Going through my artists currently on rotation, it doesn’t take a huge leap to imagine what a dream ‘Rock Against Racism’ lineup might look like: Massive Attack, Weller, Young Fathers, Fontaines, Bob Vylan…
Get it done, lads.

That’s a bizarre take on what I’ve argued. I’m not acting on behalf of anyone.
I don’t think the song is offensive or was even meant to be offensive. I do, however, think it’s tone deaf and could be construed as being insensitive to those still affected by Heysel.

I’ve heard ‘rentboy’ justified on the grounds that Chelsea loan players out. That they don’t own players, rather they “rent” them out to other clubs.
