Stewart Lee: The thugs have taken my flag. So I’ve taken theirs What do you do with a lot of cheap banners hanging from motorway bridges once you’ve torn them down?

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

Ryan Bridge has become a familiar face in Stirchley lately. He's one of two "company directors" of raisetheflags.org, where he collects donations from £10-£500 for flags.

Lovely day at Ryland Caravan at the Mac in the (very hot) sunshine yesterday. The Tubs, Miki Berenyi, Stuart Murdoch and all the other bands were great.

It's 36 years since I first saw the Pixies (Brighton, Top Rank, 1989). 36 years later they still sound great. The support Big Special were great tonight too.

Went out to see Ferocious Dog in Birmingham tonight. They put on such a good show. Great music and great crowd.

They have. I think it is a really good creative move. But I do love electronica as much as indie / shoegaze etc.

It really was. Two great bands in an intimate venue. Seen a few really good, newish bands there this year already. I am lucky to live just a 20 minute walk from the H&Hs.

Morning! I know you’re busy being festive so let’s keep it brief. As a special Xmas treat we’re giving you a brand new song called “Missiles”! It’s a six minute anti war epic and you’ll be able to see it from 930am on XMAS EVE via our YouTube channel.

Thats it. You made the nice list…

In a crowded field of great gigs, tonight in Birmingham, Meryl Steek was one of the best gigs this year for me. Such great songs delivered with passion.
