In which case you won't reference this.

Didn't he record "Happy talk" in the early eighties?

Mike Reid was Radio 1 breakfast DJ when Captain Sensible released happy talk & was partially responsible for it reaching number one. A lot of the listeners were convinced that Capt. Sensible was actually Mike Reid & took their young children to see him. Not knowing that he often performed naked from the waste down or wore a tutu.


edit to add he got a few compliants from disgruntled parents.

Ukip does deal with far-right, racist Holocaust-denier to save EU funding
Korwin-Mikke has also called for the vote to be taken away from women, has claimed that the difference between rape and consensual sex is “very subtle” and said that Adolf Hitler was “probably not aware that Jews were being exterminated”.

Marine Le Pen, the leader of the Front National, ruled out forming an alliance with the Congress of the New Right after the European elections. “His [Korvin-Mikke’s] remarks, his political views ran contrary to our values,” she said at the time.
In July, he declared in English that the minimum wage should be “destroyed” and said that “four million niggers” lost their jobs in the US as a result of President John F Kennedy signing a bill on the minimum wage in 1961. He went on to claim that 20 million young Europeans were being treated as “negroes” as a result of the minimum wage. He refused to apologise and was fined 10 days of allowances for his comments.

If that was Italian it would be seen a piece of genius wildcat proletarian energy, as workers autonomous technical control of the work process, as laying the basis for a collective class recomposition around the new class figure,the new class subject of...oh you think i should be doing it over there?

cribbins has not only seen how it could be, but how it should be.
and this is all before we even get into the technical prowess displayed in the song.

There was an appalling segment of Newsnight just now where they brought on this punch drunk clown from UKIP called Winston Mackenzie and DJ Nihaal from BBC Radio to have a 'debate' about this song. Car crash telly.
I thought Newsnight was supposed to be serious business.

 

[youngian]

Just when you thought today's antics from UKIP couldn't get any worse.

 

[brogdale]

Newsnight managed to get Winstone McKenzie on to defend Read.....car-crash telly.

You've got to hand it to UKIP, they have a deeply lateral approach to party image etc....can you imagine the answer to any potential political PR "problem ", ever, being...... " I know, get Winston Mckenzie on Newsnight".

Properly off it's head all this at times, Mike Read, Mackenzie " I've got the fox here <points to fox badge on lapel>, , you now what this fox is , it's Nigel Farage,this is the UKIP Fox thats come to ...etc etc "

Croydon North's 2012 UKIP by-election candidate who, in the course of the 2014 European "UKIP carnival" fiasco said "Croydon is unsafe and a dump."

 

[Dogsauce]

Mike Read says it's OK because it's satire. Satirising what exactly?

Winston McKenzie's self-belief is kind of amazing.

"I am proud of the honour, dignity and self-respect that I have earned throughout the years through boxing, politics and the love of my former wife, Cheryl."

 

[Awesome Wells]

Ukip have a badge in the shape of a fox. Priceless.

That's actually really fucked up.

Farage is so desperate to protect his gravy train he's happy to get into bed with a piece of filth like that.

Quelle surprise

Remember this collaboration? Read put music to the words of Sir John Betjeman!
David Essex had a minor hit with one of the tracks, 'Myfanwy' the lyrics would have made Savile blush, the doity fekkers!

Possibly something to do with the detached retinas suffered in his boxing career? We don't really need to laugh at how he looks ffs.

That's the key thing.

Someone on twitter said there wasn't a problem with Mike 'rice and' Read (as I think he's known in Kingston) adopting a Jamaican accent because all the nation's children speak that way anyway.

It isn't necessary, but it's a nice bonus

I thought he said he was a boxing promoter. He was also quite happy to threaten Nihal so I'm not terribly bothered about offending him.
