“I used to like this program.
The episode about the life of Joey Ramone was gaslighting drivel.
A pair of smug middle aged middle class (insert expletive) repurposing the story of pink to suit their own reactionary deluded self serving narratives. I was alive in 1976 and I remember what punk was about and it wasn’t about Mathew Paris and that other (insert expletive) massaging each other’s comfy little egos.
Utter drivel.
The absolute lowest point is when one of them says:
“There was something a bit punk about Margaret Thatcher.” ....
I do not have words to express my contempt for this rewriting of history.
It would be laughable if it wasn’t so deeply sinister.
“History is a narrative created to serve the purpose of the ruling classes “
Never truer than now.
Next time you hear someone saying that the BBC is left wing play them this. They’ll be pleased to find that the bbc is still the propaganda mouthpiece of the establishment.
Sickening.
