Lead singer of anarcho-punks Conflict.
A band that were highly formative in my youth.
Probably didn't help me improve my life choices any, but I loved that time. The gigs were real occasions, the banks of tv screens playing footage in the intro, the huge anarchist banners, the energy, passion, the anger. The feeling we could change the world.
Police attacking the gigs, venues not booking them for a while, so word of mouth gigs where you one of the few, us against the world. Strength in togetherness.
Went to one of their gigs in Manchester with another Rangers fan, got their early, the drummer Paco came up. 'How did we get on today?'. Turns out I wasn't the only R in New Cross!
That gig, a few bully boys came and were swatting the vegan anarcho punks, then they got it wrong. I like to think some crusty punks somewhere in Manchester have a high opinion of QPR fans! We were certainly popular on the night!
Oh, for my youth.
See you on the otherside, Colin. |

Just read 'the white ship', about Henry 1, and the succession crisis.
He was a king that brought peace to the realm, after William and Rufus's excesses.
He liked his hunting grounds. Had the feet of some wood gathering peasants he found in one cut off.
Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime.
Feet. God's getaway vehicles. |

I would never bow or kneel to anyone. And I won't shake the hand of someone I don't like, which has led to 'conversations'. |

The one that gets me is Esther rantzen. She knew, but had no one to tell.
Her husband was a high ranking bbc executive. |

Tbh, I totally avoided it. I don't have a problem with the monarchy as I don't like the alternative we'll likely get, and I love our history and that some of it survives through the ages, but I have no interest in what the Windsors are doing. |

I really don't think the general public believe in the divine right of Kings.
Certain dictators of republics seem bo believe in their divine rights, though. |

Would the French opposition form a narrow column and resolutely head for our goal, while we spread out more, much more prepared to use the wings? |

An autonomous players collective, based on anarcho-syndicist principles, with all the players taking it in turns to be the manager for the week, but all the decisions of that manager have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority for set-piece procedures, and a two thirds majority for team selection. |
