Gross. UKIP's bile is so unbelievable I don't understand how so many people believe it. They literally never back up their statements with evidence, it's all anecdotal. They can **** off.

It is climbing up the iTunes chart. We need an instant campaign to get people to download Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

It's former Radio 1 DJ Mike Read on this track, isn't it?

Posted by: Suedehead2 20th October 2014, 05:07 PM

Yes. That's why I'm suggesting people should download Relax

Calypso: a kind of West Indian (originally Trinidadian) music in syncopated African rhythm, typically with words improvised on a topical theme.

IRONY OVERLOAD.

Oh this is actually endorsed by UKIP? This is quite a bit worse than https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIH-2lZF2yw.

So the time I spent doing a write-up for this week's commentary looks like being wasted

Surely it's notable enough to warrant inclusion even if it misses the top 40 (which I don't think it will now especially as it's not actually been withdrawn from sale yet)

Posted by: Suedehead2 26th October 2014, 10:23 PM

So, it didn't make the top forty. However, as I had gone to the trouble of writing a paragraph about it in anticipation of it getting in, I might as well share it with you in its entirety.
