The point is Bobad.
The history of 1928 is all very well in its way.
Indeed, I expect the political affiliation that Jim and I feel to the Labour Party and the left generally could probably be traced back to the general Strike in 1926, even further perhaps.
No doubt, when Harold got one in the eye at the Battle of Hastings - our ancestors were there in the throng, going 'fuck this for a game of soldiers'.

However these kids sticking bombs in their shoes, up their bums, running away to join Jihadi John, etc. have fuck all to do with 1928. They are products of our society. they are our fuck-ups. they are disaffected youths from Derby, Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester.

We can't sort it out without closer links with the indigenous Muslim community. A meeting of minds. A collision course between the two cultures is neither desirable or inevitable...its just kids who don't fit in, and see something they think will confer significance on their lives, when society is telling them they have none.

1928 for Gawdsake....ask yourself. does your average young person know what happened yesterday on the News?   And that's what you're dealing with. Not 1928.
