5.8 billion roughy brought in by music industry . 446 million brought in by uk fishing industry. So why @RishiSunak @BorisJohnson have you ignored the pleas of musicians to be able to play in Europe after Brexit without needing work permit? You COULD have helped us!!!! But NO

Worth watching the daphne snd Celeste vid … amazing attitude and balls of steel compared to royal blood. I was put on between future heads and supergrass at a festival… I told the audience it was for health and safety reasons and their ears were getting a gentle rest……

Last word on Royal Blood: this is how you deal with it, and these poor girls got much, much worse. (We ( @ArabStrapBand ) met them once and they were lovely. Always liked them. And it turns out they're hard as fuck too. Legends.)
