the answer is yes they were subversive but not sure if they were situationists.

Depends on your definition of 'situationist'. If Bill Butt burning a million quid comes under that term, then YES ;-)
Read his book, '45'

Prankster might be a more apt term...

Good bloke is Bill - pity more people didn't listen at the time... Still, we have the Pirate Party UK now - best place to chuck your vote now there's nothing left but Cameron, Mandelson & Zion Inc.

| Quote: | The world is changing. The Pirate Party understands that the law needs to change to match the realities of life in the 21st century.
We have 3 core policies:
• Reform copyright and patent law. We want to legalise non-commercial file sharing and reduce the excessive length of copyright protection, while ensuring that when creative works are sold, it's the artists who benefit, not monopoly rights holders. We want a patent system that doesn't stifle innovation or make life saving drugs so expensive that patients die.
• End the excessive surveillance, profiling, tracking and monitoring of innocent people by Government and big businesses.
• Ensure that everyone has real freedom of speech and real freedom to enjoy and participate in our shared culture.
In recent years we have seen an unprecedented onslaught on the rights of the individual. We are treated like criminals when we share entertainment digitally, even though this is just the modern equivalent of lending a book or a DVD to a friend. We look on helpless as our culture and heritage, so important for binding our society together, is eroded and privatised.
Now there is a democratic alternative. We, the people, can take back our rights. We, the people, can overturn the fat cats and the corrupt MPs who hold our nation's cultural treasures to ransom, ignore our democratic wishes and undermine our civil liberties.
The internet has turned our world into a global village. Ideas can be shared at incredible speed, and at negligible cost. The benefits are plain to see, but as a result, many vested interests are threatened. The old guard works hard to preserve their power and their privilege, so we must work hard for our freedom. The Pirate Party offers an alternative to the last century's struggles between political left and political right. We are open to anyone and everyone who wants to live in a fair and open society.
Following on from the wildfire success of our sister parties in other countries, the Pirate Party UK offers a new way to tackle society's problems, by releasing the potential of ideas, at the expense of corporate monopolies and the interests of a controlling state.
Outdated laws must change, and will change. The only question is when will we change them. Join our cause, and help make this change happen now! |

Latin Quarter - Modern Times
Release Date
19th August 2002 on the Cherry Red record label - CDMRED 216
A DJ friend has both a cd and vinyl version on a different label from about 1985? With the exact same picture. Latin Quarter - Modern Times was broadcast many times on Radio Caroline.
http://www.radioafrica.co.uk/
“Latin Quarter were formed in August 1983, initially consisting of Mike Jones (Lyrics), Steve Skaith (Vocals, Guitar) and Richard Wright (Guitar). This line-up has formed the backbone of Latin Quarter ever since. Mike Jones and Steve Skaith, both members of Big Flame a political organisation concerned with social justice, actually starting writing and home-recording two years prior to the formation of the band. It was said of Phil Ochs that the basis to his songwriting was that "A pamphlet, no matter how good, is never read more than once, but a song is learned by heart and repeated over and over" and this truth was one of the driving forces for Mike Jones and Steve Skaith.”
(edit)
Since first seeing this web site about a year ago i have noticed they now! give a clue.
With the menu LQ Albums Modern times 2002 and Modern times. Same picture. |
