Probably the band I've seen the most and my most played album.

The Blogging Goth @theblogginggoth.bsky.social · 1d

"Love", the second studio album by #TheCult, is forty years old today!

It was a commercial smash, heading to No. 4 on the UK albums charts, as well as spawning no less than three Top 40 singles - "Rain", "She Sells Sanctuary" and "Revolution".

"We need a sporting and cultural boycott of all Israeli teams, like we saw for South African teams under apartheid."

@mothinali.bsky.social responds to Maccabi Tel Aviv fans being banned from attending a football game against Aston Villa.

"These are not normal circumstances: these games are taking place in the context of thousands of civilians being killed in Gaza, the illegal occupation of Palestinian land, and the upholding of a system of apartheid."

An under-discussed objective of the flag-shaggers recent activities is to create a justification for the violence they are desperate to mete out - as anybody who opposes them becomes a legitimate target, in their eyes. www.theargus.co.uk/news/2554636...

In order to avoid any more scandals involving the Royal Family, can I suggest we abolish the lot, and save a few quid in the process?

The President of the Jewish Aston Villa Supporters Club, an ex Para who RT GB News calls genocide in Gaza a "hoax" and says the banning of Maccabi fans is a ban on "Jews". Isn't that antisemitic by IHRA definition?

Tell me you never went to a game in the 1980s without telling me you never went to a game in the 1980s. The silly bastard.

Imagine being more outraged at the banning of football fans than the mass slaughter of men,women and babies.
The person whose skeleteons are now falling out the cupboard to reveal who pays them ! Imagine being that person whose attitude has changed from this👇to doing what Israhell tells him🤬

Selling for £80. Only £8 goes to Poppy Scotland. The rest split between Umbro aka Castore and Rangers.

Rangers once again profiteering under the guise of charity. Different owners same con.

Celtic donate 10k each year. Rangers dont. Rangers milk the fans for donations and then skim off the top.
