This is not exactly an alternate history but something that could have happened.
And I was kind of hoping...

Dolores quitting the Cranberries at the same time talk surfaces of the Clash reforming. Coincidence?

So what you're saying is Mensforth Hill is not the kind of hill worth dying on. I'll get 101's coat! Or maybe it is but i just prefer it if others come in and do the dying instead of me! You are our general, aren't you! :lol: Being perfectly honest, I'd probably be more a Captain Darling type than ...

You are our general, aren't you! :lol: Being perfectly honest, I'd probably be more a Captain Darling type than a General Melchett, but either way, it's others who get the bullet or the PTSD ;) Don't worry, I have a cunning plan … Lemme guess, does it involve two pencils and a pair of y fronts? Ber...

Hello, There are many too references I'm not aware of in the previous posts but I thought I'd add something. Previous albums were the result of "okay, keep this - cut that". Sandinista is a picture of everything the Clash was thinking at that point in time (in my thinking) - everything makes the cu...

Sinn Fein never Can you expand on this? A lot of lefties here in the u.s. are or were quite enamored of sinn fein. Jacobin devoted a whole issue to the party at one point in the last few years, iirc. Yeah, sure. I guess if you could view SF purely through an ideological lens, and trust them to deli...

Yup, running the show the way you want is pretty meh; getting your political opponents to also run the show the way you want is monumental. There were a number of problems with Corbin, but he at least wanted to pull Labour away from the gorgon's gaze. I would actually go back a step from Corbyn, to...

I'm not exactly being original or insightful in saying that Reagan's triumph came in the form of Clinton and Thatcher's in Blair. A whole fucking generation later, they still can't quit her. And when Thatcher was once asked what her greatest political achievement was and answered "Tony Blair and Ne...

Jesus fucking Christ. Labour's going to win this election by saying nothing. You don't have to validate evil along the way. Yeah, you'd nearly have to conclude it's not even performative anymore. Like, they really do like her! I'm not exactly being original or insightful in saying that Reagan's tri...

There is no such thing as society. Terrifyingly it would seem there is even no such thing as a dead Margaret Thatcher. https://www.ft.com/content/3c7554cd-b74e-4b24-8701-dc5a16134153 Jesus fucking Christ.

It was like a goddamned Buddhist chant back then, "the magic of the marketplace, the magic of the marketplace." And then when the magic was proven to just be a con man's trick, well, gosh, shucks, whaddayagonnado? Certainly can't go back to the government taking care of these common needs because o...
