Yes: I’ve got an earworm going through my head.
And, yes: it’s from Japan’s only heavy metal Idoru band, Babymetal …
Why it’s been banging through my head over night?
I really don’t know.
I’m just — still — wondering why on Earth the band have a state of the Virgin Mary at the back of the stage … ?

If you’re in the UK, you’re possibly aware of the Brexit situation.
One thing that caught me?
Was Boris’s Johnson’s recent statement in Parliament: saying that best way to honour the late Jo Cox, MP, was to “get Brexit done.”
Personally?
I felt that was a bit nasty. Especially as Jo Cox was killed because she was openly supporting remain.
The other? Was and is the various reports that various MPs are being targeted — by hardline left and right wingers — with … …
Let’s call them threats of violence.
What really caught my eye?
Were comments from controversial government advisor, Dominic Cummings: that anger at MPs was “… not surprising.”
He’s right, there, I think: even though he’s not the type of person I’d agree with.
What’s worrying me, here, though?
Is this.
We in Britain aren’t usually ones for violence.
Oh, we’ve had small scale violent behaviour: for years.
We’re a passionate people: up to and beyond the point of fatalities, at times.
What worries me?
Is this …
Will we get violent enough to start killing … ? To start a violent, mass uprising? One with fatalities?
God, I hope not.
That’s really not a country I want to live in.
