Foxie's Rant Box

Yea, ok, it’s usually always the same……..mostly….

First - an announcement from our sponsors - us - our latest album “The Rules of Division” is just ace. Go buy it, we need to repay the loans.

Happy New Year.

This is my first rant of 2019. This year is going to be momentous.

A few things are happening, apart from us playing gigs. Some of said gigs may be cancelled, those foreign ones we’ve lined up in Germany & France. Those cancellations will happen if we either have a no Brexit deal, or a shite Tory one. Yes folks, you may not know it, and may think that you know what you voted for.

I asked 10 Brexiteers and they told me they knew. But “not that” they said, ahhh, plus 10 different answers on the 10 other things I asked. I’m not even going to go anywhere near the lies on immigration when 2/3 of UK immigration is nothing to do with the EU, or we’ve agreed 98% of the laws. Sovereignty my ass. 3 million people here being treated like shit, and 1.5 million Brits in the EU wondering if they have to come home. Brexit kills culture. Woody Guthrie’s guitar killed fascists. I know which one I prefer.

Still, we’re in a state of flux and seeing if this sorry state of shite ‘running’ the country are any more capable of making a bigger screw up of things than they already have. I want a general election, and a Labour Govt. An extension of A50 so the country can sort itself out, and some kind of public inquiry into how we got into this whole mess called Brexit, and the criminality involved, to see if we can reconcile the massive divisions we have as a country. Labour, if elected, can re-try a negotiation and if that fails to deliver on the 6 tests, then a PV.

Sadly, a PV now won’t solve sod all if it just leaves the Tories in power. Remember, 47 of the poorest 50 constituencies voted Leave. That is NOT a coincidence. That’s what the Tories created with their austerity, Universal Credit, Bedroom tax, wage stagnation and low employment rights economy. That’s UK policy not EU policy. Although scrapping the Commission and giving MEP’s law making powers whilst scrapping the state aid and pro privatisation elements of the single market will start to redress the power balance. Remain. Reform. Anything else will not solve the economic imbalance or wealth equality we have. It starts by getting rid of the Tories. Nothing else will do. Nothing else matters more right now. Brexit is shite, but the Tories are worse. The poorest are already poor, and cannot imagine it getting worse when may already live in bins. They don’t care about the middle class protesting Brexit because since 2010 they allowed the Tories & LibDems to kill disabled people and make others reliant on foodbanks. Read some fukin’ Marx.

Meanwhile, we are working on news songs I am writing for a follow up to “The Rules Of Division”. Keep them peeled and despite all, have a happy new year. We are in for a bumpy ride. The storm is coming.

That’s my rant. End of.
