"but he hasn't half put up with some jip." (Stigweard)...as do many in modern England who dare to question immigration, and support nationalism; in 1950s England, however, my views would have been far less radical. Net migration alone has gone up by 1.8 million under New Labour - Blair, Brown, Darling, etc. all left Scotland for England and have supported so many others who wished to do similar. They didn't "fix the roof" (Brown) while the economic climate was good, they did, rather, let in this record amount of capitalist/economic immigration (perhaps hoping for the ethnic vote) that many citizens, and wildlife, are now going to pay for.
Blair said: "We don't want a return of English nationalism"...yes we do - this time, with eco-travel and fair-trade with other nations, rather than imperialism and conquest (which I hate, Don, Tim, etc. - be it Nazi, Victorian or any other).

And Don - instead of again distorting, amongst other things, my reply to your question on what music I think you should practise/perform (in brief, I said I'd probably try country/rock; and listen to Amerindian music, as I do now via the web), why don't you go ahead and do some recording for us?

"What I don't get is why he doesn't just leave, given his reception here?" (LH)...readers who don't post (the ones who do are mostly pro-immigrationists) have minds and mouses of their own - I do want a lot to read my life's work as I'm sure it's a good way forward for humanity.
But, to Olddude, a LOT of the 230 pieces in this collection are simple travel poems and songs...I said in my blurb that I've attempted to be "humoruous, informative and didactic".
