According to one Indian arts promoter more and more artists are turning their backs on Britain.Say it ain't so, Yaz! What will we do without Malian musicians, Caribbean dancers and Iraqi artists? Will we have to fall back on traditional British entertainment, as she fears?
These Tories, led by the Chipping Norton set, are obstinately philistine. Their idea of a great time is champers, tickets for Wimbledon and Henley.How awful....!
Clearly, there's only value in foreign cultures, eh Yaz? Never our own?
I do not wish to slander those Britons who are receptive, fair, internationalist and egalitarian, but am describing those who are not, and who contaminate the air, creating a fog of prejudice.*sigh* Yes, Yaz, if only everyone thought like you, eh? Who needs diversity after all?
That'll be me then. I was recently asked to a 'World Music Day' the response.

Did not go down well
Jesus H .. is Yaz the Spaz still around ?
ReplyDeleteI thought she'd done the decent thing and shot herself in the face ..
Clearly YAB doesn't like living here. I wonder why she doesn't fuck off back to Uganda?
ReplyDeleteCould it be because it is run by people who would be less tolerant of the crap she writes?
"Will we have to fall back on traditional British entertainment,"
ReplyDeleteYou mean like reading the Daily Mail, watching Emmerdale or Eastenders, dog fights, 'worrying' farmyard animals, alcoholism and incest? (I live in Norfolk)
Not that I think much of 'international culture' either for that matter.
And where will all the foreign artistes go who turn their back on Broken Britain?
ReplyDeleteHmmm... well, they could try Iran, or Soviet Russia or Commie China. They might even get a show or two in North Korea, entertaining the inmates.
The truth is 'art' goes where the money is. Wave a few fivers more and they'll be back. Especially the street entertainers, juggling begging bowls.
I'm sure she writes this shit simply to annoy and, in that, she succeeds admirably.
ReplyDeleteFor myself, I'd just as soon sit with a cup of Lapsang and translucent cucumber sandwiches listening to the Royal Marines band playing G&S. Followed by a plateful of scones.
Or a decent rock concert.
But Yaz, you can take your Mongolian nose music, your Tibetan throat singing and your Caribbean mime artists in wheelchairs and shove them sideways into your capacious bottom.
Just fuck off and leave us alone.
See? I told you she'd succeeded...
Prejudiced? She's thr fucking biggest of the lot.
ReplyDeleteIf Malian musicians, Caribbean dancers and Iraqi artists can earn a living plying their arts here, then that's great, provided people are paying for it of their own free will - a concept with which Yabba appears unfamiliar.
ReplyDeleteShe is obviously trolling to come out with such copious and continuous levels of gob-shite.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to hate this wretched 'woman' more than Jamie 'fat-poof' Oliver, and that's saying something.

You, Sir are a Scholar & a Gent of the highest degree ..
Your tastes are admirable & my cap is suitably doffed .. ;)
Some friends of mine actually invented "World" music by setting up WOMAD. Sigh, well it seemed like a good idea at the time...
ReplyDeleteNow though, although I like a lot of the music, I wouldn't be seen dead at WOMAD. Why? Because I hate the fuckin audience!
Smug self satisfied white watermelons, Tofu munching twats clad in Peruvian Pixie hats and multi culti cardies, inverse racists, who think anyone elses Kultcha is better than their own.

Aww, c'mon Rob .. that's stretching it a bit far ..
How can she possibly be prejudiced ?
She's Female & Effnick ..
Next, you'll be asking me to believe that Unicorns exist
Will we have to fall back on traditional British entertainment, as she fears?
ReplyDeleteNot if Metal bands, Testament (Native American) or System of a Down Armenian), tour here.
But probably they represent the wrong sort of 'diversity'
"Will we have to fall back on traditional British entertainment,"
ReplyDeleteYeah .. like Gobby old crone dunking (best you seek sanctuary now Yaz).. or Dwarf throwing .. or Gurning .. ;)
Dwarf throwing. Hmm. I attended a dwarf-throwing competition years ago in South Carolina. It was fascinating. The winner was a truck driver from Tennesee. It was a blissful win/win. They both got to be judges in the Chilli competition which followed. I, as a foreigner and visitor, was given the honour (honor, I suppose) of handing over the trophy to the happy duo. It was a perfect day.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that Captain Haddock would have enjoyed it as much as I did. Thanks for the compliment, Btw...
"...the response."As mush as I love your company and spending time with you. I would rather push knitting needles into my ears"

:D
"The truth is 'art' goes where the money is. Wave a few fivers more and they'll be back. Especially the street entertainers, juggling begging bowls."
And if it doesn't, we're not exactly worse off...
"She is obviously trolling to come out with such copious and continuous levels of gob-shite."
Maybe they use her columns purely as a training exercise for 'Indy' moderators-to-be?
