Is it true? Did did say this?

"Puberty blockers ARE FUCKED! Big pharma laughing all the way to the bank!"

Oh no! I really liked Franz Ferdinand's first album back in the day.

We have a new #ISTANDWITHROISIN jpg, to paste up everywhere..

The PRAMs would say "mirror signal manouvre, before you step out of your lane, and we're watching you every step of the way to call you out".

@RealityFan

And that reflects on them.

Feel free to share this

This goes out to those who wish to delegitimise motherly concern for their children's welfare..

@Biffology Where is that manifesto of the arts from?

From me.

I wrote it.

@Biffology it's good. If you haven't signed the Sex Matters letter to Rishi Sunak and you want to, you should copy it into the comment you can also leave.

@Biffology You did? It’s excellent.

@Biffology bravo that's excellent. I would sign that.

Just read what Barrow said about Haim...was Tweeting abuse in real time while they were next to each other at the same festival.

I'll take his opinions on anything relevant to women, or anything else, with a large pillar of salt.

Making great art doesn't mean you're a great person.

I knew Barrow was nasty and that confirms it. As for the song, it's Beth Gibbons vocal and lyrics that draw me to quoting it here.

Yes- think you're both onto something with this.
And the 'I can't apologise enough'.

Oh that's great.

'fellow artist Billy Bragg deployed classic witch trial logic: “reasonable? The reaction she got suggests otherwise”'

Witch trial logic 😂

Braggadocio.

I'm still reeling about this admission from him that it's definitely about being seen on the "right" side that matters rather than thinking for yourself: twitter.com/billybragg/status/1698025823033249912?s=20

"You're asking why music writers don't share your views and I'm offering my opinion. They don't want to have to share a byline with Nick Timothy, Richard Littlejohn or Douglas Murray. It's as simple as that."

Came to post.

Loving how this is being allowed to roll on. For me it was key that comments were not turned off.

I hope Roisin is ok.

@CrossPurposes

That's the stupidest tweet he's ever written.

Who the fuck gets to decide?

If Artists like him reserve the right to be political through his work, he needs to recognise the importance of debate and free speech and opinion.

Douglas Murray is way cooler and a much better writer than Billy Bragg.

You wouldn’t think American Pharma have the Opioid crisis to learn from.
