Why is it always people who rarely listen to music or watch films who say ‘Never heard of em!’ in an incredulous voice as if they should have? Of course you’ve not heard of Fleet Foxes Gary. You own one album of Simply Red’s Greatest Hits & you’ve watched Rambo.

What the fuck are you supposed to do if your homeland is being bombed and your government or war lords want to kill people like you? Every one of us would do everything in our power to escape to a better life for our families. Anti refugee sentiment is fucking weird frankly.

Maybe we’ve all been guilty of thinking ‘It’s alright. It’s only me’ when walking home & there’s a woman ahead. They don’t know it’s ‘only us’. They don’t know we live in the same direction they are walking. Until they feel safe we should go the extra mile not them.

Getting a bit sick of seeing all these videos online of people taking the mick out of Wilkos workers for getting a bit emotional with their colleagues about losing their jobs & livelihoods. The scorn is the defence mechanism of a miserable,uptight section of society.
