A demon says - "which room do you choose?" so the guy says "i'll go with the tea room"
so he's sat there for about ten minutes thinking "this isn't so bad" when a demon shouts out "ok everyone, tea break's over..."

Forget Farage, he's another puppet who wants to play by the one-sided rules. And even if you want to go there, Reform got half as much support from the people as the marxists, 4 million to 9 million votes, but only 5 seats compared to 411. So don't bother with the bullshit. If the British people were really represented in parliament the likes of you would be deported to wherever it is you crawled in from. 4 million of us compared to 9 million of you, that's not in any way a fair fight.

The argument will be that Labour is captured by woke ideology which has cultural Marxism at its roots. When I say the argument will be, it’s not an argument I hold to. One because it’s overly simplistic to ascribe modern social justice theory to Marx because it’s a mixture of loads of different French and American sociological theories. Second there’s a doubt to the extent of which Labour buy into this stuff (or in Starmer’s case spend that much time thinking about it). They’ve rightly in my view retained a ban on puberty blockers and gained a lot of anger from people to their left.
They have in my view been totally irresponsible in returning funding to UNRWA (which even if you take away the questions it has to answer over the extent of its complicity in October 7th, is an organisation that plays into this idea that Palestinians living in Gaza or the West Bank are refugees who are waiting to return home…how the fuck can you be a refugee for eighty years. This kind of thinking prevents any hope of a two state solution just as much as Hamas or the settlers). Then there is the embargo on arms to Israel (which is fortunate that the Israelis don’t rely on us for that, but they could easily decide the pharmaceuticals they export to us - should stop)
In terms of dealing with this thuggery, Labour perhaps hasn’t helped itself by Not taking an equally strong stance against the riots in Harehills a fortnight ago (although Starmer did say the other day Crime is Crime and we make no distinction). But these marches are organised by the far right regardless of whether everyone who attends is or not. Just as the pro Palestinian marches were organised by extremists even if perhaps not everyone who attended was.
There can be an accusation of two tier policing, which I think is far more about police over correcting for their own racist behaviour in the past rather than any overt political bent. And I think this accusation long predates a Labour government that is less than a month old.

The thing is, there are some legitimate concerns around immigration and a failure to integrate into English society. But going round smashing things up and setting things on fire isn’t a way to express those, that’s just being a load of thugs and racist wankers.
I vaguely agree with NQ’s assertion that we are, overall, one of the more tolerant nations when it comes to immigration. But the events in Southport have given a load of racist thugs an excuse to be racist thugs. Which is stupid because this was clearly a kid who isn’t right in the head. Which is nothing to do with his race or religion

Which is nothing to do with his race or religion
The point is the term legitimate concern is doing some very heavy lifting in order to provide a mitigation for violent atavism.
It’s like how people tried to explain away the 2011 riots by going on about inequality, social exclusion and racism (because that cunt Mark Duggan happened to be black).
What is a concern is the growing sectarianism in certain areas, I mentioned it on July 5th when I decried political Islamists getting into parliament. And these scum exploit the racial/religious identitarianism just as much as the reform lot exploit the growing white identitarianism “we are in danger of becoming a minority in our own country”
This is a direct result of both left and right making hay out of exemplifying differences. But It’s not to say mass immigration has played no part, I said last year I felt uncomfortable walking around Whitechapel…not because of the colour of people’s faces but because it felt more like Sylhet than London (especially with the entrance to the station marked in Bengali as well as English).
But legitimate concerns means nothing but glib justification for violence, vandalism and looting in this context
I also think this country is one of the most tolerant and least racist in the world. We also tend not to have much in the way of social unrest either, largely because Britain is culturally attuned to be non-revolutionary.

Yes, I get what point you're making.
We are a pretty tolerant country, as these things go. But I do understand concerns about immigration - I've posted on here how it increasingly feels like we are in the minority in some areas. "We" being white British. Back in the day you'd have immigrants of course - you'd have the Italian kid or the Indian kid or whatever at school. But because there weren't that many they were fairly isolated so just became ingrained in British culture. Now you have round my way a Turkish community, a Greek community and so on. It would be an exaggeration to say they don't mix with others, but it is true that they're less integrated than they used to be and it does cause feelings of being out of place. A bit like how we have basically taken over the Costa del Sol and now it's all Irish Bar and Joe's Caff. I would imagine that pisses off the locals there, I guess they tolerate it because it's good for them economically. But I can understand how the recent incident can spark this sort of unrest. It's obviously bullshit justification for violent thugs to be violent thugs
The big issue is you have people like Farage telling people that it's because of immigrants that you're poor, it's because of immigrants that you can't see a doctor. It's obvious bullshit but they're an easy scapegoat for certain people to use. That all sows the seeds of division and resentment so it doesn't take much of an incident to cause it all to boil over.

