I fucking <3 Bill Drummond.


Why I covered a Ukip billboard poster with my international grey paint
I have grey paint and I intend to use it to cover anything I find morally and aesthetically offensive. What's the problem?

By the time you are reading this I may have been arrested. Maybe you have already read something about the arrest in the news. But as of now I am sitting safely on the Chiltern Line train heading from London Marylebone to Birmingham Moor Street station.

More than 10 years ago I made up a brand of paint. It was called Drummond's International Grey. I had 1,000 one-litre tins of it made. I was not planning on going into business to compete with Dulux or Crown.

These tins of grey emulsion existed for one purpose only: I was selling them for you to use to paint over anything you found to be morally or aesthetically offensive. Basically, I was in the business of promoting vandalism.

That is all.

"....But what I do know is that I want fewer borders in the world, not more."

I totally agree. This is our planet to share. Why should someone's place of birth dictate how his or her life is likely to pan out? What gives me the right to a cushy life in Britain, just because it's where I happen to have been born, while someone else is condemned to a life of poverty and misery because he was born in a "third world" country?

My lack of articulacy frustrates me sometimes. I wish I could convey my thoughts half as poetically as SHM, Shambles, Sam and the others. :(
 
I was in no way being poetic unless you count injoke pix as poetry. KLF folks are godmen to me but couldn't resist a wee reminder they are part of the history of art too.

I totally agree on the sentiment though. UKIP have been campaigning heavily around these parts. I've not actually read any of the shite they've stuffed through me doorflap thus far. Was saving it for a rainy day when in need of cheering up. Or ranting. Both are fine by me. As is plastering grey paint over their posters.
 
Hmmmmm... at times. Bill Drummond has a higher hit rate though so we'll keep it to discussion of him I think (thanks all the same ;)<3). Man's a legend and can do no wrong as far as I can tell <3

Will be having dins shortly and may just read that UKIP stuff. If there's not comedy gold to be had in there I'll... eat my dinner and forget about it.
 
There's a few different versions of that UKIP poster around. There's one near me warning that several million Eastern Europeans are on their way over to steal our jobs and women.
 
Fuck. Am just reading the UKIP booklet leaflet (they do go on a bit don't they 8() and seems we're in the schtuck. Did you know we allow foreign criminals to roam the land because they own a cat? We do. FACT! Why are prisoners allowed a vote at all in fact? Surely they shouldn't count? FACT! "The UK has a proud tradition of liberty and freedom. If we leave the EU, we can also withdraw from the European Court of Human Rights.". Fukkin Human Rights. What do we want with that foreign muck?

We give money in aid to countries as revolting as Turkey, Serbia, Albanis, Armenia, Libya and even Ukraine!!! What are we thinking. Fuck them too. And their human rights. Or lack thereof. They don't quite explain that bit but sure it makes good common sense.

Green policies? Fuck them too. They cost money and we could instead just ignore that shit and let the market decide the rate independently of any control... which will surely save both us money and keep the place worth living in. Why wouldn't it?

4000 people come to the UK every week from the EU. Many of them charging decent prices for work our own people take the piss for or simply never bother turning up at all. It's a disgrace. I want nothing to be fixed for ten times the money. It makes sense. Vote UKIP <3
 
Drummond must be desperate for some publicity. I suppose he always has been tho.

New single out next month!

I dont want anymore people in the country tho shammy - fuck them off. The countries full. It was full at 20 million. And I don't buy the tory theory that "they'll do jobs that are too hard for the english you know". I'm old enough to remember pre-2003 and somehow all the work that needed doing in the UK got done. I don't remember anyone screaming "We need millions of east europeans to do all this work". It's just a way of driving wages through the floor and making the poverty stricken even poorer. Fuck them off.
 
Er, you're talking shit. Drummond hasn't made a record for more than twenty years. So your point is....what?

Your point is shit.
 
What about "Fuck the millennium"?

...Drummond hasn't made a proper record for more than twenty years.

Fix'd.

I'm not even gonna dignify the "country is full up" comment with a response - do you really think that or are you just doing the defence of the Heil cos at least it ain't the Grauniad thing again? The country is not full up - there's plenty of space but no fukker is building on it cos they're too busy hoarding it to drive up rents/housing prices. Wages are not the issue either - people should be paid a decent wage but if the minimum wage is held back at mid-90s levels for 20-odd years it's hardly a surprise folk are skint really.
 
Full at 20 million my arse. Do you ever step outside of Leicestershire?

"Won't someone think of the animals"

Yeah, there's too many fucking rabbits already. Fuck them off.

WITH GREY PAINT.
 
You are older than I thought, Issy. Or talking out yer arse. When the UK population was at 20m we were still at the sweatshops and slums stage. Doesn't sound like some kinda British Bulldog paradise to me to be honest. Sounds a shitload worse than it is now actually. They said it was overcrowded back then too I rather suspect. And it was. Cos they hadn't built enough houses in the right places. Some things never change, eh?
 
Bill Drummond is a ledge - got me into illuminatus/RAW too.

Agree with free immigration on principle as payback for our colonial past; we're still as rich as we are (6th richest country?!) due to leftovers of that extracted wealth (and controlling the city of london banking scam (and arms)).

However, immigration in its current form is a typical neo-liberal policy to cheapen labour costs (like their other fave 'outsourcing'), with the added bonus of stirring up division and undermining working class politics (which is also UKIP's role). It's the very same elite scumbags that make political capital out of immigation through their media organs that economically benefit from it; for them, the 'benefit' to the country is in the form of corporate profits from cheaper wages ('which will trickle down, honest').

imo we benefit culturally and socially from more races living here, but we should be prepared to pay them (and us) fair wages, and build the needed infastructure or there will be social issues (probably the plan though). The EU's job should be to make its members pay decent living wages rather than facilitate mass immigration as a race to the bottom to create a 'flexible labour market' (but the eu is largely a neoliberal organ)). and we've got plenty of room if we do a bit of 'land reform', zimbabwe style, to get the common land back...

Had that on vinyl. Guess how much it hurt to sell it :!

Bonus KLF FACT!: Did any of y'all see the comment one of 'em made (can't recall which but am fairly sure it was actually one of 'em) on one of the Space tracks posted on PooToob a few years back? Paraphrasing a bit...

"Fuck me. Even I don't have a copy of this anymore. Last time we played this I was off my tits on acid. Sounded good then. Still does."

Tis the interwebz obviously but did come from one of their accounts as I (sort of) recall. Amused me whoever said it.

Other than that, I agree with what you said. We have no right to be bitchin about folk living here after we've shafted half the world for centuries. We owe a lotta people a lot. We can afford it. We could make it work much better than may be the case at times. It's a choice to make it a problem but it's not me making that choice. Nor many (any?) of the rest of us likely to be around these parts. Problems come from excessive greed and lack of giving a fuck about anybody or anything other than themselves way "above" us. Those people are the problem not a few immigrants.
 
...Those people are the problem not a few immigrants.

Agreed; though it's also 'our' fault i suppose for not overwhelming them with our massive numbers in a revolution (or at least a decent political party) - though they've had decades of turning our brains to mush consumerism/the media, and turning us against each other with baubles to counteract our numbers advantage (that's my excuse anyway ;)

Must have stung selling that vinyl. Remember those albums and the orb's stuff being pretty much on continuous play (when that meant turning a tape over) for ages in my youthful mushroom adventures (plus a bit of the old ostrich testicles)
