Adam Ant was originally punk rock, never Glam Rock, that was Gary Glitters era.

he wasn't anything other than an extrovert flamboyant type who was a record company project, not a  musician by any  stretch of the imagination,  Same goes for the sex pistols  just 4 idiots manipulated by malcolm mclaren, not musicians at all,

Id class Adam Ant along with the New Romantics like Spandau Ballet ABC and the Human league.

I'd class him as a talentless nutter. Who only enjoyed a bit of undeserved fame because he wore fancy dress and it was the early days of video and he was a novelty  but no musical ability whatsoever. I was no fan of the others you mentioned but they were in a different league than that idiot

I'm quite sure this will put off tourists especially. Vountarily going onto a leaky database of users for something that used to be and may again become illegal hardly sounds wise. Things that at one time weren't much of a problem here (overstay, certain visa types like education, volunteer etc) are now used against people. 

As Chairman Mao campaigned, "Let a hundred flowers blossom”.

It just shows how ridiculous it all is,    Are they expected to believe that millions of tourist have travelled here  and suddenly have a medical need for cannabis, despite coming from a country where it is illegal and theoretically not available lol as if  !!  Nearly as stupid as  so-called doctors prescribing it for asthma .

For gods sake stop the pantomime just leave things as they are , maybe some restrictions about where one can and can't smoke for the idiots but thats about it.

The brothers come from Burnage; a largely council house estate area of South Manchester.  I know the area well and was once lined up for an apprenticeship at the local chain works.

Its a rough and ready sh1thole  I also worked there late, 90's I think ,  building a new Parrs wood school and a hotel on the site of the old one.   About a month before the hotel was finished it was vandalised and burnt to the ground

Check out a BBC News documentary, illegal seller's selling suitcase loads to unlicensed buyers, for export.

Why on earth would I be interested in anything the bbc would  broadcast regarding cannabis ? This  was obviously going to happen and its been going on for a while. what did you expect the growers to do ? burn it ?      Its just one of the many benefits of prohibition as indeed is the smuggling

This should give you a pretty good indication of how the biden haters appear to the rest of us. Pathetic really isn't it?

Are you an idiot ?       There are no "biden haters" he has retired/ been replaced and has become an irrelevance. Why would anybody hate him  In fact ,  there never was any hate for biden    just pity, for a senile old man and frustration for a system  that allowed to him to to be kept in that position 

The thing that has struck me is , why does the need to comply with this GACP standard mean a 300% + increase in price.  Is it just  opportunism,?  I bought some allegedly compliant weed  for 16 bt / gm last week.  If not a bit of price gouging  what exactly have  they been  using during the growing process that made it so cheap,? I doubt it was anything "wholesome".    So the big growers who will be all that remains soon will need a good bit of regulating,  but i reckon they will be churning out the weed equivalent of chang and leo,  there appears to be little chance for smaller "artisan " growers to be able to continue, 

Which, (coincidentally I'm sure) was exactly the same situation small artisan breweries were in up until very recently. 

    I reckon this whole medical b/s is a total distraction, as if any medic would encourage smoking anything to help with insomnia or even better asthma. I suspect once the small growers and dealers have been removed, the "medical" restrictions will eventually fade away and  every one will be smoking  courtesy of Mr Chang or Mr Sing,  home growing will probably be outlawed too,

Really...  Do you really think less dope will stop many tourists...me thinks you use too much dope ..ya dope.

I was wondering if you had any sympathy for those that invested in an "illegal" business   As you have not reminded us for a while?

how can it be racist if its a fact?, your accusations of racism are predictable and inaccurate, i may well be racist but   the only racism I see here  is in those who selected her as a DEI hire

You mean the AI generated image that was designed to trigger guys like you? 

It's astounding how easily manipulated most people are.

I'd be triggered beyond control if I had paid 100's for a ticket and was presented with crap like Vylan or the absolutely awful kneecap, An absolute insult to any real musiclover

Years ago the winners of the jackpot, quite wisely in my opinion never appeared in the media, all that seems to have changed since the advent of social media.. If I won I would tell nobody, not even the mrs

excellent example of a trump hater repeating every off the cuff comment that he makes, and every thing he "hints at"   give it a rest and life will improve, after all you are on the other side of the world for gods sake

That's pretty much always the case in all matters

Glastonbury? ok back in the day  but its run its course and its days are over, a bit like 80 year old rod stewart who was nothing short of embarrassing, some of these musicians really need to call it a day

What put me off glasto was when a few years ago a group of stuffed suits from the construction company I was working for went there "glamping" on a "corporate hospitality " jolly.    

Does anybody remember "The Elephant  fair" it used to be held in St germans Cornwall in the grounds of a large mansion owned by a guy called Lord Elliot  A fraction of the size of glasto but infinitely better, ,  

Noel, although less outspoken and a bit more refined than liam, once famously said that for many people taking drugs was "no different than having a cup of tea" he was right about that too
