“Maybe Jeremy Corbyn and Liz Truss could get together and form a new party, take us all into a better place.”
Libertines frontman Pete Doherty laments that Jeremy Corbyn was never given a “fair crack at the whip”, and tells Matt Chorley that keeping up with politics now is “like watching a local derby at the Sunday league”.

Yes Peter!! When people talk about socialist ideals, pessimists want you to have a fully formed, functional society worked out in your head. A lot of details can be worked out as things progress. Perfectly put Peter, stuff can be hammered out at a later date. Let's make sure everyone has a place to live, food and energy, it's not that difficult!

He kind of is, but not in the conventional sense. Hovering between reality and what actually happened in his life. Including stepping over or swerving by a man’s dead or dying body to escape the scene . A hero dies once, yet lives forever, but a coward dies many times.

@@XSXSXSXSXSXSXSXSXSXSXSXSXSXSXS I do want to hear ordinary people's ideas, my point is entertainers are given far to much air time to talk about stuff most of them know nothing about. Doherty is a talented musician, but his view on anything else that he is not an expert in are no more important than you or me talking about stuff we nothing about.

@PriHL 3 ай бұрын

@@VaucluseVanguard Yeah, I like Peter and love the Libertines but this sounds so uninformed and repeating chunks of information heard somewhere else, not any structure in those ideas how to really do something. This is for people who have never heard of geopolitics. I guess for lowbrow entertainment purposes that's fine but for people who know a fair bit it's just annoying. And this comes from someone who really bloody loves this band. I'm just not gonna deny facts when they stare you in the face. You're right that a cabbie might have better insights as they live the struggle and not just theorise about it. But ask professionals for solutions for such complex political problems. Though I guess it may be too difficult to comprehend for the majority of people, so they'll ask any famous person, also to boost their own exposure in today's algorithms.

What was Pete Docherty’s associate known as? “Headlock”, role? . Apparently a reputational title given to Mr Headlock from previous encounters. So he had form for “headlock” violence it seems. Then “Headlock’s” confession to police, which he later withdrew, saying he was “off his head”, or words to that effect when he made his confession to the police. Was he “off his head” when Marc Blanco Plunged from the balcony, having been ejected from the “party” . Perhaps he was Pete’s unofficial and reckless “Minder” out to prove a point and to protect and please his “master”, Pete like a wayward, out of control “puppy” . Perhaps “Headlock” sought to impress - “Yer, I’ll sort that” , hoping to win favour with his celeb new mate and the crowd of junkies around the dealer. The police need to re investigate. The confession and CCTV evidence would Be a good starting point. Apparently, the Met do not close files on unsolved deaths, especially suspicious ones. So hang on in there, Pete and Headlock. - you may yet serve time.
