Leda Immortelle

Dear old Patricia the gift that keeps on giving You’d think she’d be used to it by now I hear it’s the only gig she can get these days appearing in someone else’s dream I doubt she was even headlining With each reissue of Floodland her cover portrait becomes fainter Soon she will disappear entirely

The Fenton pub still extant just down from Parkinson Building on Woodhouse Lane was centre of anti fascist operations home to The Mekons & Gang of Four Jon King references lesbians battling skinheads in the doorway Early 80s it was the first pub I entered in Leeds & late 90s The Sisters played there

Exit Stage Far Right

Following Andrew’s hometown show Leeds March 2020 I finally carried through on my long held threat to retire from gig going Yes I saw Pete Wylie a few days later a different city & he subsequently blocked me on social media that’s a different story Suffice to say my reasons exceed character count

Seemingly the sole correct answer de facto in Britain 2026 is “In order to be marked out as a social pariah abandoned by society at large & systematically treated like shit”

Rockefeller pseudoscience underwriting fundamentalist eugenics policies popularised by the worst excesses of NSDAP occultism In short the Theory of Biological Determinism NB “Theory” is defined as unproven In nature Theory becomes Law for academic purposes only once proven

Britain 2026 is sleepwalking into Nazi Britannia no different to 1930s Deutschland A significant proportion of the population are clapping it on whilst everybody else looks the other way til they can look away no longer from the barrel of the gun now aimed at them By then it’s too late for everyone

A fabulous album but no Lp deserves the hype it’s received & the consensus opinion presented as fact in the public consciousness It would need to include Eleanor Rigby Strawberry Fields Forever & Penny Lane to be in with a shout of that & then I might concede the point

A lot of so-called punk fans are tail end boomers too & increasingly Reactionary It was only ever cos play with many of them Never had an “alternative” thought in their head then or now Always had more in common with the old school football hooligans Buncha thugs

Lydon has always been a piece of work & it was OK initially when his ire was directed at the correct targets Then we began to see his venom was somewhat more self serving An ego gone out of control What’s left is an ugly vindictive boomer He’s become everything he railed against A REACTIONARY

What’s different now from the era of Southall & Blair Peach is the NF (Nigel Farage initials) & BM although popular were still generally regarded as beyond the pale They were never seriously going to get elected What’s happening now in the history of Britain is unprecedented Fascism gone mainstream
