What if Bruce Springsteen comes out and says there's too many foreign people in New Jersey?

I was trying to work out which other musicians could be all "send 'em all back" and still get defended by indie kids. I think Alex Turner needs to be the test subject here.

I don't think Alex Turner would work as a test subject. Because if Alex Turner said "send 'em all back", even The Guardian would defend him.

Then again, they already kinda did that with Morrissey.

"I can already hear the chorus of execration. How dare I say such a horrible thing? How dare I stir up trouble and inflame feelings by repeating such a conversation? The answer is that I do not have the right not to do so. Here is a decent, ordinary fellow-Englishman, who in broad daylight in my own town says to me, his Member of Parliament, that the country will not be worth living in for his children. I simply do not have the right to shrug my shoulders and think about something else. What he is saying, thousands and hundreds of thousands are saying and thinking – not throughout Great Britain, perhaps, but in the areas that are already undergoing the total transformation to which there is no parallel in a thousand years of English history"

Tubby looks like the world's worst professional Jude Law lookalike there.

"She is becoming afraid to go out. Windows are broken. She finds excreta pushed through her letterbox. When she goes to the shops, she is followed by children, charming, wide-grinning piccaninnies. They cannot speak English, but one word they know. 'Racialist', they chant. When the new Race Relations bill is passed, this woman is convinced she will go to prison. And is she so wrong? I begin to wonder."

"Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad. We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting the annual inflow of some 50,000 dependants, who are for the most part the material of the future growth of the immigrant descended population. It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre. So insane are we that we actually permit unmarried persons to immigrate for the purpose of founding a family with spouses and fiancées whom they have never seen."

Just to change topic slightly, I *still* want to know why Kevin Rowland looks just like Enoch these days.

This is what he's like.

Well now, look, let us try and start with a few figures as far as we know them, and I am the first to admit it is not easy to get clear figures from the Home Office about immigration, but there was a committee which looked at it and said that if we went on as we are then by the end of the century there would be four million people of the new Commonwealth or Pakistan here. Now, that is an awful lot and I think it means that people are really rather afraid that this country might be rather swamped by people with a different culture and, you know, the British character has done so much for democracy, for law and done so much throughout the world that if there is any fear that it might be swamped people are going to react and be rather hostile to those coming in.

Is this a call to boycott?

Did Bruce say something really un-PC to prompt this thread?

like, Australians, you mean?

all ilm threads are about morrissey when you get right down to it

John Lydon and Sid Vicious.

Hypothetically, I mean.

And here I thought Geir was the kinda guy who wouldn't take No Dogs, No Black, No Irish as irony.

Didn't they (Sex Pistols, I mean) deem Hitler's consentration camps a footnote in one of their lyrics?

In the same way that Randy Newman hates short people, yes.

Why did Johnny Cash never get picked up by the Reno judiciary for homicide?

Ozzy Osbourne can't go through airport metal detectors since being turned to steel in the Great Magnetic Field, y'know.

"Rights for whites, that's all we're saying."

I don't get why being against more IMMIGRANTS is so non-PC, but you can call for the deaths of hundreds of thousands under the guise of liberating them and still be liberal

I'm pretty sure that most of the people who object to Morrissey's anti-immigration rhetoric aren't that into the carpet-bombing of Iraq either, dude.

i mean hillary clinton

enoch powell>hillary clinton

"liberals"? pah! now this was a liberal:

"But you see other people who've worked hard all their lives and they're finding that they're suffering because the nation has come so - as they see it - choked with, urm, y'know, people from Europe and Africa and Asia coming to live here as well, and that a lot of things like their pensions and their privileges are being taken away because they're going to other sections of the community."
