Haha…the government monetises being queer, so their staff identify as queer. I await the day that the same people also claim to be First Nations people.
At a slightly higher level of intellectual achievement than the North of Richmond ditty :

A major omission from your Swedish section. The Refreshments. Finest Rock n Roll band in the world today, with Johan Bloom one of the best Boogie Woogie piano players on the planet.

The greatest rock n roll bands write their own content , but yes, performance wise , The Refreshments are most impressive.
David, in light of recent very sad and disturbing events that I’m sure leave many people (including me), bewildered and asking ‘why’? – may I suggest a book by Randy Alcorn, ‘The Grace and Truth Paradox’ and in particular Chapter Five of that book, ‘A Closer Look at Grace’. I have found his words so helpful and very humbling indeed. They point to a God of love and infinite mercy whom we can trust with all our hearts even when we don’t understand.
Hello David..,
Again a very good exposition of the past week’s news etc.., esp on Sweden, Brics and USA..!
With apologies to pedantically point out that Chess is a game, not a sport, as also golf is a game…
I enjoy playing squash, being a gladiatorial game of ‘physical chess’ which is a sport, very suitable to Scotland, as can be played anytime of day or night and in any weather conditions outside, which certainly suits the climate conditions in Scotland.., and with the added benefit of several hundred calories burn in a short space of time..!
Regarding the churches and followers of Jesus being burnt and killed in Pakistan.., can you you imagine the outcry and spewed hatred and political hatred, if koran’s were burnt, and mosques targeted here in Broken Britain..?
It would appear that so-called political correctness, woke-ism and general fear to offend, in a so-called ‘free speech’ society has taken over.., at least for now…
I think it’s Amon Amarth? Not “Amaon Amrath”. Sindarin for “Mount Doom” – they are big Tolkien fans.
Sweden’s reputation for secularisation isn’t entirely justified. It is mostly based on the cities- the countryside is more conservative, with pockets of pietism. But things are changing. I spend most of my summers there- my wife is half-swedish. We’ve seen small country towns significantly changed by immigration from Muslim countries.
Oh yes, another ommission from Swedish bands – Sabaton!
Another Sabaton fan here. While listening to this episode I was racking my brain trying to think where I recognised that national anthem from, then I realised it’s one of my Sabaton albums.
