and I mean 'slightly', Margaret Thatcher was a massive fucking racist
not only did she echo Powell's bullshit by claiming Britain would feel 'swamped' by immigrants at the end of the 20th century if then-current immigration persisted, she also leaned on the sus laws as PM to persecute BAME folks

Anyone else spot Paul Heaton's t-shirt which had Phranc written on it but in the style of the Lonsdale logo? Would rather like one of those. If you don't remember Phranc, she was the lesbian Jonathan Richman we didn't know we needed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hybq...

"Now tell me something,
Mister right wing man,
Tell me something.
How long did you really feel,
We would've groveled and squealed,
When so much murder has been concealed,
When we're wounded and can't heal,
When we feel"

Impossible to overstate how much this band meant to me as a young teen
My musical education was along 2 paths—one was the jazz/soul/R&B path, the other was the post-punk/New Wave path—& Carmel showed these could collide
Jazz with punk attitude
What. A. Trio.
