Oh…..my aching sides – to commemorate the Grosvenor Square battle the BBC presents:
‘Tariq Ali on Desert Island Discs
11.15am Sunday 16 March, rpt 9.00am Friday 21 March
On the eve of the anniversary of the Grosvenor Square riots, Tariq Ali is the guest on DID. ‘
Why ask Tariq to commemorate Grosvenor Square – he wsn’t even fucking there – he led 100,000 sheep into Hyde Park thus settting the trend so uselessly pursued by STWC ever since.
Suggestions for his choices…….pleeeeeeese……anyone suggesting ‘Street Fighting Man’ will be shot!
Tariq’s Top Ten:
1. A walk in the Park
2.Teddy Bears picnic
3.Coward of the County
4. WALK ON BY
5.Cowardy Cowardy Custard……….
6. The Green Green Grass of …..Hyde Park
Next Week: WIFE SWAP: Tariq and Vanessa swap with a working class couple – the sparks fly!
TARIQ ALI does ‘FLOG IT’ (TO DEATH): An elderly gentleman attempting to sell a book of memoirs to the FLOG IT team is exposed as a fake!

He’s on the South Bank Show this Sunday with WRP luvvie Vanessa Redgrave with their take on 1968. Apparently he over emphasises his importance to the events of that year, so I hear.
2. Falling In Love With Myself Again/Sparks
3. Parklife/Blur
Careful not to slip on your own shit again Tariq, you spineless over-privileged wanker.
‘The Laughing Policeman’
‘Any Old Irony’
‘Me Myself & I’
‘(I Would Walk) 500 Miles’
‘Big Mouth Strikes Again’
Nothing. In the entire world. Could be worse than David Cameron picking This Charming Man by The Smiths. I nearly killed myself that day, I swear.
AIMEE! His #1 choice was Tangled Up In Blue by Bob Dylan. The pain was beyond anything I have ever experienced.
I think we should just throw them both into the Thames.
Not sure that’s such a good idea, they both seem to be the sort that would float 😦
and as a special, personal item…..?
a personalised megaphone with Tariq emblazoned on it so he can hector the palm trees, reptiles and sundry wildlife as they ponder why he is there and what he is going on about.
What about ‘Walk Away’ by the Sisters of Mercy?
