[Son of Stopped]

Can't find a copy anywhere!!! I'll try the city tomorrow. Normally you see unsold issues everywhere. How's that for a vote of confidence?

Well he once mis-understood one of my tweets and fired back about how terrible Brexit was.

And I've no idea why I misspelt his name as Shaun!

The fuck? I had to log in since god knows when to register my outrage, but how utterly stupid. The fact you could abstain on a vote that would affect your livelihood as a touring musician is ludicrous to me. Nevermind that the pro-leave campaign was run by a bunch of crooks and liars.

Quite, the referendum wasn't a vote for a "person" it was a vote for what the future of the country would be, it was a vote for us, not for a politician. What a fool.

Who needs the 'boys from Eton' when we have supposedly intelligent people like James around. 'Future or Fucked" well at least now we know what his 6 letter word is.

But even if he voted remain his vote wouldn't have made a dent on the end result.
I'm not holding it against him. And I still feel a thousand suicide bombings in the UK would still have caused less damage than a David Cameron term. That he didn't even finish after starting it.

No one ever holds anything against the band, that's part of being a good manics fan, there's always an excuse.

Its ok to still like the music and admit that someone behaved a twat or worse, separate the art from the artist, but making excuses to justify shit behaviour is just .....unsurprising, it's been done since Richey was acting the creep why would it stop now.

[Porco]

I share the opinion 'he done messed up' but seems to recognise and agree with this himself, that's kind of what he was saying. A bit more context for those who may not have read it:

Bradfield confesses with a pained expression that he didn't vote in the Brexit referendum. "It was the first time in my life that I didn't feel like anyone deserved my vote, which is quite a pious, self-important thing to decide. I admit that was a big mistake. I felt a little bit ashamed. I had this tantrum in my head."

David Cameron would like to have a word with you.
