Tom Waits:"They have removed the struggle to find anything. Book store owners and record store owners used to be oracles, in that way; you'd go in this dusty old place and they might point you toward something that would change your life. All that's gone."
This argument from the Trump team that Britain needs to choose between EU ‘socialism’ and US ‘free enterprise’ would be stronger if it weren’t for the fact that Trump is proposing massive protectionism to stop free enterprise.

Transcendant return for Nick Cave to London with Warren Ellis not looking a day older than 15 years ago at Hammersmith Odeon. I’m not sure whether a night of music can make you ‘un lapsed’ after five decades without belief, but Tupelo, Mercy Seat and Into My Arms were heavenly. – at London, England

The estimated cost of Brexit in annual lost tax revenue is £40 billion. The Treasury briefs there is now a £40 billion fiscal adjustment to be made. Of course other decisions ( the Tory NI cuts) have contributed. Nonetheless October 30th is fairly the Brexit Budget Reckoning .
