That Martin Webster was a horrible git and Bowie and Clapton were somewhat tarnished as well.

Actually preferred the XRay Specs / Polystyrene documentary from yesterday.

Can't understand all the fuss about Poly Styrene - a very short-lived (career-wise) minor player in a huge movement. Two decent singles doesn't make you a rock god.

I'm taking a squint at that later. I plumped for Dave Allen on BBC2.

She was an artist. A woman of color. And her band was completely original. "Two decent singles" shows you weren't paying attention.

Martin Webster and John Tyndall used to phone my house when i was a kid, threatening us because both my parents were active within the ANL, Socialist Workers Party. The NF sent a plastic Grenade in the post.

I was at the battle of Lewisham with my mother and father. My mother took us to a local Cafe while the old man fought the Nazis.

I watched DA too.
Boy how it's dated, never thought how much it would.
Just about raised a titter.

Thanks. It was certainly fun. I can remember a demo being organised in central London against the rise of Fascism in the UK, during the late 70's, and my old man on the phone rowing with somebody high up in Sinn Fein who were having a demo in London on the same day. Sinn Fein wanted The Anti Fascist demo cancelled as they didn't want the focus taken away from their demo.

Another occasion was when my old man was going to do an interview, feature, with Meibion Glyndwr. They had all these terms and conditions like being blind folded, picked up on a dirt track etc. I was only a kid but i recall the old man saying to them. 'I aint got time for all that crap' :hehe:

And last but not least, the old man duping me into dropping him off outside Allan Beshellas house in Maesteg and the old man banging his door and demanding Beshella come out and face him if he thinks that he's a member of the master race (Beshella was a member of the KKK) needless to say, the locals were out as well as the local press. He was an absolute loon :hehe:

Correct.
