F*cking ridiculous.

I loathed Oasis and have never liked a single thing the Gallaghers have done since...but I think this is quite good:

what I don't get with this Pogues thing is that Fairytale is a song about another time. Is it not just about magnifying offense where there is little or none and like most things in the media, grossly disproportionate? As I tried to illuminate with Cardi B's WAP - Fairytale isn't a song promoting h...

Are you even capable of forming a reply that doesn't contain spite and bile? You've made vaild points but simply can't engage without recourse to insult. I'm merely treating your elaborately worded pointless pretentious bullshit with the exact level of contempt it deserves. Of course you are.

But would you want your 7 year old daughter learning the moves, the lyrics and attitude?

At the risk of sounding repetitive, how come things like this are calmly sanctioned whilst the likes of Cardi B churns out verbal pornography to youngsters without even a raised eyebrow from the sensitive watchdogs?

If rocks aren't safe then neither will The Stranglers be

But when they do, their dangly nostrils are not covered.
