Was absolutely thinking this today. We did it then and we can do it again

In 1978 I was lucky enough to take part in something that helped shove that generation's bunch of thick-as-pig-shit-racist-wankers back in their hole. Might be an idea for today's crop of musicians who give a shit to do something similar against today's Yaxley/Farage scumbags.

Unfortunately, a tabloid newspaper has got hold of a music video I recorded in Islington North with an iconic grime artist I've admired for years. They are planning to publish a heavily edited clip, so I'm releasing the full version myself. Watch here: tinyurl.com/yeymfb96

My overwhelming response towards the failed experiment of my childhood, along with the many other broken utopias I’ve found myself drawn to since, is one of tenderness and melancholy. rlf.org.uk/posts/utopias/

Choosing to believe that Aston Library’s location inside a fire station is a literary homage to Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. Loved my visit there today. Loved speaking to Hisham - from a family of librarians -who is passionate about libraries. Coming soon…@BrumLibraryZine

The UK has never been a member of the EU’s passport free Schengen area. The UK has always had passport controlled travel with France. Both the UK and Ireland secured Schengen opt outs in the Treaty of Amsterdam. ukandeu.ac.uk/the-uk-and-the…

We're part of a very long line of unruly Brummies willing to stand up for what is right for our city. Birmingham needs a revival of civic radicalism. Now is not the time to roll over and beg for scraps from developers and self-interested parties. Be bolder Birmingham.
