Jet Bronx.
His single was one of the first 'punk' singles to come out in red vinyl. As soon as stocks of the red had gone and only black vinyl was left, it stopped selling.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the Peanut Butter Conspiracy were his favourite band of all time... or else he was in the Ultimate Spinach... something like that anyway.

Love him or hate him, you can't not vote for him!

if humanity could learn to ignore a tiresome exhibitionist, the Boris project would have to rely more on his privilege to maintain momentum. So it wouldn't make any difference.

was looking back on Youtube at that moment when for a second it looked like Ian Lavery was going to twat Boris. There is a decent level of pwnage, but it isn't quite as good as I remembered it!

One vote shows the scientific community is still divided.

I could imagine Gove taking the light entertainment from hell route that Ed Balls has taken, when he is a political non-entity, very soon!

Kind of astonishing that I would sometimes watch Late Review featuring Mark Lawson, Allison Pearson and Michael Gove AND ENJOY IT.

I mean, he wasn't my preferred guest or anything, but STILL.
(Obv. I preferred it when Tony Parsons was on)

I could never stand Allison Pearson tbh, seems I was right not to like her.

people shd take a good look at the national curriculum and realise it won't get better any time soon

Gove vs Parsons is a tough taking sides that i wd vote for Gove in without hesitation

Proud member of the OG8 here, not changing now of course.I have zero respect for Boris, but not sure how he could possibly have done a worse job. Not sure how any living organism on the planet could have done a worse job.
