The british are the most oppressed people in the world? there's some north koreans that would like a word with you, grandpa.

Just fucking smile. Make yourself better in whatever way you can. You don't have to cling on to Crass or Conflict. They were fun for a while, but I realised they offered nothing much a long time ago. About the time Colin and gang tried to make a living from the rave scene. Nothing wrong with that! You move on....

You should have went further Mr. Rimbaud by adding "neurotic" to your conclusion on British life.

Thanks. Crass annoy me cos Punk was ment to be about doing your own thing but they turned it into a gloomy manifesto. Fuck them I'd rather listen to the Teenage Depression by Eddie & Hot Rods (the 1st UK Punk album 1976 FACT)

You have a valid point. That said, I dont think he is talking about himself, but rather the "lower classes". Makes me wonder if he still lives on a commune, or if he's just a regular tax paying citizen (tool) now. I guess there are several angles of looking at things. Theres just no where to go to escape government rule. I guess im just tired of paying the government for nothing. I just got back from the pub, so I'm drunk, and am not too able to articulate.

No I m the cunt that plays the accordion outside John Lewis. Penny talks bollocks why does he still live in the UK if he feels it's so reppressed

Well the british class system does inherently squash the middle i think. Cause since old labour created a level playing field for working class (benifeits and such) it is now the middle classes who get fucked over. The rich hide their money abroad and the working get tax breaks, while you're average family earning 44 grand with both adults working gets money squeezed off of them. This is not perhaps what he is saying but it is a valid point

how do you know they are football hooligans and not fans? is it because of the way they look?it shows that the police have the power to detain you on the way you look.
