Gruff moaning to my American cousins, and all other friends on the right side of history.
First, a bit of health news... Tomorrow I'm in hospital to have another cancerous section of lung removed. About bloody time - I was beginning to think they'd forgotten me. Dunno when I'll post again after today, but whatever it is will be fentanyl-fuelled as they'll be upping my dose, so take no notice.
Her Indoors reminds me that it was today in 1975 that I proposed. Or, more properly, as I like to remind her, when she asked me to propose. So it was that over the summer of 1975 she went from Bird In The Pub to The Girlfriend to The Intended. A few months yet before she became Her Indoors.
How do Her Indoorses remember all these dates? Blokes are barely aware of their own birthdays.
Anyway, womanhood of the English midlands lost a faithful and most enthusiastic admirer.
I have no idea what to post. I did to death the huge Unite The Kingdom march in London yesterday - something the Sunday political programmes are going out of their way to ignore.
Ah - I know! 80 years ago today, World War II done and dusted. Here are the four pages (all they were allowed) of the London News Chronicle for the 14th of September, 1945...

Putin and Trump are wrapping up their discussion...
Putin says: "You know, Don. I had this dream few days ago"
Trump: "Oh, what kind of dream?"
Putin: "I saw America, in flames. Nuclear warhead crater where Capitol used to be. New York leveled. Los Angeles covered in human ash. It was Glorious, Joe. I nearly teared up..."
Trump: "Huh. that's a weird dream. Well, I had one of my own few days as well."
Putin: "Go on..."
Trump... "I saw Moscow - brilliant again. Full of dancing, laughter, people driving fancy imported cars again. Wearing latest fashion designer's clothes. Very European, very International - just like it was before the sanctions. And neon signs and slogans everywhere! They were too bright to ignore!"
Putin: "What did they say, those neon signs?"
Trump "Who the fuck knows, I don't speak Ukrainian."
