Doctor, Doctor....I feel sick!

It has recently been proposed by the government that low paid workers claiming tax credits (a benefit paid to top up their wage to a living one) will lose this for each day they go on strike. Doctors in England take strike action tomorrow, and they won’t be losing a days wages for their actions. Once again it’s good to see that we are all in this together.

On your marks. Get set....

So the London 2012 Olympic Games are going to come in ‘under budget’ Would that be the millions of pounds they are  over budget from the original bid? and not including the millions of pounds for extra security? ???????????????? No I didn’t think so. Fuck the(ir) games. It’s all a load of bullshit! Good for the(ir) economy? Fuck the(ir) economy, this is rip off Britain, where the only real competition is,  which company can make the most money out of the people going to the games. 

VIVE LE ROCK - cd (A Compilation)

Haven’t had much music here recently so I’m gonna put a stop to that with another one of Vive Le Rock magazines free cover mounted CD‘s. This one’s number six, even though the cover is a Public Image Ltd Pastiche, there’s not a PIL track on it?? But what you do get are 14 more tracks of Rock’nRoll, Punk, New Wave and Beyond! Starting off with some not so vintage FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM with a live version from 2008 of Moonchild, Carl McCoy’s growling rasping voice is enough to raise Satan. REBEL CITY RADIO follow with some melodic Rancid style punk rawk, before the legendary DEMENTED ARE GO give us a blast of their mutant psychedelic punk a billy. 
BLOOD ON WHEELS serve up a slice of chugging rock in the vein of Queens of The Stone Age.   MORGELLONS sound like a more up tempo Joy Division, before THE SKINTS provide a nice Dub Reggae break from the guitar onslaught. Veteran rockers THE DOGS return with a riff laden beast of a tune. TEMPLTON PEK have a post punk Echo And The Bunnymen vibe going on amongst their Rage Against The Machine isms. The tastefully named PINK CIGAR’s Next Generation is a punk glam stomper, while THE NO NAME JANES sound like The Clash being fed through a Green Day blender, THE ANGRY AGENDA and CRASHED OUT carry on with the spirit of 80’s Oi and veteran 1977 Southend Punkers THE MACHINES return with a newie Weekend all before Punk Rock Agents THE SHADOW sign things of with a catchy piece of Punk Rawk. Grab It Here! and Smash It Up!!

Gotta, Gotta, Getaway

Hartland Point, North Devon - June 6th 2012

All this Queens Diamond Jubilee bollocks....

…. is really getting on my tits! She’s just a figure head for a sinking ship that no longer rules the waves of a drowning world. She’s only needed for the money she supposedly generates for the countries economy, offset that against how much she costs the nation in taxes, and she’s still a parasite, would we miss having a monarchy? I doubt it, alright she goes on charm offences across the former empires and colonies ‘we‘ once ruled over, and walkabouts in her own country, and that’s it, about time she and her extended family retire and put their feet up and we do away with the whole charade. We don’t need an excuse like the royal family to celebrate being British do we ? Their jubilee celebrations feel like some friendly form of flag waving fascism, where if you say anything against them you are told you are “being un-patriotic.” No! I just don’t belief in celebrating deference to her and the states authority.  Yes! it is one mass distraction from the iceberg they are sailing us towards.