30% of the UK is either the child or grandchild of immigrants. So if people are targeting immigration on those grounds (which they appear to be doing with this stabby nut case) that’s going to create huge problems if these halfwits are going to claim that just over two thirds of those living in Britain are actually British.
What you’ve said about concern for areas not feeling like the same areas you grew up in and Integration not being apparent is all legitimate in my view, but it has zero to do with Southport or the subsequent violence…
Integration has always been more my concern more than number (although as you’ve observed greater number contributes to integration taking longer) I think the social justice mindset and this idea of embracing multiculturalism I don’t think helps. It’s not that I expect people abandon their own culture but it shouldn’t be in competition with British values and monocultural enclaves are hugely undesirable
But as I repeat, this violence has as much to do with this as the 2011 riots had to do with the Police killing Mark Duggan. People with legitimate concerns don’t attack police, set fire to civic buildings, loot from shops and commit arson and attempted murder.
HCZ_Reborn

Farage is a grifter no more no less, he will always look for something to latch onto. In 2020 he made an abortive attempt to set up a political movement from being Anti Lockdown but he couldn’t get the traction about it. A year after Brexit he also remarked that immigration wasn’t the key issue for voters anymore. And until the small boats coming here largely spent his time taking money to record personalised messages for people.
Even if Integration had been more successful, and people weren’t minded to come up with conspiratorial explanations for mass migration other than the true reasons, because of low birth rates leading to an ageing population and to create economic growth. In this social media there would always be some grievance to exploit real or imagined. And with all grievances there’s always a grain of truth.
The fact is globalisation isn’t a conspiracy, it’s a natural occurrence of technological development. And whilst the global south is on an upward trajectory in terms of better living conditions on the whole it’s still behind the western world in terms of overall poverty, life chances etc.
Human beings are also naturally itinerant, we didn’t just leave the African savannahs to avoid heat death. The idea that everyone was always just going to stay in the same place is daft. And plenty of Brits migrate to Europe, the Anglosphere and even areas of South East Asia and the Arab gulf for work purposes (not in the same number admittedly)
My argument is that if we don’t want people coming here, we need to a) address the low pay gig economy that prevents the “indigenous” British from taking up certain jobs, and put more money into vocational training so that we aren’t having to import a skilled work force and b) Need to rethink the way we do foreign aid which at the moment allows corrupt dictators to pocket the money and do nothing for the people there
We also need governments to stop speaking out of both sides of their mouth on the issue. The immigration issue was centrered on the small boats and the government did draconian gesture politics with the expensive and ineffective Rwanda scheme. But the vast spite in immigration were people invited here to supplement the work force in the care sector (another side effect from having an ageing population) and bring the money into universities from foreign students

Ah yes the Anti Fascists and Anti Racists who were at pains to tell us that the riots of the last week were all a Zionist conspiracy. And in Finsbury the Anti Fascist campaigner explicitly spoke about driving out the Zionists from the area (which over 90% of British Jews are).
I don’t believe there is two tier policing in the sense that people of different skin colour are police differently. But there’s too often the naive assumption that on the right it’s all hate but on the left it’s all social justice
I’m freedom of speech outside of incitement to violence, and when a guy shouts to a crowd that Zionists should have their throats slit…it’s going to really feed into the rights narrative if he’s not arrested for that

My argument is that these people should not be treated as an antidote to the far right thugs when (and this is far from a single incident) they are openly using antisemitic tropes and advocating for violence against “Zionists”
My contention is that they are cunts just like the far right cunts, even if on the whole they are relatively better behaved cunts
And if the police do not want to cement this two tier policing accusation, they will arrest this cunt
Edit - He has now in fact been Arrested. Good

I don't think there's any real comparison. No-one smashing things up over the last week, having running battles with police, attacking mosques, setting fire to hotels with families and kids in - none of that is people peacefully expressing "legitimate concerns", it was yobs being yobs. And it wasn't a few bad apples, it was what they were there to do.
That bloke in the video is obviously a dick and I agree it's good he's been arrested, but it was clearly a largely peaceful crowd and people are actively commending their behaviour.

