If we lived in true meritocracy everyone in Reform would struggle to find any paid work at all. Braverman would be lucky to get a job sweeping the streets.

'On Dad, Andy Kerr's voice is a panicked sneer. It’s a psychiatrist’s notebook set to a slam-pit pace, moving the punk needle away from the vague ‘system’ and toward the cluttered, private violence of the living room.'

Went for an Indian and had a few pints of stout afterwards last night. Hadn't had this combo before but I have literally shat myself thin today. Winning.

She omitted the word “national” when she said socialist.

Jim Ratcliffe should pay his taxes like the rest of us or shut up.

What does this even mean?

Replacing rhythm with jism is also a rich comedy seam to mine.

I think we’ve all had enough of so-called political geniuses. Good riddance McSweeny.

This is so true. My area is flag shagger central and yet none of them are proud enough to get rid of all the dog shit on the streets.

Me too! It’s the only grindcore that counts in my view.

why this storm kinda… 🫦

If Badenoch had any sense she would get offline and pivot to centre. Sadly, reader, she has no sense.

The only reason I was continuing my membership at this stage was to vote for Burnham to be leader. They can shove it now.

Conflicted by this. Any measures to counteract social media must include the population at large. Banning the young but allowing the ongoing radicalisation of everyone else doesn’t seem like a well thought out solution.

I can see that. Even their insignia has look about it. I used to have a jacket with it on there and used to worry whether people would think I was that way inclined.

You’re not alone. I’d probably like it but can’t be arsed.

Perhaps Starmer’s team should focus on preventing one of Farage’s clowns from winning that seat instead of throwing everything at Andy Burnham. Just a thought.

Would love to read more about it but, sadly, it’s paywalled and I’m not giving the Spectator any of my money!

Interesting but I would posit only punk at the more commercial end dabbled in this imagery. That was more about shock rather than a genuine political message. The better underground stuff / hardcore was firmly at the leftist and anarchist end of the spectrum.

Oh fantastic. Thanks for this. Laughed out loud at the book. You even made me take another look at Judas Priest, which I am so glad I did.

Don’t lump with Xers in with the boomers. Yes things aren’t as bad for us but we still got screwed by the generation above us.

Shocked that the Reform supporters don’t want a by-election. Old white men poisoned by the media environment. Hats off to the guy in the Black Flag t-shirt though.

Honest Bob strikes again. On some level I prefer the proper headbangers,vat least they are true believers. This chump will say and do anything if he thinks it will serve to his advantage. A despicable little man.

Jenrick is such a snake. I am going to enjoy watching him a Farage fall out with each other.

No venue beats the Lakeside. The standard of the darts may not have been PDC level but the atmosphere and venue was leagues ahead. No stupid adverts either.

Not a great fan of his music but Chris Rea was a hero in Whipple Warrior circles. RIP.

The only place I can find this is in Booths in Lytham. I always stock up when I go up there.

Could also be the name of an album by The Fall.

Try living there. Flags and arseholes all the way.
