Green iguanas were imported from Central and South America as pets beginning in the 1960s and 1970s. Some were intentionally released when their owners could not handle their large size, while others escaped captivity. Florida’s warm, subtropical climate allows iguanas to reproduce quickly, with females laying multiple clutches of eggs per year. Today, their population is estimated at hundreds of thousands to over a million, primarily in South and Central Florida.
Well, today, I received a news update in my inbox about Leicester City playing Italian team Fiorentina (which Leicester won 2:0) through an organisation called “Fan Sided” – which featured the Leicester game (remember, Leicester is a Muslim area which supports Palestine) – and after reading the article I signed-up for further Leicester City news. It was when I received the “Confirmation” email that I saw with horror that “Fan Sided” has the following address as its Headquarters:

I was born in Oxford – but my parents moved to Tiverton (in East Devon) in 1970. I started school (Wilcombe) in 1972 (when 5-years old) – but changed to a school in Exeter in 1977. However, I have a memory of joining (after school) a group of classmates who “played” on a WWI Naval Gun situated on a public street (situated in Lime Kiln Road)! I have lived in Sutton (South-West Greater London) for over three-decades today – but recently – whilst picking-up my children from school in Cheam, I saw youths dressed in the uniforms of what is today termed the “Combined Cadet Force”, and the thought of myself once playing on a military gun (around 1977) bubbled-up in my mind (although publicly accessible – the gun in question was placed outside the Tiverton Sea Cadets Training Hall). In fact, after having experienced many interest things in my life (including four wonderful years based in Hereford during the 1980s), and having travelled around the world, I surprised myself with this memory and was not even sure it was real!
Seriously though, When I look back at the perfect days of the late 1970s – the UK was basically a Soviet State managed by not too convincing representatives of the bourgeoisie! NHS Staff were paid fully and received everything a grateful State could provide. Our NHS friends would go on holiday to Cuba and Yugoslavia – two Socialist States with free cradle to the grave healthcare. Tony Blair blanket-bombed Yugoslavia for 78-days in 1998 – simply because its people wanted to stay “Socialist” (the US deliberately bombed the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade as a “warning”). Although I recognise the bravery of the RAF during WWII – I am reticent to visit RAF Museums on the grounds that since WWII – the RAF has been involved in one bombing atrocity after another – including killing our Comrades in Yemen. As an Englishman – I refuse to accept this behaviour from my country. England has a responsibility to bring peace and harmony to the world – emanating from Stone Henge – and not to participate in the destructive underbelly of US anti-intellectualism.
The climate could be made “hotter” or “colder” (the Yanks opted for the latter as being most likely) – with full-force winds, gales, rain-storms, and thunder and lightning becoming the norm (all very “Flash Gordon”)! Such was the paranoia of the US government that the UN in the 1970s passed a series of Resolutions calling upon both sides in the Cold War (as there was no credible evidence the Soviets were doing this) – to NOT develop any “climate-altering” technology or devices – so that the weather could NOT be “weaponised” in anyway! Fast-forward 50-years and what do we see? We see a bourgeois (right-wing) Labour Party authorising the “development” of technology designed to deliberately “alter” the balance of the environment – despite the latest official figures demonstrating that there has been a 2 degree drop in temporature across all of the planet’s oceans. The workers must be kept ignorant – because this makes them easier to control. When workers do comprehend what is going on – then the State will take away their personal freedoms of expression, and place their body in a prison cell – thus containing the understanding they have accrued in their own minds (both individually and collectively) . If I suddenly go missing – you will know why!
The recording and arrangement are of an absolute and impressive quality – but we must avoid the trap of US anti-intellectual, stupidity, and inverse perception of reality. This is a remix of the work of the individual Beatles post-breakup – but with the finished content ascribed to an earlier – “pre-breakup” period – where The Beatles were still performing together. All the “parallel universe” nonsense is simply modern American story-telling. The Beatles were NOT American – But “British”. The British remain unafraid of open spaces and tend not to over-react to unknown or unexpected circumstance. The Beatles would have played with equal authority in this world or the next!
