Steve Iggnorant always like a good laugh...especially when I told him my band Rubella Ballet had decided to all dress in Zillahs home made Day-Glo clothes and play live under only a black UV light so it goes all psychedelic................The picture was taken by my good friend Richard Heslop, we were both 19, we were both part of the hardcore Adam & the Antz army, I even lived four doors down the same street as Adam in Queensway drive, Notting Hill Gate, London 1978/79 and spoke to him regularly after gigs at the Gate Cinema bar in Notting Hill Gate, west London and had been to nearly all the early Antz gigs in London late 1978 early 79 until we went to the first gigs Crass ever did in London in 1979.............................It was just something so different, it was what we were searching for, we were two rebelling punk skateboarders with bleached blonde hair and red and black make up on one eye with the Adam & the Antz T.shirt....see pics below.............we were also searching for girls which is where I met Zillah and four of her mates, she came up to me at one of the first Crass gigs, Conway hall, London 1979, I was at with Richard and Zillah asked me if there were any parties after the gig and I looked at Richard and we both said "Yeah follow us" we then proceeded to take them back to our flat in Zillah's car.......There was no party and the girls sussed us out right away........but we were the master of all that was punk parties and said "wait outside for 15 minutes” which they agreed...............We emerged 20 minutes later slightly out of breath and said it was ready..........The girls walked in and pissed themselves laughing at what we thought was a work of art and the most punk thing ever...........it was in-fact a flat that we had painted gloss black, over everything except the bed and carpet, with one light bulb in the corner..................The girls laughed for ages and we all had a great party coz Richard had the best record collection ever and wicked sound system, the girls loved it, we partied all night and we have all hung out ever since ...........28 years to be exact........................Me and Zillah were also at the infamous gig that Crass asked the audience to get on stage and have a go at playing music, I had a go on Penny's drums and Zillah went on the mic and we made up a whole bunch of noise for a while which at the time sounded great.........and that was the start of Rubella Ballet I suppose.........................It was also at Dial house that I used Penny’s drum kit in their rehearsal room to write the music and drum beats for Background to malfunction and Sick Butchers (B-Side) and to add some dynamics to the now massive hit Tube Disaster by Flux of Pink Indians. The answer to a lot of peoples questions to why I left FOPI after Tube Disaster and a few gigs is because (Official Answer) it was getting a bit hardcore playing in the support band and the headline band on the same night and Rubella Ballet had more gigs and was the band I started before I joined Flux....................in the photo section there are rare photos of me playing for Flux sent to me by Neil one of Flux’s first guitarists. STEVENAGE BOW'S LINE HOUSE 1980 RUBELLA & FLUX. THIS THE GIG WHERE I LEPT OFF STAGE FOR A PISS HALF WAY THROUGH FLUX'S SET, I REMEMBER PULLING THE CHAIN AND THE CROWD CHEERING AS I RAN OUT AND DIVED ONTO THE STAGE TO LAUNCH INTO TUBE DISASTER, SICK BUTCHERS AND BACKGROUND TO MALFUNCTION WHICH THEY PLAYED AT THE FEEDING OF THE 5000 SHOW WHICH WAS AWESOME..... ....................

THIS IS HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE ALL THE TIME....ALL OVER THE WORLD....NO DIFFERENT TO NAZI STORMTROOPERS WHO NOW FACE PROSECUTION FOR WHAT THEY DID.... TAKE PICTURES OF POLICE BRUTALITY...FILM THEM....YOU TUBE IT......THEY NEED TO BE EXPOSED....WE ARE LIVING IN A POLICE STATE...YOU CAN CHANGE THE FACE OF YOUR WORLD WITH DIRECT ACTION AND HUMILIATE THESE OPPRESSORS.....YOUR OPPRESSORS.....THIS IS YOUR WORLD......IF DON'T LIKE WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO IT MAKE YOURSELF HEARD AND CHANGE IT........IF YOU VOTE OR NOT AND YOU DON'T LIKE HOW YOUR CITIES ARE BEING RUN, HOW YOU ARE BEING TREATED....CHANGE IT, BLOGG ABOUT IT, MYSPACE IT.....WE HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED INTO THINKING WE HAVE A EQUAL VOICE BY VOTING........WRONG...IT IS JUST A WAY OF KEEPING TRACK OF YOU AND SEEING HOW THE BRAINWASHING IS WORKING PROPERLY...(If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything. Malcolm X.).......I (SID) FEEL IT IS NOW A NORMAL WAY OF LIFE AND NOT A TRENDY OPTION AT THE WEEKEND TO BE MILITANT ABOUT THE TREATMENT OF ALL LIVING THINGS BY ANYONE INCLUDING THE SAME SYSTEM THAT CLAIMS IT IS WORKING FOR AND ON BEHALF OF YOUR WELFARE, WHEN ACTUALLY IT COULDN'T BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH......DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AS I DID.....MAKE YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS FROM WHAT YOU SEE HAPPENING AROUND YOU....DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT ASK YOUR FRIENDS WHAT THEY THINK.....(Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. Malcolm X.).......SEND THIS ON TO HEIGHTEN THE AWARENESS OF THIS BLATENT AND RAPIDLY INCREASING VIOLATIONS OF YOUR HUMAN RIGHTS .ME AND ZILLAH HAVE BEEN PEACEFUL ACTIVISTS FOR THIRTY YEARS AND FEEL THROUGH OUR DIRECT PEACEFUL ACTION WE HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO A LOT OF FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES THE SYSTEM HAVE NOW BEEN FORCED TO COMPLY WITH BY LAW TO CHANGE BY INDEPENDENT GOVERNING BODIES.....THIS ONLY HAPPENS BY ONE VOICE BEING HEARD AND OTHER PEOPLE WITH A VOICE HAVING FRIENDS ALSO WITH A VOICE TO BE AS EQUALLY HEARD..... THERE IS AN ALTERNITIVE LIFESTYLE OUTSIDE OF THE ONE YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD.....THE BOTTOM LINE IS WE (SID, ZILLAH & RUBELLA BALLET) NEVER AGREE WITH VIOLENT ACTION BY ANY ONE EVER TO ANYONE OR ANIMAL......YOUR VOICE IS THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON FOR PEACE, REASON AND CHANGE.....We who in engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. Martin Luther King, Jr).....YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHANGE EVERYTHING BIT BY BIT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO....IT'S UP TO YOU AND YOUR VOICE AND DIRECT NONVIOLENT PEACEFUL INTELLIGENT ACTION THAT WILL BE HEARD AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE...... (The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people. Martin Luther King, Jr.)......We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war but the postive affirmation of peace. Martin Luther King, Jr..."http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vbXlzcGFjZXR2LmNvbS 9 pbmRleC5jZm0/ZnVzZWFjdGlvbj12aWRzLmluZGl2aWR1YWwmdmlkZW9pZD0 xNjcyMTQwMg=="Unknown Hero

This is fucked up. I can't believe that no-one has worked out that people with uniforms on are abusing 13 year old girl in PUBLIC and calling it Law Inforcement.
