Da ya think I’m fashy?

Via Billy Bragg’s Bluesky:

Whoops. Someone let their inner Morrissey out, didn’t they, Roderick?Indeed, according to someone else responding to the above, this isn’t a new thing…

International Times issue 94, December 17 1970. If Eric Clapton ever sees that, he’ll probably wish he’d said his own piece about Enoch Powell in the underground press where apparently nobody paid much attention to it rather than on stage… though people do seem to have picked up on it since then, from what I can see online, but this is the first I’ve discovered it, it doesn’t seem to be as well known as Clapton’s incident. The whole interview, such as it is, can be found at the IT archive; a slightly curious time capsule in which violence comes up a lot and Rod reckons his own career won’t last much longer, and the Enoch Powell bit is the only part highlighted thus. I assume someone at IT really wanted that to be noticeable… I suppose Rod still gets points for his support of Gaza and Ukraine, but if he thinks Cuntface Farrago would be anything even approximating an improvement to the admittedly kind of awful Starmer Labour, he’s fooling himself, obviously.
