Turbulence continues to grow in strength as an artist. The depth of feeling evident in his songs.. the yearning in his voice, reminiscent of Jah Cure perhaps.. only it's... well.. uniquely Turbulence.
Lovely lovely song
So what's this I hear?...ex Mayor Ken Livingston has been suspended from the Labour Party?.
It's said that the two topics people should stay away from at dinner party's are religion and politics. Not sure why... both are sure to liven proceedings no end.
Seriously though Ken Livingston should know that he cannot make certain remarks (unless it meets with the satisfaction of those who take a certain position) and expect them to be taken lightly.
He knows the establishment better than most, so I'm assuming he really isn't too fussed what they do
He has stated his opinion, and that's that.
How are the currently seemingly unelectable in a general election Labour Party doing anyway?
Currently not strong in opposition is my view.
Even I'm a little tired of the politricks right now..
Make no mistake, I love it, but I'm yet to work out how progress can be made if people aren't able to be thier auntentic selves.
We the British tend to prefer masking the truth with protocol... when I suspect there are times that the 'honourable members really feel like saying
wtf is this shite?...sit yo lying ass down
But that wouldn't be polite
I hadn't seen ex Labour leader Ed Miliband for awhile
Here he is speaking on Sundays Andrew Marr (minus Andrew Marr)
Here Is the current Labour leader speaking with the man himself.. Andrew Marr.
There is an ever increasing trend of the expoliation of migrant workers, and workers globally. difficult to tackle unless the focus moves from a demand for excess profits to an emphasis on fairness and the well being of the workers.

Turbulence again... this time on the joys of oral
Not for him it seems..lol!! ( apparently .. he doesn't even kiss.. what he say?.. breast? lawd, he's too much)
This track made me laugh out loud on the journey home. Funny guy.
Turbulence.. I prefer you on one drop tunes singing about love...
Riddim track's pretty cool though..
Night night...

Comic Relief and Africa - ft EmmaOMG - Marry Me
I'm awaiting some real hot chocolate from Jamaica any day now courtesy of a friend
I remember how much I used to love it anytime my parents brought some back from Monsterrat.. Mmmmm it tastes so good..
Anyway, I've been quite busy lately with various things, and my days have been long, so I haven't been able to update as much as I'd like, but I'll be back on it as before, pretty soon
I'm actually blogging from my bed, eyes blurry ready to sleep!
Did you know that Red Nose Day raised about £71m this year? [click]
What an amazing fundraiser it is!
I've been reading various articles as usual and found a few on the impact Comic Relief has on the African 'development' narrative
One article, written by David Lammy MP raised several points on the overall perception of poverty in Africa. You know the perception I mean....
Likened to Band Aid, with 'us' the privileged 'westerners' stepping in to 'save' poor hungry 'Africans ( mainly women and children)'
Ordinarily I would share that view and in many ways I do, after all, we've been fed that diet for many years despite the reality that Africa is a huge continent with a growing and strong middle class and wealthy elite.
Basically, not everyone is starving in Africa, and poverty exists right here in the UK. Sure it's all relative and what we do have here in the UK, is a strong welfare state.
Not so across Africa
What I do like about Red Nose Day however, is that it brings out the best in people, people of all ages do something in the hope that it will help someone else.. someone living miles away... who they will never meet.
'Little man' gets excited about it every year, and that's nice to see
So yes, whilst David's points are valid, the good that prevails even if it's just to make others aware of someone else ... balances out quite well.
People give, despite knowing that many of those who suffer the most economically and otherwise, do so not through any fault of thier own, rather due to poor government, governance and war.
That however is not an issue for Africa alone, but until those on the continent in positions of power become more selfless and commit to the development of, and elimination of poverty in their midst, the issue will continue
Comic relief .. relieves the pressure from corrupt governments to do better.. after all.. they are aware that whatever they neglect to do... an NGO will surely fill the gap
This track is in no way even minutely related to what I've just said...I just love it
Night night x
