  1. Nigel Farage was all for Christians denying services to gay people though... Guardian
  2. What part of this isn't basic banking facilities being denied aren't you getting?
  3. No, absolutely not. This whole "dossier" thing is absolute nonsense. It's not a dossier it is the result of a Subject Access Request. All the notes are the bank doing their due diligence on a Politically Exposed Person, that they legally have to do. It is a regulatory requirement for them to do that. You will also see that Farage would actually have ceased to be a PEP later this year as he holds no position and is no longer the leader of any party, he's an opinion show host on a news channel. They had already lowered him to the lowest tier of PEP (it states in the "Dossier") He knows this, the bank know this and the government should know this. Farage, as a former investment banker will have known before he made the SAR that they would have had this information on him and how it would play out Not one of those right wing idiots that are defending him as some sort of twisted free speech crusade has mentioned that You literally have members of the current government criticising the bank for doing what the government tells them to do
  4. That wasn't basic personal banking either. That was a business account
  5. Give it time when it's rereleased for the 51 month anniversary of it's release after it hasn't been available from distributors for 3 days
  6. School-age mates of that there BBC presenter Victoria Derbyshire iirc. I seem to remember she was absolutely thrilled when they played Liverpool Uni and she asked me if she could have a shift that allowed her to see the band.She used to bang on about them quite a bit
  7. Good, they'll be able to afford less of the twenty seven million variants of her lastest album
  8. Absolutely nothing, there is a right to basic banking facilities, there is no right to private banking Ironic really considering Farage was all for bakers not baking cakes for gay people Also, there are lots of conservative commentators and politicians who are not making good faith statements and distorting the facts of the matter to meet their agenda
  9. I had to look up who the Mayor of the West Midlands was. Imagine having a regional mayor who the rest of the country actually knew. I'm actually not particularly a fan of Burnham, I think he's done some things wrong during his tenure but talking up his region is his job, how often is Andy Street on national news doing that?
  10. He's not a Manc, born in Liverpool, brought up in Newton-le-Willows (posh St Helens) and supports Liverpool. He's from Merseyside
  11. There's a local chain in Liverpool called The Good Catch and then there's a family that own two shops called Byrnes. Both of these are North liverpool based and are nowhere near me anymore Definitely the two best around here, both are just chip shops, no kebabs and other stuff, fish, chips, pies, sausage etc. Most chippies in Liverpool are Chinese and are mostly shit at Fish and Chips. My local one now isn't Chinese owned but does have a Chinese cook but he does his stuff out the back and the chip shop food is cooked out the front. It's OK probably the best around but its still a notch down from the one's in the north. I tend to judge my chippes by the curry sauce they sell. There are two types and one is far more common than the other, the rarer one is better and more flavoursome. The Good Catch as well as selling very good F&C also sold the right curry sauce. I miss it.
  12. Yes, quite, Birmingham and Liverpool would be f***ed without Welsh water
  13. I think people have signed up and are awaiting developments. People will transition when functionality is increased, most people have just claimed their account for now I think
  14. Indeedly, as long as Probe is still open, my copy is already assured.
  15. Anyway… this will definitely be on my list at the end of he year, playing it quite a lot since I bought it the other week. Afican Head charge - A Trip to Bolgatanga First album for many a year and it’s quite stunning Yet another AMS masterpiece
  16. You obviously bought the mad bastard edition I like the double but the 4 disc version was a bit Richie Wardle for me
  17. Fairly sure same person has put thread on… threads
  18. For me it’s a case of finding stuff by browsing that reflects my mood and I have to separate the reggae / On-U stuff just for ease of finding
  19. Well I have Reggae and Dub On-U Sound (Lee Perry appears in both these sections) I have so much it needs to be separate Soundtrack and Electronic soundscape type stuff Jazz Multi artist Compilations that don’t fit into the above categories All the rest All the records I've bought this year AKA the current regular listens 12” Singles are just A-Z 7” Singles are just A-Z (all singles are in sealed boxes not on shelves as I rarely play then right now) CDs are just A-Z but compilations are sort of sectionalised by genre / type at the end
  20. So a little history lesson on Musk’s obsession with X and why he may be heading in a direction not previously discussed here before. A thread definitely worthy of your time
  21. Grrrrrr, pet peeve Ceremony isn't on On Fire it's the B-side to Blue Thunder (which was a single taken from On Fire) why not put the video up with the correct cover! (not you Chindie) I think it's probably the best cover version of Ceremony apart from the New Order versions (and just ahead of the Radiohead one)
  22. You know he's bought a Columbian bootleg of a Beach Boys album that he already owns 59 copies of because it was produced on vinyl that attempts to look like a hawaiian shirt
  23. If Indie was a genre, it was invented by the major labels in conjunction with the shitehawks at the NME There was no evolution, Indie was an Independent label, whether that be by choice or by means of a stepping stone to a major, there were many genres on an Indie label (there still are) If Indie is a genre then somebody will be able to define it I can define Dub, Ska, Reggae, Space Rock etc you name it and even then there will be crossovers but Indie was just the majors description for any form of Alternative Music Skinny white boys with guitars is not a genre
