to myself "some dull fecker will make a pathetic joke about the use of the word camp".

You never disappoint.

Hi Mike, as you're interested in the Spanish Civil War, if you ever venture up towards Zaragoza area, try and visit a place called Belchite, a village that was destroyed during hostilities but was never rebuilt as Franco wanted it to be left as a reminder of what his enemies were capable of so the locals built a brand new Belchite next to it.

BTW, are you allowed outside yet?

I watched a program about the battle at Belchite, there is still an unexploded shell lodged in the Cathedral wall. It's supposedly haunted. Many battle sites have ghost stories though.

I'll be glad when Starmer has finished his 'refurbishment' of Labour, out with the useless and broken down and in with hopefully really good people.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

Hi mate, yes allowed out now for walks. Just returned from a 2km walk to the village pharmacy to stretch the legs and buy some face masks. Sunk a pint of lager on my return without it touching the sides! It's feckin hot here now after a very poor April. Soon be splashing around in the pool.

Belchite was an extraordinary story, it was a battle over something that neither side wanted nor needed and involved some American troops. Completely destroyed a town of no strategic interest to anybody. Very sad.
