David Bowie’s sketch of a cover idea for the album that would become ‘Low.’ Fascination, indeed. Seen at the V&A Archive. Well worth a visit.

DB continues to inspire. Creativity is life.

Drawing of a young boy by David Bowie. The boy sits at a tabletop sculpting or painting another human figure. Behind him a clock shows 4pm, a crucifix hangs on a wall and the word. ‘Fascination’ hovers above while a shadowy figure hovers in the background, watching. (C) David Bowie

Yeah the pre-emptive nihilism people display is *very obviously* a self-fulfilling prophesy and extremely in fact part of shifting our cultural norms in exactly the direction Farage et al would prefer. Care, care simply because it matters, and it matters to you. Say as much publicly.

All the supposedly progressive people saying 'Nigel Farage's racism doesn't matter. His fans love it'.

It matters whether the leader of the party leading all the opinion polls is an outright racist. It matters if he called black people 'wogs' and said 'gas them' to Jews. Not everything is a game

There absolutely are people who will vote for whichever candidate is the most racist, but you don't get Farage's numbers without engaging a lot of people who's politics begin and end at 'he says what he thinks', and we can absolutely pull them away by making his brand toxic.
