yeh that was released in 1976, not the 1960s

it's an advance, for which i thank you, but not as great an advance as was promised

 

[High Voltage]

Ooo Ahhh has been a familiar sound in Somerset for as long as I can remember, so the Wurzels, with Adge Cutler, will almost certainly have used it in other songs prior to this

 

[two sheds]

I drove my tractor through your haystack last night (Ooh ar ooh ar) I threw me pitch fork at your dog to keep quiet (Ooh ar ooh ar) Now somethin's tellin' me, that you'm avoidin' me (Ooh ar ooh ar)

They wrote it several years before it was released, took a while to get the words right.

It’s prominent in “I am a Cider Drinker” but that’s a later song I think.

Sorry for the Twitter link!

We don't deal in almosts

I was thinking it would be nice to see the actual clip of For Britain bottling it but couldn't be arsed digging through far-right videos to find it, luckily someone has captured the relevant clip if anyone fancies it:


Also, bit late now but apparently 12 Rules did an interview while it still looked like this was going ahead, so if anyone wants to listen to a full podcast about a potential far-right demo that ended up not happening, here you go:

 

[BristolEcho]

I headed down later in the afternoon and it was still a bit busy with a soundsystem. I didn't know anyone do left pretty quickly. Was good to see the area around the statue taken over all day.

 

[AmateurAgitator]

Nice . Got this from the Anti-Capitalist Action facebook page -

The SWP were told to Get The Fuck Out from the demo at the former Colston statue in Bristol, and had a flag taken.

Google comrade delta, Fuck the SWP

What's that three finger hand signal all about? Like a backwards scout salute.

They wrote it several years before it was released, took a while to get the words right.

Yep, and it was very magnanimous of them at the time not to drag Melanie Safka through the courts for her despicable plagiarism.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

What's that three finger hand signal all about? Like a backwards scout salute.

Isn’t it like a gang signal thing based on the anti-fascist three arrows?

I’m not really keen on that subcultural stuff, but whatever.

It appears even EDL supporters don't want him back on twitter.

tbh I somehow doubt the "no" votes are coming from EDL supporters.

Same here, that's why I was careful in posting 'it appears...'

Isn’t that the cross of St James?

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Both lucky and unlucky

This was meant for the snooker thread where he fluked the green but then the white went in

 

[DaveCinzano]

This was meant for the snooker thread where he fluked the green but then the white went in

Said with the same ostensible plausibility as that of the guy in A&E explaining to the Junior Dr how exactly the Maglite XL came to be stuck up his poop chute

 

[dessiato]

Isn’t that the cross of St James?

Checking it out it is one version of the sword/cross of St James who is also the patron Saint of Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Spain. Seems an odd choice here.

 

[brogdale]

It’s a protest vote regarding the missing apostrophe; they’re sticklers them grammar nazis.

Not strictly grifter related, but Happy May bank holiday:

 

[PR1Berske]

"M94936425M" ?

 

[cupid_stunt]

"M94936425M" ?

I thought that odd when I was sent the screenshot of their poll going wrong, so I checked on twitter and it was a genuine EDL supporting account.

I didn't even know the EDL was still a thing that existed.

 

[PR1Berske]

They merged (of a kind) with the football hooligan "casual" crowd. Pie and Mash, that sort.

He was also the patron saint of military orders of knights in both Spain and Portugal during the reconquest so I expect it's been appropriated for its anti-Islam associations. Or maybe the EDL is run by Rosicrucians.

While we're here, TR is due back in Telford this Saturday.

 

[rubbershoes]

Oh dear.

Tommy is facing contempt of court proceedings for not turning up at court to be questioned about his finances. Although contempt of court has a quaint ring to it, a judge can send you to prison for it. And when you get out, you still have to do whatever you didn't do in the first place.

Apparently he didn't turn up at court because he was ‘suffering from a number of mental health issues which he says are attributable to harassment by various individuals’.

The judge has set a date for the contempt hearing saying that ‘were he to fail to attend again, that would be an aggravating feature’.
