NOT The Eurovision Song Contest
Blood & Roses - (A message to Keir Starmer.)
A refugee from planet EarthCame by my house todayHe asked me if I had some work,A place where he could stay.
I took him in, I gave him tea,I made him up a bed.I bandaged up his broken knee.I washed his bloody head.
Set him onto mowing my lawnTrimming my hedge, digging my veg.
I wash all the blood,He cuts the roses.My near neighbourhoodLook down their noses.
We are happy here,With blood and roses,The blood and roses,Those blood red roses,
Harry Rogers, Harriboy’s Hut, 30th October, 2016.

STILL BOB BOBBING - Episode 1 - DEMOCRACY AND SOCIALISM
A view from the left as us three old red robin comrades from Undod Chwith Cymru/Left Unity Wales chat and rant about politics past and present, discuss current events, publicise campaigns, occasionally invite guests to join the mayhem, and generally try to bring their 250 years of shared life experience to bear on the issues that they want to. As Studs Terkel said "We live, we hope, we act.", We're not stopping just because we're in our eighth decade. This first episode features Craig Lewis, Harry Rogers and Len Arthur having a chinwag about democracy and socialism. Solidarity comrades.
