    Berlin has a mayoral election next week, Müller is only doing what he thinks might help keep him his job.

  • John says:

    Does London need a Bowie memorial?

    • Frederick West says:

      Not really. Following all the griefjacking after his death I’m surprised that there aren’t plaques everywhere. ‘The soundtrack to my life’ – that sort of thing, everyone said it even though half of them weren’t even old enough.
