World Kindness Day may have passed you by. But it won't have passed by your children, whose school will have been sure to teach that climate action and open borders are essential elements of 'kindness', says Steven Tucker.

What Happened When Extinction Rebellion Had a Taste of its Own Medicine Fri Nov 21, 2025 17:00 | Anonymous
Read what happened when an Extinction Rebellion meeting was disrupted by a protester. Seems they can give it out but have no intention of putting up with it themselves.

Are the Grooming Gangs a Muslim Phenomenon? Fri Nov 21, 2025 15:00 | Mark Durie
First they were 'Asian' grooming gangs, then 'Pakistani'. But the most important thing to grasp is that almost all of them ? 87% of convictions ? are Muslim, says Mark Durie. This must not be covered up.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3When i was a schoolgirl the first ever gig i went to was Bad manners who played in the Ulster hall in the 1980s. In those days skin heads were divided into 2 camps, the mainly catholic ANF/anti nazi league skinz and the nazi skinz. which included the likes of Johnny Adair.
The Nazi skinz including Johnny Adair were on the ground floor on the ulster hall seig heilling up at the catholic skinz, who in turn would spit down on them and throw bottles etc at them.
I eventually got into punk for a while where i encountered Johnny adair again, who was tolerated by the middle class/rich/upper working class punk scene, mainly because the punks were all middle class, most could afford to buy leather jackets and expensive punk gear and also wimps who were all afraid of Adair. Stalag 17, The outcasts, would all play alongside Johnny Adairs NF offensive weapon skin band, something they didn't mention in spit.
I drifted away from the punk scene after this preferring, the simple, friendly, accepting down to earth company of the ANF Newington skinz and rude girls and boys, who were my real friends and weren't racist.
What's this all about?How did they manage to shut down these sites and have The Beat already played, if so in what venue? Can someone explain this all a bit better?
Bad Manners? You're obviously the brains of the Norn Iron Rude Girl Brigade (and in your 40's). No improvement in the level of sophistication when it comes to political analysis I see, with old age,
And oh, yeah, Staples is hardly the person to be extolling harmony:
"The alleged occurrence began at 3:40 p.m. on Wednesday, when Graves, also a production-crew staffer for the Metro, told members of the Specials where to put their equipment for the evening's show, according to Chicago police spokesman Patrick Camden."
"Staples took exception to that, and an argument ensued," Camden said. Staples, 42, then allegedly raised a bar stool and swung it at Graves, 29, striking him and cutting his head. The Specials singer also grabbed Graves by the throat, according to the police report.
