Dealers keep dealin’. Thieves keep thievin’. Whores keep whorin’. Junkies keep scorin’. Trade is on the meat rack. Strip joints full of hunchbacks. Bitches keep bitchin’. Clap keeps itchin’.
You might recognise these as the lyrics from Primal Scream’s exileonmainstreetesque hit, ‘Rocks’. What you may not realise is that the British Conservative Party are big fans too and just love being associated with drug dealing, prostitution, crime and sexually transmitted diseases.
How so? Well, for some inexplicable reason, our Tory chums thought it would be a good idea to play the track at the Conservative Party Conference which saw Theresa May making things up about immigrants and cats. Primal Scream are not happy.
The Screamteam reacted angrily after Home Secretary Theresa May played the track at the end of her speech where she said something about hating human rights. Or something. We weren’t really listening.
Primal Scream issued this statement in response:
“Primal Scream are totally disgusted that the Home Secretary Theresa May ended her speech at the Tory party conference with our song ‘Rocks’. How inappropriate.”
“Didn’t they research the political history of our band? Hasn’t she listened to the words? Does she even know what getting your rocks off means? No. She is a Tory; how could she?
“Primal Scream are totally opposed to the coalition government, Cameron, Osborne, Gove, Howard, Clegg etc. They are legalised bullies passing new laws to ensure the wealthy stay wealthy, taking the side of big business while eradicating workers? rights and continuing their attacks on young people, single parents and OAPs by slashing education and social security budgets, in effect persecuting the poor for being poor.”
The statement ends with Primal Scream pointing out that they see Tories as their enemy:
“We would like to distance ourselves from this sick association. The Tories are waging a war on the disenfranchised, they are the enemy.”
Of course, the mistake Theresa May made was that she didn’t use the sprightly “Bomb The Pentagon” recorded by the band, as that would’ve been about as appropriate wouldn’t it?
Lovely.

And I thought I couldn’t possibly love those little scallywags any more than I already did. Bobby, I salute thee.

This reminds me of the Christmas advert M&S ran a couple of years ago with Shirley Bassey singing “I’m coming up, so you’d better get this party started”.

Oh, and Labour are so great??? Did the tories bail out the banks? nope. Did they enslave the next future three generations to serfdom? nope. Did they inflate house prices by an extra 200% between 1998-2008, therefore pricing out millions, increasing living costs and causing a bubble that has pretty much triggered the next Great Depression?
Tony Blair a left winger? bwahahahahaha..
Bobby, shut your mouth. Your band are sh!te. One good album… Stick to hanging out with that ugly Croydon minger. Tosser.
