Merseyside monachrists

[Charlie Sweet]

I'm anti-tory, anti-monarchy, yet I hate the behaviour of those idiots because it's nothing but performative nonsense and I don't want to be associated with it.

I cringe whenever I'm at a gig in this city now and there's a bunch of kids trying to hijack it singing "[Poor language removed] the tories" .

As has been said, these people couldn't tell you why they hate the monarchy or why they hate the tories.

Can't you see you're being conned and brainwashed? In your own words you're anti-Tory but you are taking sides against a few kids shouting the same? The Tories have the media - grassroots opposition is all there is

Honestly, it's the only thing I like about them!

No no no, never like ANYTHING about them because anything they.do has no soul

 

[Charlie Sweet]

Half of them don't even know they were founded by a tory it's mad tbh

It's a joke. Forget what happened over a century ago. Folk are against the Tories for what they have deliberately done to the city in recent years. Either stand with then or join the Tories.

RS > Tories and Monarchists.

Don't get me wrong, it's VERY close.

Actually I probably prefer monarchists...

Not tories though.

 

[blueconverse]

I like the idea of a Monarchy but the Windsors are just crap. No one tried to overthrow lizzie and seize the throne. Boring

A soul you can't define. A soul you allow your prejudices to filter. Anyone that hates the Tories and the monarchy have their good points.

There idiots that lot, they think they are making a stand, Boss Night haha they sing about Thatcher who ruled YEARS before most of them were born.

Yeah and rightly so.

You're obviously not at these gigs, like I often am. They're often doing it over the music. Even at the Fontaines gig at the Uni last Autumn, some of the band had a look that said "fine sentiments, but don't sing this while we're playing".

I'm not taking sides at all. I'm just saying it's all disingenuous and over time will do more damage than good.

You're right in saying grassroots opposition is where it's at. Which is why I'm a member of my union, attend rallies and try to do my bit. I doubt a lot of those lads can say the same. It's all performative.

Haha that like saying Jimmy Saville had good points because he raised a few quid for charity running the London marathon

You need to take a break and get yourself a caffeine fix. Or a cuddle @chicoazul

Did see you Jarvis Cocker last year at the Wind Factory? Some knobheads starting it then, he joked about it, possibly agreed with the sentiment but at the same time had a look of WTF is this nonsense?

I was there, it was full of them that night.

Same with Sam Fender.

It's all Websters fault, who was encouraged by his management company to portray himself a certain way to gain a following outside those BOSS nights.

I didn't mate, but it would have been the same as the FDC one...
