Ian Lee @ianlee23.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Well Israel is 64th, there being almost 200 countries in the world. The European Union and The United Nations aren’t countries in themselves but formal unions of particular countries. 210
Ian Lee @ianlee23.bsky.social · 14/07/2026It’s all gone wrong for France. How? Why? I didn’t expect this. But it seems Spain are on fire. 110
Ian Lee @ianlee23.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Quite normal behaviour of a PM or President to attend top sporting fixtures of their nation- whoever or whatever politics. And he’s already resigned as PM. (We’re working through the change-over period). 100
Ian Lee @ianlee23.bsky.social · 26/06/2026We don’t know if any of these would be true, to be honest. 2150
Ian Lee @ianlee23.bsky.social · 20/05/2026An excellent ‘lost’ Birmingham band. I understand they were past friends, not local to Birmingham (where I live) who met again at Uni (?). I saw them live 8 times in the last half of the 1990s. 110
Ian Lee @ianlee23.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Yeah, I had such experiences - and subsequent opinion - years ago. Just why? I say always in the centre of door, horizontal, Just slightly larger than A4 size. 040
Ian Lee @ianlee23.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Not for one moment did I believe those bands were Nazis themselves. Just stupid young idiots at the time, flirting with Nazism. Time has proven such. Loved their music though. Not sure that the author is 100% right on everything (he’s very confident) but I note what he says. An important book. 021
Ian Lee @ianlee23.bsky.social · 23/02/2026I’ve got this book. I’ve also got some of the records mentioned. Banshees, JD and NO were three of my favourite bands. I ALWAYS criticised punks for having a swastika on display. I found it pathetic, not shocking. I’ve had fights with Nazis in both my home town and London. I have my own stories. 111
Ian Lee @ianlee23.bsky.social · 03/02/2026I tracked it down in 2006. The locals were still unwilling to go near it. 030
Ian Lee @ianlee23.bsky.social · 16/12/2025I’ve got a new UK passport. It actually looks BLACK to me. 120
Ian Lee @ianlee23.bsky.social · 04/11/2025Well, the revised line-up after Howard Devoto left, following the Spiral Scratch EP. 020
Ian Lee @ianlee23.bsky.social · 02/11/2025One weapon used by all three. Of course, Mussolini gained power due to ether March on Rome in 1822; Franco, via the Spanish Civil War, and Hitler… voted in, through the ‘democratic’ process. 000
Ian Lee @ianlee23.bsky.social · 01/11/2025@c20society.bsky.social You need to know that John Madins’ Chamber of Commerce building in Birmingham. with the John Piper artwork, has been boarded up this week. 110
