Corruption and dishonesty should absolutely be called out. Making fun of somebody's surname doesn't do this. It's just playground bullying.

Using childish nicknames isn't probity. It's pathetic and it distracts attention from the real issues with this government.

David Fully-Costed? Seriously, as soon as you resort to playground insults based on somebody's name you've lost me. It's inane, childish and unnecessary.

On banning sick filth.
One main reason I didn’t want to talk about Kneecap is because none of this is new, and pretending it is makes me feel insane. Punk and hip-hop bands have been singing about killing queens and presidents for decades. There are entire strains of country and folk music predicated on murder and destruction. If you’ve attended any metal festival in Britain or Ireland for the past 30 years, you’ll have heard detailed instructions on bloodshed, desecration, necrophilia, and bestiality. One wonders if police were informed about the 1995 release of Boulder’s Kick The Pregnant, Devourment’s Molesting The Decapitated, or the entire roster of Italian grindcore label Rotting Abortion Records. In those cases, it’s clear that such grotesque sentiments are deliberate, performative exercises in distasteful overstatement, designed to shock, offend and, yes, to bleakly amuse. Unfortunately, the law has not always seen it this way. We are not so far removed from the days when The Dubliners’ Seven Drunken Nights was banned from the national airwaves for its lewd content in 1967, or the satanic panic of the late 1980s — which told us that Ozzy Osbourne’s Suicide Solution was leading listeners to kill themselves. It’s asinine, in 2025, to be holding any of those things to the same standard as actual incitement toward bodily harm. To hold just some of them to that standard, and not the others, is more asinine still. It’s also jarringly obvious that this latest controversy has been dredged up in the wake of Kneecap’s Coachella performance, in which they agitated for the people of Palestine and highlighted the ongoing genocide being perpetrated against them by Israel, courting outcry from — among others — Sharon Osbourne, whose memories of her own husband’s time in the dock at the height of the Satanic Panic appear to have faded.
