Amazing! Punks have gone the way of the original Skinheads who back then were not racist, they were mimicking the blacks of the day through love of music dress style and hair style. they were infiltrated by fascists and steered on political agendas to insite racial hatred and division. These so called Punks are what some of us refered to as plastic punks decades ago, no doubt bribed as children by ” Do as you are told and I will give you some pocket money “, ” Do as you are told and you can go out to play “. I am now aware that the owners of Brand New Tube are being sued and that they are counter suing, this is the latest move to try and shut down another platform that allows the truth to be aired, there are disrupters on there with click bait but there are some good links from sensible commenters. Sir Michael Jagger is a joke, he’s as relevant as the Empire his award relates to, he bent over for the Crown, whether that be old currency or private corporation. Green day getting the jab, far cry from their song Holiday. How many musicians are in it for the love of music? very few, they don’t follow their passion unless that passion is money. The film industry has put films out in the past about musicians going to a crossroads to sell their soul to the devil in return for fame and money, seems like these modern punk bands have done just that.

From about 1975 Punk was a scheme by people like Malcolm McClaren to get rich out of the general feeling of alienation from society that a lot of young people felt. Hence, I felt alienated from Punk.

Recently, I got a job. The employer, right after hiring, notified me that I needed to install, on my own, personal phone, a certain app to enable them contact tracing of me and all people employed to limit/stop the spread of COVID-19. That was not my first experience to be required to install a contact tracing app, however. But this time I was prepared. I said, sure, no problem, but I will need your help to install that app. And I produced a… Nokia 6300 phone (not a smartphone). Their reaction was priceless. They did not know how to react, how to treat me. As an idiot, half-wit, moron, etc. Needless to say, no contact tracing app was needed anymore in my case. Of course, you have to be of certain age to be able to play this trick.

Me too, Carmine. I’ve got a basic speech and text ‘phone for emergency use, and I only ever switch it on if I want to use it.
It was on special offer when I bought it for £2.99 a few years ago.
Why would anyone with a home computer need one of these fartsmones anyway?
