You might know Andrew Collins from his music and television journalism (NME, The Word, The Guardian), or his excellent biography of Billy Bragg, Still Suitable For Miners. Or, most likely, as that bloke who appeared on TV as a "talking head" a lot in the Nineties and Noughties.
You might not know that he is also a terrific blogger, so much so that he scoops the blogger of the year award in my annual round-ups pretty much every year.
Well now, on his personal blog Never Knowingly Underwhelmed, he's written an important think-piece on the imminent general election. Whatever the colour of your rosette (and especially if you're undecided and/or a first-time, newly registered voter), I urge you to have a read.
And while we're on the subject of the general election, in the unlikely event that you're the one person who hasn't already seen it, here's Cassetteboy vs Theresa May. Enjoy, albeit as a black comedy.
It seems like such a no-brainer, doesn't it? More than any other election in recent memory (except for the Trump one), I cannot imagine why any sane thinking person would vote for TM and her cronies. Like AC says, this is not about voting for Corbyn. It's not about agreeing with all of his policies. It's about stopping the Tories before they do any more damage.
ReplyDeleteWell said, that man.
