I’ve just driven home to the terrific and joyous sounds of The Very Best album, The Warm Heart of Africa. I suspect the guys wouldn’t feature highly on Nick Griffin’s ipod, because although they were formed in East London they probably don’t meet his indigenous test. They consist of three guys from Malawi, France and Sweden, but it sounds like a whole host of other voices on board. It’s a stunning record and you can take a listen for nothing on Spotify before you rush out to buy or download it. Here’s a taster…

Sorry to go off thread
Labour leader of Sandwell Council resigns after theft charge!
Say it ain’t so
Innocent until proven guilty, comrade. As I understand it he has stood down in order to devote his time towards refuting the charges.
Isn’t that Jonathan Aitken said?
Yes… but in his case a jury said he was lying.
You seem to have taken a slightly different approach to the presumption of innocence here http://www.bobpiper.co.uk/2009/07/something_in_the_wolverhampton.php, here http://www.bobpiper.co.uk/2008/04/karren_brady_held_by_the_fuzz.php and here http://www.bobpiper.co.uk/2008/01/tory_mp_arrested_in_child_abus.php
I truly, truly hope it ain’t so Jay. I also hope our local paper deploys a little fairness in it’s coverage of the Gentleman’s legal issues and the council. He’s worked his arse off for the area. I hope it ain’t so…
Mike, I don’t think I have ever said any of those were guilty. Aitken or Archer, yes… but they were.
Listened on spotify it is good stuff. Have you seen the post on The Stirrer Forum from Denise, Cassette Boy etc. Excellent he couldn’t have put it better himself.Come on you wolves
I lasted 1 minute 38 seconds. I thought the number of children involved was appropriate given that it was childish ‘music’. Simple rhythms for simple minds, perhaps. Still, whatever gets you off, Councillor.
By the way, I glimpsed in Paul Waugh’s blog today that Sandwell has a high BNP contingent. Is that so? Are any of them on the council and if so how do you cope? Not making any points, just curious.
To be truthful, duffers old boy, I wasn’t really thinking this would be your cup of horlicks. Perhaps I’ll try to find some Val Doonigan for you.
We have two BNP councillors, both of whom take the word inarticulate to new levels altogether. There were four but one was expelled by the nazis for having extreme views (he believes in UFOs and that the US instigated 9/11) and another was slung off the council for failing to attend meetings.
