“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Going Red’s power pop peen-clean paean “Some Boys” is a collaboration between two parties you might not expect. Tune in now to find out who! Or Google it. Actually don't do that. I need the attention.

Welcome to another squeaky clean Middle-Aged Teenage Angst on @noiseboxradio.com, coming to you on National Bathtub Day. Unlike most DJs who just mention these things and carry on like cowards, I’ve gone fully method - naked, foaming and covered in bubbles. You may be sick now.
