The Tuts make dubious allegations after Brixton Windmill gig

They seem quite pleased with themselves that all this has generated extra hits on their youtube video.

Can you see where the Tuts self-proclaimed "we're violent" stuff has gone?

The Tuts are claiming they've not deleted their posts about being violent, but I can't find them anywhere now.

Does "not untrue" mean "true"?

Or does it mean unknown?

Just go with 'vague' and nobody able to confirm apart from the person chucked out.

Pickman's had a reasonable point in that anyone willing to be openly racist (in front of the police who did nothing about it) is unlikely to have been running a busy Brixton pub for this long.

Funny, that. I can't find them anymore either.
 
Ah, I thought that the sexist bleats only properly started once Drew posted the imperious tweets of three rads.

Nah, a couple of the fan club who signed up here also went straight into the "sexist" bit on their tweets before coming here, and the drew incident was a sidebar. Apparently, he was sexist for posting up someone's tweet, even though twitter is public (unless you set it otherwise). :)

Don't remember that one, but I definitely saw "why does trouble always follow The Tuts around?" yesterday, and it's gone now. There was one from a few months ago about a crazy gig involving an audience member *biting* one of them (which they seemed quite pleased about) and another one "flashing her gash" (sic).
 
You're not mistaken. Wish I'd taken screenshots now.



eta. it's possible you and I imagined those posts, but I don't think so. I'm somewhat pissed off that some young women think feminism entails getting boozed up and violent like some sort of caricature of maleness :(

And then, when adverse consequences rear their ugly head, blaming it only on sexism, rather than factoring in stupidity as well.

I didn't look at twitter before they started posting here :)

So basically they're attempting to re-write history?
Hilarious! Not a sensible thing to try on the net, either. There's always some weirdo who'll have screen-shotted the offending material, or otherwise captured it. :D
 
I am actually feeling a bit sorry for the band now. They're young and clearly let their rage get the better of them, but I think they need to apologise for the way they did their best to trash the reputation of one of London's best loved music venues over an incident which they were (at the very least) partly responsible for.

Me neither. I'm just going by what got uncovered during the thread. I don't do twitter, mostly 'cos I have far too many delusions of grandeur to condense my thoughts to a mere 140 characters!

Conversely, they may have just thought "fuck, we can ride this one for publicity! whey-hey!!!".
If that was the case, it's certainly biting them on the arse now.
 
TBF, they're probably lucky the sisterhood is into solidarity, or I reckon they'd be getting more of a pasting from feminists for trying to make this a gender issue rather than an "idiot with a sense of entitlement acting like an idiot" issue.

Yeah. Also that the reference to the film was so incredibly stupid that it obscures the fact that what they were trying to do was compare rape to someone getting chucked out of a pub, on supposedly 'feminist' grounds.

I heard about this before this thread and looked at twitter, and the top tweets were from simsimsim in her twitter identity telling everyone to search for Brixton Windmill, but she seemed to be really taken aback that not just Tutettes could see her tweets.
 
(quoting the Tuts Facebook page)

"Nadia laid down some truths about sexism in the live music scene - and promoters better know we're on to them. e.g. putting on a rising band like the tuts who have 559 fans on facebook, beloved by Kate Nash, thousands of views on their video, putting THEM in a support slot for some boyband with just over 100 facebook fans is fucking telling (no offence to said boyband, you may be very good)"
Quote of the day!

I'm not in the least sorry for them.

I don't care about them either way. What is annoying is the spin being put on it by a lot of people on Twitter etc. Like everyone was there and is horrified at the venue/landlord.

Have seen journalists and similar just retweeting links with RACISM / WINDMILL / ASSUALT in the tweet.

Sweet, isn't it, the lack of savvy about how secure your communications are or aren't, that some users have? :D

Maybe you should tweet them back and tell them to read this thread?

Yeah. I tried to ignore that angle because it was so massively off-piste as to be ridiculous, and just roll with the "you shouldn't judge people based on their reputation" schtick.
