Socialist vinyl collecting I put art on a wall, I play records

No Bob, the Tories aren’t to blame at all.

Quoting yourself is bad form generally but…. this has been on heavy rotation for the last two weeks (much like its predecessor was at the time). It is a seriously good album

Studio One Dub Fire Special is filed wrong, should be with the orange stuff to the left

Lozells and Newtown are typically Villa areas, they are right by the ground. Neither are what one might call affluent and both will have an element of drug related gangs

You can stop all the animosity now before you’ve begun. It’s a very emotive subject and slinging insults at each other isn’t going to help.

The right sort of skinheads though. There are two varieties of Skinheads, Nazi Skinheads and proper Skinheads. Given that Coventry was the home of 2Tone and the proper Skinhead revival, the Skins in Cov were by and large the anti-racist sort that followed the Specials and the Selecter and generally had a love of Jamaican Ska.

I've just got to my IVR logs from Saturday night, there were an awful lot of people in pubs on County Road when it was all going off But so far my favourite tale from the weekend is the owner of a hair salon on County Road, who'd had a few drinks and heard about the riot. She rang us for a cab because she wanted to remove stock and equipment from the shop. We quite obviously refused telling her cars weren't allowed near.... so she got in her own car and drove there... only to be arrested for drink driving She wants us to provide a letter to say we wouldn't send cabs to county road (on the advice of her solicitor) so she wont get a driving ban.... Sack your solicitor

Problem being, the mess will be around much longer. Liverpool was cleaned up by the morning after by volunteers and council workmen The arrests didn't start until Sunday afternoon

None of the riots were the responsibility of the Met were they?

The answer is usually Russia when you dig into it

Also... I really don't think it was the question that put Rowley in that mood.

Is there a good light to paint racist riots in? But FWIW it wasn't moderation that changed the title

Oh he's getting multiple convictions. Lush, O2, Greggs and at least 2 other shops. There are many images of him in a good number of different shops He's also got previous convictions for having knives (which he handed in) because he was threatening to kill Europeans. He was meant to be getting help for his violent tendencies as part of his conviction. He's from Hull iirc He's going away for a very long time.

Theft... criminal damage...

DO you have a piece of paper in your hand?

Why? It's chock full of Russians who they don't kick out and he's an EU citizen so can't

His name is Yaxley-Lennon and he's an Irish citizen with an arrest warrant out for him for non-attendance at court. He is as we know now, in Cyprus, which has no extradition treaty with the UK

"Why hasn't COBRA been called" said every other Tory under the sun yesterday morning

Fairly sure he held not one but two press conferences over the weekend.

Yet more ridiculous Tory talking points. COBRA meetings that Johnson never even used to go to.