I heard the largely peaceful crowd thing about the pro Palestinian demonstrations, my contention is at what point when you see week after week the most horrendous anti Jewish slogans written on placards, hear vile chants all the time (or pretend not to hear them in the case of your selectively deaf friend) and yet you continue to show up at these demonstrations does the benefit of the doubt disappear and the assumption made that you basically either approve of the messages because at the most charitable I can be, you’re too stupid to realise that this is just as bad as racism against blacks or Asians.
If you condemn far right thuggery yet constantly find yourself marching with them I have questions as to the sincerity of your condemnation, why should this be any different
It’s like Corbyn all over again, the gaslighting that took place that he had to be the world’s unluckiest non racist. “Oh he’s sharing a platform with someone who has repeated the blood libel, and with another guy who denied the holocaust?. I can’t believe how unlucky poor Jezza is”
The reason we rightly condemn far right apes, and defend these lot is in my view a form of classism and the subconscious attitude that racism by non white people isn’t as bad, because they’ve had to deal with racism themselves

No I didn’t add it later. There’s no question they are in their behaviour less of a threat to public order and public safety…so in that regard any comparison is apples and oranges
But I don’t think these are good people, and I don’t think they should be celebrated as the antidote to far right thuggery. Simple as that

Please stop calling my mate a liar.
It was a big protest, he saw and heard what he saw and heard. He mentioned at the time some dodgy placards, he didn't hear the chants you mentioned at the time. Which doesn't mean they didn't occur but it was over a big area in central London and I seriously doubt the entire group of people marching were chanting it.

Because the far right thuggery isn't just about marching, it's about violence and disorder and harming people.
Imagine a protest being sparked by a kid stabbing children and the response being to burn down a fucking hotel which has children in, because they're not English children. Holy shit!

No. I'll defend these lot because they are mostly peaceful and actually trying to bring harmony and peace - not all of them, that bloke wasn't doing that and I'm not defending him.
The far right are trying to do the opposite. There are some people who I DO think have legitimate concerns, but they're not out there marching or smashing shit up.

No I said he had selective hearing , it’s not the same thing as calling him a liar. It’s saying you see what you choose to see and hear what you choose to hear. People do figuratively wander around with their eyes closed when it suits them….especially when they are high on their own sense of righteousness.
You can choose to defend who you like, in my view even people with the most repugnant and ignorant views can also be peaceful in their behaviour. You think they are good people? Fine I think you’re naive. I don’t think that impasse is going to be broken
But again you fixate on this idea that I’m saying that they are as bad as the far right lot, in terms of behaviour absolutely not. I’m saying again that in my view these aren’t good people, they’ve been told repeatedly what from the river to the sea means and they still chant it, many of them ignore the vile Islamists in their presence and they shroud it under the pretence of social justice. If they are the antidote to the far right, then this country is fucked in my view

This is nonsense. My mate wasn't oblivious to the dodgy placards. Again, it was a large march spread over a large area. Literally last season there was talk of something happening in the Emirates (someone being booed? I forget the details). People on here said they didn't hear it and implied it didn't happen. It probably did happen, but if it happened the other side of the ground to them they probably didn't hear it. Not because of selective hearing, because of physical distance and the fact it was probably quite isolated.
You think they are good people?
You're talking about a large crowd. Saying "these aren’t good people" is a ridiculous generalisation about a group of people. There's going to be a range of attitudes. I think most of them have good intentions, want to end violence, want to bring harmony. I am not saying they all are, an example has been provided of someone who wasn't. The more violent protests - I'm happy to believe that some of them wanted to peacefully protest but I'd suggest a significantly higher percentage were violent yobs.
You might not think they're as bad as each other but you seem quite scathing about a whole group of people on the left when I'd suggest your ire should only be directed at a minority of them.

