John Lennon on mental health and the Beatles reuniting | BBC News

Published

on



On this day in 1980, John Lennon was murdered outside his home in New York City.

Ever since, Beatles fans have speculated about what might have transpired with the band had he lived.

A rediscovered 1975 interview with Lennon from the BBC archive gives some clues.

His untimely death would rob the Beatles of that opportunity in person, but it wasn’t the end of their musical collaboration together.

The final song, Now and Then, was released this year, credited to all four Beatles.

    Clearly, you lot don't know much about John Lennon. He was a wife beater, neglected his son, and had affairs. It's better not to share your erroneous opinions in the future. So as not to embarrass yourselves, so badly again.

    I can imagine that if John had still been alive in 1985 they would have reunited for Live Aid.

    I was taken aback when John said being on his own is somewhat more difficult (paraphrasing) he mentions being "sniped". I'll never forget the tv bulletin that horrible evening, sitting in my living room, when he was 'sniped' and died. Never stop "Imagine".

    Imagine humour from John if asked if the Beatles would Come Together again, he would respond, Get Back…Get Back to where you once belonged!

    LOL Mental health? coming from a government that won't screen all or even most/some commoners.. in what they medically science wise have.. every single human specimen has at least one dsm label/psychiatric "condition"/disorder.. right. .even the best elite minds… even just anxiety.. literally everyone has something that may come and go … be there some years.. not so much.. other years.. the point is all human beings have mental health hygiene … okay so.. next time …. live somewhat properly… make everyone or most people go in… involuntarily or voluntarily.. make people listen to medical science… i get it can be pseudo science/art/politics too.. but the point is.. how is all of this diversity and mess/gongshow allowed? like .. okay .. you all allow anti psychiatry courses to be taught .. over in canada .. by the way.. which i thought was ridiculous .. at u of t… you allow websites … i'm not that important… to change things.. right.. i'm not a politician.. i'm a commoner.. but jesus.. maybe malpractice on people who actually deserve it.. and maybe crack down… lay the law down .. more… so that people actually study what mental health is. People have certain labels.. and NOT other labels. I noticed at least in the english lang. west.. there's only like.. a couple of top sellers.. dsm labels / diagnoses "they" primarily seem gong ho to push. Well jesus.. the average babyboomer woman over here for instance… in canada or states.. has a severe… huge… personality disorder.. like borderline personality disorder or a split personality.. is not mean in an overachiever way.. is not a narcissist in the normal enough.. way.. that would make sense eh.. she's a complete and utter monster and even on the mentally / behaviorually slow spectrum… never once.. being told to get help.. never once being put in her place.. never once being sectioned/sanctioned… never once facing reality really etc. and so on and so forth. Lennon is/was a great… but the keywords mental health pop up… more than anything at a time like this… lol…

    Completely ahead of his time, talking about mental health about 40 years before anyone else. John Lennon… the king of the castle.

    John started out as the typical old school woman beating misogynist macho geezer until Yoko educated him. In a way, Lennon was the first woke male celebrity. A lot of his solo work lyrics sound like a man realizing what an ass he's been and trying to atone for his past self.

    John looked well in 1975. Great fashion sense and in an upbeat mood. He’d have been about 34/35 here, still a young man.

Germany puts Ukrainian on trial accused of blowing up Nord Stream pipelines | BBC News

Published

on



A Ukrainian man has gone on trial in Hamburg accused of blowing up Russia’s Nord Stream gas pipelines to Germany, four years after one of the most dramatic acts of sabotage in modern European history.

Prosecutors say Serhii Kuznetsov played a leading role in a team of saboteurs that destroyed the pipelines, accusing him of a war crime. His defence has called for the case to be dismissed.

The case is highly sensitive in Germany, seen as one of Ukraine’s closest allies since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, seven months before the attacks took place.

Extradited to Germany last year, Kuznetsov denies the charges, as does a second suspect who is fighting extradition from Croatia.

Why did Trump just call for a ‘new president of Ukraine’? | BBC News

Published

on



US President Donald Trump has said he thinks “it’s time for Ukraine to get a new president” as he responded to Volodymyr Zelensky’s criticism of the US diesel deal with Russia.

The Ukrainian president warned a new deal to release millions of tonnes of Russian diesel into the US would provide Moscow with money to continue its war against his nation, calling it a gift to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump told reporters outside the White House on Saturday that Zelensky “wants to make problems for the world” by continuing to authorise attacks on Russian refineries.
