There's a documentary on Netflix about these pioneers titled "A Band Called Death" I urge all fans of music history to watch. They had the opportunity to sign a major record deal but they wouldn't change their name. Fast forward 10 years and heavy, aggressive nihilistic punk/metal was a multimillion dollar industry.

British wrestling legend Kendo Nagasaki has given Reform UK a resounding "NO."❌
The 84-year-old appears to have cut ties with LDN Wrestling after the promotion's owner and one of its top wrestlers posed for photographs with Reform UK MP Andrew Rosindell. Nagasaki, who became the oldest male wrestler in history when he appeared for LDN last November, made his position clear on his YouTube channel and did not mince his words.
His objection goes beyond a difference of opinion. As an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, Nagasaki argues that introducing what he describes as "ultra-right-wing" politics into wrestling is both inappropriate and harmful - and he is equally clear about who benefits from these arrangements. "When Hulk Hogan got up on the stage with Donald Trump, who got the benefit? Was it Trump or Hogan? It was Trump. And in this case, the person who gets the benefit of being wrapped around that belt with our Jordan is this MP. They [LDN] don't get any benefit from it at all. They [politicians] don't want to be brought into the wrestling business. But they brought the wrestling business into that. He's the one that gets all the benefit."
His assistant Roz went further, detailing Rosindell's voting record before labelling Reform the "Degradation Party."
Nagasaki was clearly inspired by Joan Crawford when he ended the video, sending out a message to LDN: "Don't fuck with me, gentlemen. It's not my first day at the rodeo."

Things that have extended the average lifespan of working people:
Unions
Healthcare (through unions, Medicare and Medicaid)
Universal public education
Labor laws
Environmental regulations
Social Security
If you seek to undermine all of these,what is your underlying objective?
Sure, everyone encourages you to talk about your mental health until you bring up your inner voices that you've given names to.

Drummers! If you sit on your arm long enough, it feels like you’re in Def Leppard.

Fireworks represent Britain better than anything. Aggressive, loud and boring. And you should never go back. And it’s origins came from abroad. And cunts like it.

Maybe tomorrow will be the day Elon Musk chases a mouse into a delicatessen and the mouse tosses a banana skin over its shoulder and Musk slips head first into the bacon slicer and the slices of his dismayed face fall onto the counter with a label that says "Daft Cunt £1.50/lb"

I hope that brick-in-the-balls feller didn't suffer a series of increasingly ridiculous testicular injuries as he staggered off home, such as a very short, myopic boxing champion mistaking his swollen scrotum for a punchbag.

I refuse to watch Muppet Christmas Carol. I do not see myself or my culture represented. Why is the cast mostly Muppets when the VAST majority of British people are humans? We cannot rewrite history by pretending Tiny Tim was a frog. The very worst kind of pandering tokenism.
