Just got back from Panic Shack's biggest ever headline show: 1600 people at the Cardiff student's union. Possibly my last show of 2025, and easily up there amongst the best of the year. I love this band so much!

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.

It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.

There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

The Chancellor tells us difficult decisions will be taken this Budget - but she's ignoring the millions we spend on the monarchy every year.

Here's what we could fund instead. 🧵

Absolutely wild show as expected. It genuinely is amazing that three lads rapping in Irish have made such an impact across the world. It's a good sign for the future of Celtic languages 🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Miss Kaninna was the perfect support for Kneecap. Definitely an act I'm gonna start putting on regular rotation

Got a full-on week of exciting shows this week. Kneecap tonight, Bloodywood on Thursday, and Wet Leg on Friday night!! All shows that are bound to be brilliant.

Very strong list but I'd probably have to go with Unknown Pleasures
46 Years Ago

1979 was also a year with great punk rock, post-punk, and ska albums.

Here's a selection—is your favorite among them?

Mine is definitely Ramones - It's Alive