Yeah absolutely I have nothing but contempt for them. We are well past the point of giving them the benefit of the doubt, and I’m judging them by the standards they would use to judge the right. When someone attends a march that is even condemned by the local Labour MP when it contains explicit hatred against what it calls Zionists (90% of British Jews identify as Zionist) no I’m not going to describe them as good people because they aren’t.
As I’ve said, this is the same gaslighting that went on when people went on about Corbyn being a decent guy when the evidence to the contrary was constantly there, that there wasn’t a crank world view that he wouldn’t have some connection to as long as it was explicitly Anti-Israel…and again the most charitable I can be is that these people are so self-deluded that they think their world view is a morally good one and are useful idiots for the most malign ideologies and regimes.
I don’t know how many marches of this ilk your mate attends, but yeah I think it’s fair to say that if he’s attended more than one that he’s likely choosing to ignore the available evidence of the type of people who organise the march and the types of people he’s marching with. We delude ourselves collectively into thinking the worst thing about the left is that they might be a bit out there with some of their beliefs, we totally discount that groups like the Socialist Worker party (who are often responsible for organising these so called Anti Fascist demonstrations) are the some of the most vile people in existence…who engaged on industrial level cover up of sexual abuse within their organisation and would support and fund not only just the IRA but were pro Saddam Hussein as well as supportive of regimes like Assad in Syria and Maduro in Venezuela.
It’s called the horseshoe effect. Doesn’t matter if it’s left or right…the more extreme you move away from the centre the more you’re going to be open to conspiracy theory, racial sectarianism and be ok with violence. The left in this country don’t generally become all that violent unless it’s against the far right (I’m good with that, let them kill each other for all I care) but France, Germany and recently in America that’s simply not the case.

Sam Harris who I think is one of the few prominent public intellectuals who hasn’t either gone completely fucking insane or pretending at least to be to appeal to that online demographic, is more charitable than me describing the student protesters in America and the belief systems embraced by the modern left as being in a state of “moral confusion”. I think the time has long since passed where they can be given the excuse of ignorance to fall back on.
But then maybe I’m guilty of failure of imagination of doubting the extent of people’s credulity. They are likely on average better educated than those on the right, that’s not the same as being more intelligent
But yeah I think left wing tribalism and right wing tribalism are cancers on western society that erode clear thinking, and condemns us all to a world where objectivity and consistency are no longer things we even strive for

Just to address one piece of obvious bullshit, the thing about taxi drivers being banned from flying the England flag. The actual truth of that is there was some warning about drivers attaching ANY flag to their car in an unsafe way in case it fell off and caused a hazard. It was actually nothing to do with the England flag specifically but of course that’s how the right wing media spun it and a certain demographic (hello, Wengerbabies) ate it up. What a free thinker…

The creation of Pakistan was a British thing, we redrew the map of the Indian subcontinent and created the partition that led to the creation of Pakistan.
The double standard is that the creation of Pakistan and the creation of Israel share a rather similar history, lots of anger at the proposed dividing lines, lots of intransigence and lots of violence. Yet we don’t get people claiming that Pakistan shouldn’t exist and that the whole area should become India again.
Pakistanis don’t consider themselves refugees in their own land, and the UN doesn’t assist in perpetrating that delusion

Would you feel the same if we were talking about Irish people who even when they were born here identify more as Irish than English?
I don’t like Pakistan especially as a country, its prioritised blasphemy laws over dealing with its shamefully low adult literacy and poverty levels. It harboured Bin Laden for years and too many people there are sympathetic to jihadist terrorism.
But this country is full of different people who have cultural ties to other countries.
As long as they can speak the language, respect our laws and don’t demand we respect their silly religion, I lack the required level of insecurity to be bothered by people celebrating foreign cultural ties.

This coy type of compliant conformism is old. Just look at a map if you can't wrap your head around the very obvious differences. And go and ask an Indian for an opinion, they'll open your eyes PDQ. One of my closest associates is a Pakistani, another is an Irishman, nothing can be judged on an individual basis beyond your own individual relationship. But I have zero illusions about the acceptable (even though we fought wars) Irish community and the entirely unacceptable Pakistani community in general. Don't forget, the Irish community are as brainwashed by their demons and the Pakistani community are brainwashed by theirs. The latter have far more fearsome demons and if only 1% accept the call we have utter carnage. We are also brainwashed by our respective demons. The difference, I have concluded, is if Irish and British demons were revealed we'd reject them. I can't same the same for other demons and reactions. We saw this after 9/11 (even though the Americans did that themselves and it had nothing to do with Muslims, other than the people hired and the banks that financed it).
What I'd really like to see is British people overthrowing their tyrannical government and Irish people overthrowing their tyrannical government and Pakistani people overthrowing their tyrannical government and then all these people going to live in their own lands sans the threat of the one thing that causes all these problems, government. Diversity really is amazing, which is why everybody should go back to where they are culturally comfortable and progress those cultures.

