#OTD In 1977 My band were headlining a Rock Against Racism gig :-) I believe we're on Spotify if anyone is interested. I recommend the tracks Artsy Fartsy and Starsky and Hutch, but it's all good. Recorded in 1977, released 2012.

Imagine the reaction if the bodies of returned Israeli hostages were handcuffed, blindfolded & showed signs of torture. It would be on the front page, leading every news bulletin, & the govt would be condemning the murderous brutality of Hamas
But Palestinian bodies? Nothing
