Radio 4, any questions?

[JE:5]

Did anyone catch Any Questions? on radio 4 earlier today? one of the panelists was David Blunkett and the last question was Benjamin Zephaniah said that reggae dancing will become the new national dance to replace morris dancing, what do you think about that? (or something along those lines) to which Blunkett replied something like 'we'll probably have a hybrid of the two, we'll be drinking dandelion and burdock to reggae music and smoking crack to morris dancing music'! WTF!

thats settled it for me now, that blind one offda x factor and now blunkett.
i been saying for weeks that x factor dude is evil but i thought it was just him, obviously its all blind people.
i knew there was a reason 'peters and lee' made me feel iffy when i was growing up, now i know. EVIL

he's just the blind twin, who's the evil one. The other one can see and is good as gold - likes raving and everything.

probably up to evil of some sort and had his eyes poked out by god

Hahaha no fucking way! He also got a coating from the listeners for telling Jonathan Dimpleby to "sod off"

There is actually already some ALMOST reggae morris dancing music - in the 80s, Edward II & The Red Hot Polkas (a fucking gross name - the original King Edward II was killed for being gay by having a red hot poker stuck up his arse) had their folk-polka stuff remixed by Mad Professor dubwise stylee.

obviously the references to blind people as evil are funny 'jokes' that no one actually means. i hope.

morris dancing, as far as i am aware, is a contraction of the original name, MOORISH dancing. it was undertaken by travelling bands of Moors (from north africa - othello was a Moor) across europe. hence why morris dancers always have at least one blacked-up member.
