Almost as ugly as being forced to consider it.

So many particulars. So many questions.
the only thing I can conclude from this thread is that if a grumpy irishman who harboured racist feelings was to set up shop in fucking brixton, brixton then he must be some sort of masochist. Either that or the cold light of day encouraged billy bullshit to come out from his hole and speak for the tuts

My people will talk to your people on Monday.
I'm astounded at Kate Nash. We have a very good mutual friend who is mediating. Hope it blows over.
In the meantime, I'm fucking really upset about a lot of this. Much of it seems to be to get traffic to various sites (and yes, this one to) on a bogus race card.
Hey, we'll tweet about racism and that makes everything alright.
I really fucking despair sometimes.
I feel like I need to be pissed on by Roof Dog in order to be part of the community....

that can be arranged, for a price.

Only a few special people have the privilege of being pissed on, the rest are dribbled on
Just close your eyes, get dribbled on, and imagine that it's the final remnants of an almighty piss that you managed to be a part of.
I just popped over to their blog - evidence hunting - and I ended up feeling a bit sorry for them and a bit guilty about it all. I think the best possible outcome is for the Windmill to be able to carry on what they're doing and the Tuts to be able to as well; with a question mark hanging over both sides regarding future conduct which would exonerate the other party.

yes, contrary to early reports, jesus was a jew
Just the fact that they seem quite young and the full force of the urban shitstorm is pretty intense. Not saying that what they are doing is right, but neither can we be 100% sure that their allegations (regarding racism) is false. And I'd hate to think they were disregarded just because the venue is great and people know the guy. It's like that whole thing with Londons_calling recently that I made a massive noise about. Everyone who knows him vouched that he isn't a racist. And he almost definitely isn't. But his comment is there in black and white for all to see. People say things they wouldn't normally say when they're angry.
I really don't think they realise or care that the damage has already been done, and that they're fucking with people's livelihood's.
Their little music scene will be the ones who suffer most if they're allowed to get away with such malicious, baseless accusations.
They don't know how lucky they are to have venues such as The Windmill to play at.

i don't think they'll be playing at the windmill for some time to come. and i wouldn't be surprised if they found other venues welcoming them with less than open arms.

I think this is a very fair post.
I don't feel sorry for them as they should not be acting the way they have, even if the allegations were true.
But what you have said is fair.

True. Decent people apologise once they calm down too
What's good enough for me is that not a single person in a busy pub (outside of their circle jerk of groupies) heard Seamus say what they accuse him of.
I don't buy for one minute that he would have been allowed to say something like that in front of a Police officer in such a situation and get away with it.
The fact they've chosen not to pursue it through legal routes, and instead just go around libelling people speaks VOLUMES.
But if we're wrong, and we might be, how cuntish does all this make us? There's examples everywhere of people shrugging off racism and the accuser being the one dragged through the mud.
Fair point.
