Who would have thought that the magnificent Stripey Zebras would become a joyless Anarcho-Punk band, banging on about Fox Hunting and war in place of the far more subversive subjects of Donny and Marie Osmond, Greta Garbo, and Disco's.
These chaps wanna lighten up a bit!?
On a topical note they do mention Govt chemical weapons facility 'Porton Down', just down the road from Anarcho-Punk homeland, Stone 'Enge........WARNING*! Spinal Tappisms could follow!?
Autumn Poison indeed,This week those filthy Russians have poisoned two of our finest British piss heads in near-by Sailsbury, with some discarded Novichok Nerve Agent.Conspiracy Theorists will draw sweeping conclusions about the coincidence that this facility is so close to these 'attacks', and that its in the middle of the World Cup.....whatever basically. But i am not unaware that the roots of this modern conspiracy syndrome madness that led directly to the election of leaders that make their nemesis 'Thatcher' look like Mahatma Ghandi; had their roots in the very same Anarcho-Punk culture that bangs on relentlessly about leaders such as Trump.Oh the Irony!?....what would the lickle children of Stone 'enge have said? (told ya*).
