I know Handsworth well. I love it. The Soho Road is one of the most vibrant streets in the world. I was attached to the library there for a writing project last year and I wrote a whole chunk about it in my book Hope And Glory. Read it if you get a chance

β€œBeautiful” is indeed the word for that Sharks tune. Not enough reggae tunes with acoustic guitar.

That's the guy who ordered cartoon characters painted over so refugee children didn't feel too welcome, or perhaps to make sure they knew the UK wasn't inhabited by human beings with feelings, only by nazis like him and farage

The insanity continues. The police either don't know what they are doing or are just arresting people as a punitive deterrent.

"Britian loses"

One of the side-effects of the implosion of the Conservative party is how beyond amateurish their entire operation is now.

Even at a senior level the quality and experience of the people working for them is just incredibly low

No idea. But that tune Is one of the toughest UK reggae cuts of all time.

DOUBLETHINK DOES DOUBLETIME STEWART LEE

And he’s back!!

Sunday isn’t Sunday without Stewart Lee. We were so thrilled at @thenerve.news that Stewart came with us.

His satirical columns for the Observer were some of our most-read content: funny, surreal, angry true. Essential weekend reading.

Remembering one of the best, Gloria Grahame, who died on October 5, 1981.

If she was on screen you had to look at her. Not one wasted moment.

This tune was in the reggae charts for the best part of 2 years, if memory serves. Absolutely indestructible. That said, this one is my all time favourite by Deltoy and featured on my first β€œdesert island reggae discs” mix
