Covid-19 Musical
Where to start for 2020?
We had “Getting Brexit Done” supposedly. We had lockdown. We had confusion. We had no PPE, We had the long drive out of bounds without penalty, and the “Tell All (not quite)” session in the Rose Garden. We had opening schools again, or not. We had changes of rules. We had bargain-price peerages. Every one of these is commemorated in song.
You can also buy a CD or USB with more than twenty songs from “I Don;t Beg Pardon”
Music
Dillie Keane , “Fascinating Aida”
“Very witty”
Lord Michael Cashman (no relation), on “Brexit’s a Trick, Not a Treat?”
‘This book is a chance to howl in laughter instead of anger. A laser-like humorous side swipe at the Brexit madness.’
From Sunday Times, 2020
● You’ve had the test, now enjoy the songs. The satirist Mike Cashman, who last week launched a crowdfunding appeal to record his latest work, Brexit’s a Musical Trick, is already thinking about Coronavirus: The Musical. “It might be considered poor taste,” he says, “but songs can lampoon aspects of how it has been handled.” Anybody know a rhyme for nosocomial?
● Not content with his pioneering work in optics, it appears that Dominic Cummings is also catnip to song writers. Mike Cashman, who wrote a musical about Brexit, has penned Stand by Your Dom and The Ballad of Dom and Bojo. Both are available online, as is Song for Dominic Cummings by Fascinating Aida’s Dillie Keane.

ValBoris dreams a dream of Brexit
Who’d have thought Brexit would so inspire the musical theatre world? After Brexit: The Musical and Now That’s What I Call Brexit, another show is on the way. The author Michael Cashman will include the script in a sequel to his book of satirical verses, Brexit’s a Trick Not a Treat?
“The musical begins with ValBoris,” he explains, “who is struggling under a great injustice because all his life he has not been Prime Minister.”
“The best thing to come out of Brexit “
Hugh Grant retweeting the video of “I am the very model of a prejudiced Etonian”

Philosophy
All I have is a voice
To undo the folded lie,
The romantic lie in the brain
Of the sensual man-in-the-street
And the lie of Authority
Whose buildings grope the sky …
“1st September 1939 ” by W. H. Auden
We don’t claim to be politically neutral. We are very keen on the truth, and that has caused us to reject the words of some figures who appear to us to be untrustworthy.
When we take off the “Humour Hat” and consider these issues form a fully serious perspective, we sometimes speak on the YouTube Channel “Britannia Waives the Rules”, and previously blogged on http://www.viewdelta.blogspot.com. Any comments on those pieces belong on those Channels.
Those who voted the opposite way to us include friends and family, who continue to be friends and family. We may have strong views, but we seek to understand their views too. We believe a little humour may help.