Wouldn't you think thtat was far more appropriate than them building a database on you and me? We're in charge, right? They do what we say?
You believe that just as much as I believe it. But you still need it to be true.
They are very, very bad people and under no circumstances is it valid to endorse or support them.
BECAUSE you. endorse and support them, and because they are very, very bad people (mountains of evidence already provided), and even (if you want) because we are Christians - WE HAVE A DUTY. It is not a choice.
But you abandon that duty and then ask me to shake your hand. How can you expect me to do that? Why would you even suggest it?
Do you think I do the Christian thing because I have a secret bias against Christians that I'm trying to seep into the conversation? Or do you think I do the Christian thing because I'm absolutely fucking serious?

And it's also obvious that if you have one resident from a foreign culture in a street of a hundred native residents it is likely the cultural effect of the foreign family will be close to insignificant. You could say there's a 1% impact at most if the foreign resident is determined not to integrate in any way. Or a zero significance if he starts drinking tea, playing cricket and wearing bowler hats.
Now move 24 natives out and 24 foreigners in. What do the dynamics look like now? How about 50/50? What if you suddenly find that just a handful of these new neighbours spend their day staring at your 12 year old daughter and following her down the street? Or shouting at her because she won't dress the way they demand? What if you wake up one morning and there are strange wails blaring across the street? That would be cultural enrichment I suppose?
You can take each individual as you find them, and that's a decent policy. But it doesn't stop your street being transformed. What do you think happens when you are the last native on that street? What do you think that will mean for your daughter, or your wife? Will you just sit there and wait for it to happen and trust, because of your good behaviour, the sentiment will be returned by this new population and they'll just say, well, in the case of you and your daughter, we'll just forget about the laws our god demands of us - as they pray five times a day to demonstrate that devotion?
Would you say your policy is prudent or risky? Bound for success or doomed to failure? Is it a good idea to even find out?
Not according to the likes of Starmer. Even raising the issue affiliates you with this new far-right. So you don't. You keep your head down and wait out the last days of your culture.

Their "impartial" actions here will embolden one side and aggravate the other, in many cases.

To be fair the police have regularly be seen indulging in many cultural celebrations. Notting Hill probably being the best example. Provocative? I guess it could be seen that way by those who are of the “two tier” belief but this was simply a celebration, not a protest or act of defiance of any kind.

My point is, people are actually being arrested and jailed right now for simply retweeting shit, and some of it is far from hate speech. So there's an iron fist for anyone who protests the multicultural narrative. You'll never EVER see a copper join in with peaceful gatherings that celebrate national identity, such as the entirely peaceful gatherings in London recently. If anything, the coppers try to start problems at those sort of events, using their kettling BS tactics and the like. So when we see them dancing at other cultural celebrations it simply reinforces the blatant and obvious two-tier attitude and approach that you seem to be hinting you don't think is real, despite the overwhelming evidence.

Call me when they take part in celebrations of the native culture, which they will never do.

The war in the Middle East has opened up a new front (well officially) Hezbollah has been targeting Israel with Rockets constantly over the past ten months. And now Israel has decided to start targeting South Lebanon where the strikes are coming from. No doubt the usual people will start decrying Israel for its aggression because it decided it wasn’t going to allow Hezbollah to keep firing rockets unanswered to the point where large parts of Northern Israel lie abandoned.
What this means for the Gazan war who knows, Netanyahu will probably want to conclude things as quickly as possible which whilst it will leave Hamas out of power in the area, will allow it to keep on existing so invariably it can grow back like Japanese knotweed and thus make it so everyone who died on October 7th and subsequently will have died in vain. That revolting human carcinoma Yaryar Sinwar will probably manage to escape with his life (happy to allow Palestinians to die, and directly murder them himself but demands any ceasefire agreement means he won’t have to surrender himself)
For so called peace-niks, I’m afraid this conflict is going nowhere thanks to Iran. An old saying in the Middle East “Iran will fight Israel to the last Arab” (keep in mind Persians are not Arabs)

A lot of younger people are also excited because they’ve followed the brothers solo careers so it’s a great opportunity for them. I’m a bit of an Oasis simp I can’t lie. I think the first two albums are masterpieces and will always evoke feelings from my youth and that era on the whole.
all fair, agreed re the first two albums, hope you get tickets!

apparently they've only announced the first part of the tour just to see if the two of them can actually get along...
Liam needs the money more I should think and as he's the bigger dickhead as you say, maybe that will help him keep a lid on it

