So, let me get this straight... We're bombing Syria, because Syria bombed Syria, to show Syria that Syria shouldn't bomb Syria. Then, after we've bombed Syria for bombing Syria, we still won't accept Syrian refugees that are seeking refuge from the bombing. Got it.

The A346 between Swindon and Marlborough is CLOSED. Please avoid the area. We are working with @wiltscouncil and @wiltshirepolice to clear the road following extensive snow drifts last night

Fun fact: We are the first act to sell out this 750 cap venue, without the aid of an agent, a manager, a label, or any help from the press. That's all down to you wonderful people. I hope you know how grateful I am.
