Ok thanks for that,still puzzled as in what context does the stranglers were cancelled from '77 mean?...the members? the quality of their music?

[toilerinblack]

It can range from people loosing their jobs/career/reputation for wrong think to censorship online - I myself am banned from commenting on Youtube videos despite never saying anything remotely controversial or even clicking a thumbs down.

T’was just a bit of humour and ting but there is some truth in it tbh, like. If you’ve followed them since ‘77 then you would be aware of their infamous past.

Put it this way if The Stranglers were a Football team or a comedian their equivalent would be Leeds Utd and Bernard Manning.

Yeah, kinda proving my point there.

Sir what you mean is they are non Pc, despite their differences, that's the only thing Hugh and JJ have in common these days, they both cant stand PC, I agree with them on this, I don't want to offend people but you can't make an innocent remark these days without wondering if some over sensitive person will be offended.
