Not for one moment did I believe those bands were Nazis themselves. Just stupid young idiots at the time, flirting with Nazism. Time has proven such. Loved their music though. Not sure that the author is 100% right on everything (heβs very confident) but I note what he says. An important book.
Iβve got this book. Iβve also got some of the records mentioned. Banshees, JD and NO were three of my favourite bands. I ALWAYS criticised punks for having a swastika on display. I found it pathetic, not shocking. Iβve had fights with Nazis in both my home town and London. I have my own stories.
Sounds a good situation to be in.
IF you die?
I tracked it down in 2006. The locals were still unwilling to go near it.
Lovely book.
Very underated.
And all handily by the coast, not inlandβ¦

Corbyn would have done if heβd become PM.
What a load of waffleβ¦
Iβve got a new UK passport. It actually looks BLACK to me.
What exactly does Farage do for this company?
You arenβt 66 like me.
Trying that trick, eh? No need for any editβ¦
Good, if so.
Well, the revised line-up after Howard Devoto left, following the Spiral Scratch EP.
One weapon used by all three. Of course, Mussolini gained power due to ether March on Rome in 1822; Franco, via the Spanish Civil War, and Hitlerβ¦ voted in, through the βdemocraticβ process.

You need to know that John Madinsβ Chamber of Commerce building in Birmingham. with the John Piper artwork, has been boarded up this week.
We really donβt have βdemocracyβ in Britain, do we?
First UK punk band. Earlier in USA. Australian band The Saints ββ(Iβm) Strandedβ released before βNew Roseβ.
Can you point me to the evidence for this? Ta.
Downtown... Uptown Top Ranking...
Depressingly down, currently.
But not what it implies.
Deal, Kent?
HB, Brian. Memories of what once was.
A club which cannot sustain its time at the top for very long. Up & down the divisions - promotion & relegation - umpteen times, certainly since the '60s. Seems to be the nature of this club. Now stuck in a rut, new manager or not.
Itβs comingβ¦
Thank you!
Itβs a very short day.
