Well it seems these famous Knockholt "Sausages" might be to blame for all the intrigue! According to a highly factual statements made by a newspaper known and revered for its big tits (as well as the page three models): "TELLY'S famous Fallen Madonna With The Big Boobies has been found [..] the painting by .. artist Van Clomp was fought over by the French wartime resistance and the Germans, with copies hidden in Knockwurst sausages."

PlC: "My appetite has returned and so has my looking forward to playing and having fun at this great little the event."

And I do hope your Polish lady friend and Son feel comfortable about attending too? It's horrible that there's been a tiff over misunderstandings, and I am myself sorry to have contributed unhelpful words towards it. Especially being a newcomer.

B of E, I'd *love* to hear Lord Franklin. One of the first ever 'folk' songs I recall hearing from a Pentangle album many, many moons ago..

And as to giant breasts - be they fluorescent (finally learned how to spell it) merely colourful or otherwise quite undecorated: "My bonny bosoms are big-enough-already, but a' growing..." Aren't mudpacks supposed to be beneficial to the firming and minimising of a ladies decolletage? Bring on the 'Knockers' rain...

Crow Sister - yes I do Lord Franklyn, it's one of my favourite songs, and I did it along with my Bardettes and Richard at Ash (the mini folk festival on Monday). I'll do it at Knockholt for you.

I'm getting worried as I don't want to end up with giant florescent breasts - - - they're big enough without advertising ;-0

We love you PlC. A little chaos is a good thing.

Melodeonboy your shirts remind me of the hallucinations those "don't do drugs" films they showed me in school. Stuff of nightmares.

Now to clarify the giant fluorescent breasted women reference.

I did not mean to say that I have giant florescent breasts. More that I am a woman (last time I checked the hormones were still on low simmer).   I am leaning towards giant size generally thanks to hormones and age and other things. And I have breasts which may or may not be giant depending upon perspective of the wearer (that's me) and the viewer (who ever dares). Some may think moderate in proportion to rest of me. I think gigantic in bloody nuisance of carrying them about and finding a place for them when I play guitar.

Now that's clear as mud, innit?

And speaking of mud, given the current weather forecast who is up for mud wrestling?

Oh dear, beer bellied bearded folkie men in thongs slithering about in the mud. My my sweet dreams for me tonight.

Hello every one
Clearly I have over reacted to this issue and to the postings, some of which that are some what confusing.

This is common to discussion forums in regards to misinterpretations of what is written and what the person behind the post is trying to say.

Indeed I am very defensive when it comes to Knockholt and will defend it against outside intrusion.
I feel much more reassured now that everything will be alright this September and I do feel some what SHEEPISH about the Choas I have caused.

I did it for the reasons above and for the terrific people that attend and that I have got to know, trust and befriended over the last 10 years.
My appetite has returned and so has my looking forward to playing and having fun at this great little the event.
Peace and kind regards to everyone Pierre.

I will be there first thing next Wednesday Morn.with cooking stuff and all.

"This whole thread has devolved due to cross threading and some serious misunderstandings. [..] I will be there with decorated tits. But I won't be making any kind of statement other than a silly reference to giant flourescent breasted women."

Dear Tam, and any other distressed parties, I think for the purposes of peace it's absolutely essential that I clarify that the image of "decorated tits" I posted was not in any way intended to undermine the value or worth of "giant flourescent breasts."

My link merely led to a pair of "very colourful" giant tits, I hope my comment hasn't offended anyone wishing to express themselves with "giant flourescent breasts". And I wish to make it clear, that I respect the rights of all giant breasts to be flourescent.

Royston, I am not "being this way" with Pete. I have said above that since those with (apparently) the right to decide have ruled out a FaF banner on the Knockholt gate or in the Knockholt marquee (something I find rather in the Chamberlain mould) there is a middle ground in that they have not said that we may not wear FaF t-shirts or display FaF banners or logos.

Likewise I have not sought to overturn Simon's bar on a FaF banner at the GI, and although caravans do not happen there, there is no ban AFAIK on wearing a FaF t-shirt there.

What Pete said about the GI was incorrect.

Lovely dysfunctional family stuff going on here.

This whole thread has devolved due to cross threading and some serious misunderstandings. I want you boys to shake hands and make up or I will have to become the "MAMMA" and believe me nobody wants me to do that.

