Please speak up, Mick...

Post by MarkyJacobs »

Just watched the appalling party politcal broadcast in which Boris Johnson (desperately trying to show himself to be the 'ordinary guy') declares his love for The Clash. How dare he?

Please speak up and tell him he needs to fuck off, Mick. (Weller did this with Cameron, I seem to remember.)

(If Mick doesn't come here, will Teddy please pass the message on?)

I would imagine Mick is the type to believe in freedom of choice. You can't really tell people what they should and shouldn't like, as much as it appalls me to hear he is a fan.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Freedom of choice? Ha fucking ha!

Mick lives in west London. He needs to tell the murdering bastards to fuck off.

Would this not be a form of facism?

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.

Whereas, Mick would just be telling the murdering bastards to fuck off. (Or a least making it clear that love: (a) is not reciprocated; and (b) seems very misguided?

So not really much like telling Boris Johnson to fuck off at all?

Mick is a very strong supporter of Labour. He is very invested in the defeat of (the unelected) Boris Johnson and the Tories, and has commented before about Boris’s claim of Clash love. He doubts that Boris even knows any specific Clash music. He has also lamented that Boris is smart and an effective candidate, but is still hopeful about the coming election bringing him defeat.
