Brilliant - love seeing ‘78 photos before everything went all Crazy Color too. Great that the band did the rounds and were a proper thing.

Yes, it’s interesting isn’t it? By no means just a list of refusenik heroes.

I know! For me, it’s the little hand gestures as he contemplates the lie of the land midway - and the tucking in of Sponge Bob Square Pants’ annoying legs!

Yes, Bowie had no time for it.

Well, I'd like to add Clough and Ferguson, so more interested in their common class and sometime trade union background really, but also in their inter-relation and yes, of course, Scottishness and religion too.
