WHY GLASTONBURY WORKS. AND GREAT BRITAIN DOESN'T.

Well it’s all been a bit surreal of late hasn’t it? I usually quite like surreal, if it’s Vic n’ Bob or a David Lynch production but this whole EU/Brexit thing is not good. I’ve been rolling around in mud at Glastonbury for ten days, so I registered my vote before...