If I make it (still considering the wisdom of attending) I will be there with decorated tits. But I won't be making any kind of statement other than a silly reference to giant flourescent breasted women.

Richard, I'm not sure why you're being this with way PlC. Growler runs the GI sessions, you asked him for a banner, he said "This is folk without politics", and you really rather meekly acquiesced. So Pete has a fair question when he asks you why you have such a different view towards Simon's GI than you do towards a constitutionally anti-racist group like Folkmob. I sugges you do it in Private Mail, this thread is already off-topic enough and is not a discussion about BNP candidates or policies.

Once and for all, Folkmob is constitutionally inclusive and prohibitive of racist or offensive behaviours. No banners, no lectures no sermons in music sessions. People are free to decorate tents, guitars, caravans, t-shirts, tits or arses in whatever tokens of allegiance they choose. Now, aren't we all agreed on that?

JB, please take a deep breath and read through this thread again. As a friend, whether you realise it or not, I think you need to take time out. If you can act this way with someone like PlC, one of the most decent blokes you'll ever meet, then people are right to be quite worried about what mayhem you could cause with others over this issue.

It seems, I stress *seems* that you're so fired up over this issue that you're likely to descend upon this small, private (NOT A COMMERCIAL FESTIVAL) gathering in a field like some avenging angel of liberal fury, and that would be entirely inappropriate.

If this is not the right impression then I would be relived to hear you correct me and give others some reassurance. Many thanks.

Unusual for me to be pointing out that there is middle ground, as I said above, namely: -


No banner on gate

No banner on marquee

No rules (apart from Folkmob constitution, if applicable) on personal apparel or caravan banners or displays.




Pete, I am not aware of Karen and Dal having had any input into the exchange about the Good Intent concert night, as you cite above. Nor am I aware of their having any applicable constitution that is in any way similar to the Folkmob constitution cited above, nor am I aware of there being any ban at the GI on t-shirts of any kind, although your position seems to have moved from opposition to a gate (or marquee) banner at Knockholt to opposition to antifascist apparel, or any other antifascist expression. In that you seem to go further than Mick's presentation of the "official line" (as above) that "a group of adults will not always agree".

Sue,

I think it was established a while back that Folkmob's constitution explicitly prohibits racist/offensive behaviour and supports inclusiveness and diversity. The club regards those statements as all that is necessary to ensure a good and harmonious atmosphere. Beyond that, there are no politics to be done here. Just drinking, music and generally getting on together.

If anyone wants to tatto their face or arse or whatever with FaF logos then good on you, go for it. Great. Lovely. Smashing. Super. Bully's star prize. No objection.

People often demand the freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought, which they seldom use.

I have thus far kept out of this debacle, but I abhor racism, as much as the next person. We do have the freedom of speech in this country. Is there a problem with anyone expressing their views graphically? And, moreover, is there a danger of anyone who expresses their views graphically being banned from the field?

I have in NO WAY mentioned politics in any of this. If any one of you can show me where I have mentioned POLITICS then please point me there. Neither have I mentioned, nor named, names or pointed fingers in any direction. All I want to do is show my support for FaF. For those who are unaware it is an organisation who are opposed to Folk Music being sold as though it was supporting a British only cause, which I find disciminatory and unpleasant in the extreme. Those who believe I have mentioned any political parties are reading things that just aren't there.
Peter - regarding 'The Good Intent', it was not Dal who said no, so please get that right. He will be approached in due time as it's up to him and Karen whether it will or will not be allowed.
Once again, please get this right - IT IS NOT POLITICS, it is my privilege to support a non political cause which is trying to ensure that my, and other songwriters music, is not used by Fascist and Racists for their nefarious ends.

I'm coming, pure and simple, like it or lump it!!

"I am assuming that the hysteria being whipped up on this thread is aimed at myself and Ken."

I'd like to clarify a couple of things.

I didn't even know you existed Roberta. I had no idea there was a candidate for the BNP on here!

For what it's worth, I've certainly expressed no hatred towards members of the BNP on those political threads elsewhere on the board that have evidently angered you enough to quit Knockholt. But if you can't handle people strongly disagreeing with your views on a discussion board, then IMO politics is really the wrong business to be in.

And again, I believe there was no mention whatever of politics on this thread, before PLC informed us that a couple of people had decided to boycott Knockholt, due to their "clashing political views".
