And why the fuck are we arguing about 80s music on a thread about Britain Furst?

Ah right - 18 months ago Malatesa mentioned "shit music" being a feature of the 80s and it went from there.

Britian Furst, shurely.

Well - no. Through much of the 60s, the late 70s-early 80s, and much of the 90s there was a lot of good and influential music breaking through amongst the usual mainstream pop. This was far less the case from 82ish to 89. Most of the significant alternative artists from the period - smiths, pixies, emerging hip hop artists, REM, Husker Du, Sonic Youth, Violent Femmes, My Bloody Valentine - rarely, if ever, troubled the top ten - and you would rarely hear them on the radio or TV outside of john peel.

I always see the brief period post punk from about 78 till 82 as a bit of an anomaly as good stuff did get through occasionally even though I was, as a kid, still mostly frustrated by the stuff I liked getting nowhere at all. I used to look back at charts from 70s and 60s and in my view at least it really was full of utter dross. And after 1982 I gave up listening to the charts altogether.

Britain First stage hilariously pathetic protest outside a London mosque

Only a handful of far-right protesters have turned up to stage a “hapless” demonstration outside one of London’s largest mosques.

Fewer than 10 members of Britain First - including deputy leader Jayda Franken - showed up to picket the East London Mosque in Whitechapel...

She claimed it was “[her] duty as a Christian to save fallen souls from the damned”.
Chris Morris couldn't have ever written a line that good.

They look like they should be on Jeremy Kyle or something. They have that look about them.

What w/c people about to be mocked by a privately educated posh boy? That kind of "look"?

no, the kind of violent thick as shit look. Nothing to do with w/c.

Ok, cool.

Counter-productive classism?

 

[seventh bullet]

no, the kind of violent thick as shit look. Nothing to do with w/c.

There will probably be some socialists with that 'look' but would you recognise them?

Probably not.

If that makes me a 'dick' then I'll carry on being so.

Check out this massive faux pas by Jayda Fransen.

It begins with this



Then the people of Twitter line up to take the piss.




Unable to cope with the volume of piss-taking Tweets, she flounces.


But 18 hours later and her account is still active. What a bullshitter.

I'm beginning to think that biffers might not be all that bright!

She can't have been that oblivious, surely? She must have known who Malcolm X was? I mean, I'm not expecting her to have any in-depth knowledge or have actually read anything, but given the rhetoric of her politics his very existence must have come up at some point...?

You might be on to something there.

Maybe she meant "in proximity to". Not necessarily adjacent, more opposite...

I think she's hoping for her own chatshow on Channel 5.

I don't think she's capable of making those kinds of connections. She's a postmodernist, so only the sign itself matters.