I generally don’t think the fallout was ever as big as either claimed. Have they gone through periods of massive flaming rows? Oh definitely….its bad enough being on tour for weeks with a non family member, but brothers will always row and fight. But I think the extent of the rift was performative. Liam is a childish dickhead, Noel is up his own arse….but being famous (especially famous musicians) almost encourages people to become the worst version of themselves because they have people blowing smoke up their arse constantly and therefore they think they are entitled to, what realistically for all their talent they’ve been lucky to achieve

More importantly who gives a fuck what music anyone likes or doesn’t like, it’s totally subjective anyway
Personally whilst I appreciate that their first two albums are considered their best work (preferred what’s the story to definitely maybe) I personally prefer a lot of their slightly later stuff. I really like Standing on the Shoulders of Giants as an album (and the consensus amongst music critics is that this album is average at best)
I remember some dickhead down the pub declaring nothing Led Zepellin did after Led Zepellin IV was worth listening to….yeah in your opinion mate. I couldn’t even be bothered to argued, just did the whole insincere nod

Correct, but they were the UK’s biggest band for 20 years, had 5 consecutive number one albums and 14 singles which got to number 1 or 2, 8 were number ones.
That’s not subjective, that’s just numbers.
Wengerbabies’ trolling continues to be boring and tiresome.
I heard an interesting thing on The Rest is Entertainment podcast. They were talking about…possibly Taylor Swift. She is indisputably one of the biggest acts around right now and 85% of the population, possibly more, could not give a shit about her. I am part of that 85%. Their point was even the biggest acts in the world are only loved by a relatively small percentage of the population

When you call them “One Hit Wonders” you are trolling.
It’s demonstrably untrue.
When you say:

That isn’t a fact, it’s an opinion. But it is something which can be discussed.
They both have an enduring legacy, one could argue that The Spice Girls with all the girl power stuff have had a greater cultural impact. But Oasis are said to be doing 8 gigs at Wembley as part of their reunion tour. I don’t think they’ll have too much problem selling out and I’m not sure The Spice Girls have ever had quite that scale of following. Embarrassingly I did see The Spice Girls back in the day, that was at Wembley Arena. (I was trying to impress someone, didn’t work)

I think regardless of how busy this place is or isn’t. My feeling is towards light touch regulation of posting. If I was making truly personal remarks towards Mac76 based on his actual life or any of his family members then yeah that would qualify as abuse and harassment. I won’t lie, based on our interactions here I don’t especially like the guy, I cannot imagine ever wanting to socialise with someone like that in real life, but anything I say about him is based on observation of his postings. I don’t know him, I never will…he doesn’t know me, he never will.
And I have no doubt in my mind whatsoever that everything I’ve expressed about him is reciprocated or if he’s smarter than I take him to be, he doesn’t care about me at all.
Doxxing, Bot Accounts and what counts as abusive/persistent harassment is what should be targeted. It’s not unknown for me or Mac76 to discuss things sensibly when neither of our egos are in play

Totally agree, even though I think Roger Waters is one of the biggest cunts going (I love that Dave Gilmour’s wife absolutely unloaded on what a complete fuck face he is on Twitter a year or so ago)…I also think Dark Side of the Moon is a truly iconic album….and far better than Water’s maudlin self regarding shite in The Wall and The Final Cut

Yes Waters is a cunt and his Floyd stuff is shite but tbh i think even DSotM, while good, isn't as good as all the praise it gets. As usual it's a case of no-one knowing all the other music beong made around it at the time and just seeing it in isolation, a bit like Sergeant Pepper tbh

My opinion but it’s better than most of the stuff they did under Syd Barrett when they were kind of acid prog rock. I like Meddle as an album but most of the stuff after Dark side of the Moon is self indulgent shite. Shine on you crazy Diamond, an ode to someone who was such a petulant dickhead that he engaged in a forty year strop living with his mum.
In some ways I actually like some of the stuff they did after Walters fucked off, it wasn’t anything special but it was just genuine music not self referential pretentious shit. Learning to Fly for example is just an uncomplicated feel good song

I don’t know how true it is. But when they’ve sampled all those people they interviewed (I think at bbc studio) they also asked Paul and Linda McCartney who happened to be around at the time recording something, the same questions like “are you frightened of dying?” “When you last got into a fight, were you in the right?” But it didn’t make the Final Cut, because they were taking the piss
I always thought the woman who responds “that geezer was cruising for a bruising” was Linda McCartney
