Happy New Year to everyone who hates Reform! Here's to 2026 and another year of taking the piss out of the frog-faced Fuhrer and his mates. xx

International Maritime Organisation stop the #greenwashing of Liquid Natural Gas! It's a #fossilfuel that leaks methane. One large cruise ship powered by LNG emits equiv. methane to 10,500 cows. In the 1st 20 years methane is 80x more powerful than CO2 at trapping heat.

Somehow convinced myself this was Red Guitar by David Sylvian to start with. It very much isn't. #forgotten80s
This seems a bit jaunty for a song about waiting to buy some heroin #forgotten80s
Is #6music going to be like this all day (slow, chilled tracks) because it's "the day after Glastonbury". Except most of us weren't actually there and listening to a few sets on the radio wasn't actually that draining. I need some pep!
Better than the Psychic TV version where "Genesis P.Orridge stays in tune for whole notes at a time" (NME review) #forgotten80s
Tuning in for another Vinyl Collective on BBC Scotland. Strong start with the 12" of Eurythmics Sexcrime #FridayNightIsVinylNight
...and the 20th best Abba song is Green Green Grass by George Ezra #Radio2
Am I imagining Gary's already played The Visitors an hour ago ? #potp

Just off for a hearing in a rape case. Allegation reported in 2021, trial not before 2025, if we’re all lucky.
No podium speeches from the Prime Minister about this. No promises to magic up more judges, courts or lawyers.
Just silence, and the threat of further cuts to come.
I can imagine James Hamilton reviewing this in Record Mirror "Juddery, hi-nrg belter (128-122-128bpm). Big at Heaven" #Forgotten80s
Not quite as good as Pete Shelley's theme tune for Channel 4's Tour de France coverage in the 80s, but a close second #Forgotten80s
Is Altered Images the controversial choice? #ClaireGrogan #MovedTo9OclockGate #NeverForget #forgotten80s
I quite like Communards but don't remember this at all. It's almost like a lost Bronski track #forgotten80s
My DAB has started going slow...oh no, that's just how Hattie talks #forgotten80s
Not super forgotten but absolute banger klaxon #forgotten80s
