"I really do think that the crowning glory of **** is that we've always managed to disappoint in the big occasions. When the chips were down, we never came through." Wouldn't it be great if we could fill the **** in on this and attribute it to everyone who ever let us down, politicians, bosses, friends and lovers. It is actually attributed to Jonny Rotten of The Sex Pistols and it shows the kind of paradoxical honesty of the punk movement (which Rotten couldn't really claim to represent). I haven't been to Edinburgh recently because travelling is a problem right now. Maybe today I will get some kind of green light on that, we'll see. I walk with optimism. And yesterday I was thinking about Australia, goodness knows if I will ever be able to travel there again. But its hard to think about that wonderful land without also thinking about the cracks, they have a horrendous immigration policy which our own UKIP people admire (hmm) but they also have that past and the need to juggle the two is something the liberal Australians spend a lot of time fighting. Its not my fight, of course, but I can observe and lend solidarity and remember Archie Roach singing from from little things, big things grow - optimism:
