@XMartinsMusicX Not sure MTH needed the money, I think they'd just had enough without a hit before Bowie gave them Dude's.

@JVMonte2 @MarkCarroll20 Abbey Road but Revolver sits somewhere close to them both.

@historyrock_ @MarkCarroll20 Ok up until 'A Day At The Races' they changed after that, more pop than rock.

I'm on a sun lounger by a pool right now so it's bizarre to learn that I am apparently I'm one of the people being blamed for hundreds of thugs taking to the streets 1,300 miles away in Britain. So here's my response:

Yes, there are genuinely far right racist thugs who are using the Southport stabbings as an excuse for rioting. There are also plenty of louts who just fancy a good summer's night bust-up and an excuse for looting.

But there are also many millions more people - of all races, creeds and classes - who would never dream of throwing a brick or setting a police van on fire but who share SOME (not all) of the concerns of those thugs and louts.

Those millions don't want to "send all immigrants home", they don't care what colour skin someone has or what religion they follow. 

But they DO care about their country, their communities and their nation's culture. They DO care when the political elites import millions of people from very different cultures who fail to integrate and assimilate, or even learn the English language. 

And they DO care when they are told they're racist for stating incontrovertible facts about that mass immigration such as the impact it has had on access to housing, public services, school places, GP appointments and, yes, their own wages. And especially when the elites condemning them keep extolling the joys of multiculturalism while ensuring their own families are protected from those impacts. 

They DO care when they're lumped in with hooligans sporting swastika tattoos simply for voting for Brexit to reassert our national sovereignty and ability to control our borders. And they DO care when the political elites go on to blatantly ignore their concerns and put rocket boosters on immigration levels to record levels.

Most of all, millions of British people care about that fundamental British value of "fair play". They expect everyone to be treated equally - and especially when it comes to law enforcement.

The two-tier treatment of different ethnic and religious communities - and different political causes - by our overly politicised police over the past few years is now so blatant, it's laughable for the media and political elites to continue to try to gaslight an entire nation by denying it. 

So, yes, we should all 100% condemn the violent thugs who go out looking to attack their fellow Brits or anyone they perceive to be an immigrant or the police officers put onto the front line to keep the peace. (As I've done many times on my radio show.)

We should all 100% condemn those who seek to exploit the legitimate concerns of millions of ordinary people to further their bigoted and divisive agendas. (As I've also done many times on my radio show.)

But don't blame the people who've been warning that justifiable fear and anger among millions of ordinary British people about the fast-changing impact of mass immigration could turn Britain into a tinderbox. 

The people first and foremost to blame are the thugs on the streets, of course. But a share of the blame for stirring up these demons must also go to those politicians and commentariat elites who pushed for mass uncontrolled immigration, celebrated differences rather than encouraged integration; who divided people into their religious and ethnic groups rather than promoting unifying British cultural values and beliefs; the people who shouted "racist" and "fascist" at anyone who raised legitimate concerns over the past 20 years, instead of actually tackling the problems that were clearly brewing.

They slowly and deliberately prepared the bonfire over the past 20 years while voters warned them again and again that this would end in tears. 

And now they pretend to be surprised when bad actors come along and strike the match to start the flames burning. 

So they can chase their "likes" on here with their blame games, but it just won't wash anymore. 

Anyway, I'm off for a swim.

@JVMonte2 Neither, Sheer Heart Attack...tbh NOTW was the last album I bought of them, they lost the rock vibe and went all stupid. Of course they subsequently had some good songs but nothing to tempt me to spend my money on them again. Sorry...

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

Wow.

[Bryan Trigg @bryantrigg1]

@JuliaHB1 Should've gone to my school in the 70's 😂😂😂😂

[Bryan Trigg @bryantrigg1]

@alexburghart And the government of which you are my elected representative of is going to do what about it????

[Joey Barton 🇬🇧 @Joey7Barton]

[Bryan Trigg @bryantrigg1]

@westhamtransfer No matter what good he's done it's time for change. We cannot go on like this.

[Bryan Trigg @bryantrigg1]

@WestHam_Central I'll stand on the pitch like him for much less.

@WestHamJoshV What's new!

@kelvmackenzie When you've had a stent fitted for a clot in your heart artery two weeks after the second Astra Zeneca jab was given, i'd bet you'd be hesitant too!

[Arron Banks @Arron_banks]

You got an 80 seat majority pretending to be conservative, Mrs Thatcher won three times actually being a Conservative. Cameron & May couldn’t win majorities as Liberal Democrat’s. I can’t wait for election night 2024, no majority will be big enough !

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

Insanity to swap Suella for Dave: a giant F-you to the Tory right, and bye bye to a whole lot of votes. @RishiSunak appears to have lost it

[Bryan Trigg @bryantrigg1]

@alexburghart You're my mp, be interested to hear your view on Suella sacking, not this trivia.
