Starmer : "Kneecap should not be allowed to appear at Glastonbury on the Pyramid stage, Weds 14th July at 9pm. I urge you not to buy tickets, or enjoy the backup groups like New NWA who will be performing "F*ck the Police" with Kelly Clarkson as guest singer. Tickets are available online at www.glasto.com/kneecap at £145 for adults, make sure you have your credit card ready because these tickets are hot and going fast, which as the squarest man in Britain I disapprove of. Free Mo Chara t-shirts will be available at the concession stands, if you want to defy me and therefore your father who is probably something in the media or banking"
H.O.O.D. is Kneecap's signature track and it's very funny if you read the lyrics (there are translations on line). It pours scorn on a Republican wannabe picking after-pub fights to use the RUC as a Friday night taxi. Sample lyrics:
"Fucked in to the back of the jeep, he falls asleep
He does it every week
Tiocfaidh ár lá, get the Brits out lad!
A one way ticket please I’ve lost my bus pass"
And, later, in the off-licence
"Who’s next, me miss, son would you like a bag?
For your shopping, not your nose, I see your ankle tag".
But, if you don't like rave-rap, they have a lot of other styles.
Anthony, no one enjoyed them more than I did. It was my therapy, James my therapist through lockdown and all for free. You'd be surprised by how many people still say what you have said to me.,
Judge : "You say music was playing in the store where the alleged offence took place, what was the music in question ?"
Barrister "I think the name might have been Mr Snoop Dog, m'lud"
Judge : "Ah yes! I'm very fond of Charlie Brown and his pet"
I enjoyed that article.
The touch of sarcasm was joyful.
I couldn't write that kind of article, I perfer fiction.
You know the kind where the president of a powerful nation kowtows to minorities, troll musicians and doesn't listen to the will of the people.
“Even if he is found guilty of the offence, it is very unlikely he will be given a custodial sentence given he is of previous good character.”
Out of date, Laura. You need to add the words “and has the right political views”. Ask Lucy Connolly, of previously impeccable character.
I find almost any aspect of the US of A difficult to take seriously.
As for the Glasto types, brat-on.
The collective will behave badly, they will leave tons of rubbish and do lots of silly things.
Only some of that is down to youth.
This is just pro-wrestling :

Stop that. Very good.
Yes, absolutely right. Starmer makes it four nincompoops, although he's the biggest by far as they seem very PR savvy.
Incidentally I rather like their noise...but can't hear the words.

Oh dear Laura You are supporting a bad hate filled bunch of nutters. Stammer is right dead right
One of my favourite pieces of music, just automatically brings tears to my eyes.
What a mental and moral nonentity is Starmer.
Sorry to go off-topic here, Laura, but, as I thoroughly enjoyed your chin-wags with J.D. I was wondering if you'd care to comment on them.
