Nationalise Grangemouth: The Bermondsey Joyriders start Scotland tour at plant town

Ineos. Grangemouth. Jim Ratcliffe.

He's finally reversed his decision to close half the plant, but how can one man hold a workforce and a nation to ransom? I can't think of a better argument for nationalising crucial infrastructure industries.

My friends The Bermondsey Joyriders are playing at Grangemouth, the first date of their Scottish tour showcasing their blisteringly passionate album, Noise and Revolution.

Above, the video I edited for them as inspired by the track, "Society is Rapidly Changing". Good luck, guys. And good luck Grangemouth.

Bermondsey Joyriders at The 100 Club: Rat Scabies joins line-up

Last night Loved One and I trekked to The 100 Club in London's West End to see our friend Gary Lammin (Cock Sparrer, The Little Roosters) debut the new line-up of his band, The Bermondsey Joyriders, which sees powerhouse drummer Rat Scabies (The Damned) join Gary and Martin Stacey (Chelsea).

A great energetic gig, Gary isn't a man for the slow ballade so Rat's Keith Moonesque slamming fits in nicely.

I've posted "All The Darkness" and my favourite Lammin song, "Football". Very apt on this Word Cup Final weekend. Oh, there's Germany's first goal ...



OK, one more. Here's the much-covered "Runnin Riot" Gary wrote an age ago when he was in Cock Sparrer in the 1970s.
