Senoufou - shame you are getting the wrong end of the stick...
I thought you would have gathered by now, my default mode is affectionate sarcasm...
life is too painful otherwise..

Can't ever miss an opportunity for a mild piss taking laugh...
friends or enemies, dished out in equal measure...

[though I don't really do hate and enemies, never been that good at sustaining the ill feeling towards even the most despicable pillocks..
I even regard bonzo as a weird kind of disreputable mate... 😜]

But beneath it all, there is always a serious subtext,
with a remote hope that it might provoke more tangential contextual consideration on a subject, for any who might be bothered thinking further


As it is, me and the mrs quite like what we see of the local [South West] Morris squad once or twice a year..
Even though it's obvious we know eff all about the intricacies..

We can watch them with a mixture of bemusement and enjoyment..
and admire their sheer determination to put on a good show in all weathers...

There's one young lad, we have observed growing from a boy over the last decade, whilst the others in the team are now more portly and white / less haired...

Mrs punkfolkrocker, almost feels like he is a distant nephew, she is so happy to see him improve year after year..

Good luck to 'em and long may they shake their sticks...

All seems positive, cosy, and inoffensive...

I'd actually prefer to see some of the more aggressively antagonistic controversial punk rock sides of morris..
but unfortunately not down here in bucalcoholic scrumpyshire.....

..and as you misconstrue malice in my writing, in this thread you could be seen as actively over pandering to and naively in denial,
trying to account for and dismiss possible taints of racism in our folk world...????

.. guess it's all down to appearance and misinterpretation...

Personally I think folks can get too worked up turning molehills into mountains and conflicts...

FRESh may or may not be acting like bellends...???

But some of the black face morris side's more reactionary supporters definitely are...!!!!!
