Ian would you have the lyrics to ‘Recession Song’ as i do like to sing when drunk, even though i’m tone deaf and can’t sing, i like a good sing-along, its a catchy tune with good lyrics that you could sing at a karaoke, although, for obvious reasons related to health and safety i don’t do karaoke, and it maybe rendered tuneless, but the lyrics should go down well.

I was born in Alton in 1951 and have lived a life supporting socialist principals , my father stood for Alton UDC in 1962 on the Labour ticket ( lost by 4 votes . However , watching your clips and interviews on U Tube and reading your various writings and protestations , I could never support your anarchist attitudes and calls for the end of the Monarchy plus the pathetic “bash the rich” attacks.
You appear to me to be a pathetic and offensive little man who has made little or NO mark on politics with your “fuck the rich and powerful ” foul mouthed attacks . Fairly soon you will die and be completely forgotten .

Thats the way mate, get it off your chest, you’ll feel better after it.
I’m sure there’s many readers of this blog who are glad you could add to the discussion and debate. Thanks for the insight into your dads political career, he must have been something remarkable eh. Where can I get his autobiography from?

First of all Gary, Ian is already a working class hero to many people, even within his own lifetime. But what makes you think he even cares if he’s remembered or not? To use that as an insult merely projects your own insecurities onto someone else. Yeah, he’s gonna die soon, but so are all of us because the planet is fucked, in case you hadn’t noticed.
Just finished reading ‘Bash the Rich’ by the way. Very funny book with some really good insights into the radical scene of the 70’s and 80’s. Then after reading the chapter about the books he recommends and various historical figures/movements that influenced him, I suddenly realised that although this book might superficially appear to be a series of comedy recollections…it’s also actually a highly subversive DIY guide to starting your own revolutionary movement! Excellent stuff.
