Why I Fear What Labour Will Do to the Education System Sun Jul 28, 2024 11:00 | Stephen Curran
We are facing a radical agenda set by the progressive wing of the educational establishment, says Dr Stephen Curran. We should build on the past 14 years' foundation, not tear it down.

The Extreme Weather We?re Experiencing Is Not Man Made, According to the IPCC Sun Jul 28, 2024 07:00 | Mark Ellse
Day-to-day weather, with all its extremes, is "just weather", according to the IPCC. With their authority onside, we can shrug off the BBC's melodramatic climate reports and misinformation, says Mark Ellse.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5I wonder whether it did in fact start in Dublin. This Sunday Times article from August 30, 2009 about the making of this film does make the claim-
"The practice of wearing sleepwear in public first emerged in Dublin in the early 2000s and has become increasingly popular in some economically disadvantaged areas of the city. It has now spread to other Irish cities and been reported in Liverpool and Manchester."

However this comment (February 2, 2010) on the fashionpolice.net site suggests it has been going on longer-
"...and I have been forced to see it for at least a decade here in Canada"

Anyway, it seems the fashion police have been busy on the issue. As part of the moral panic Tesco finds itself in the equally doubtful company of the government of Shanghai-

It was being discussed in Dublin as far back as 2006-

Back around 1998 or so a man who worked with me wore his pyjama top to work because all his shirts were in the laundry.
Walking down the street in a pin striped suit and and a briefcase is ancient 20th century boring.
We Cyber Generation dress and tatoo ourselves differently to old fogies from the 20th Centuy.
would be interested in seeing that film,there are a lot local films that get overlooked,some of the best films i have seen are locally produced,and don't have the big names attached to them..
"We Cyber Generation dress and tatoo ourselves differently to old fogies from the 20th Centuy."
Oh yes, you are SOOOO original. Get off it, that is the most cliched line ever. Rock and roll era - rebelling against the pin stripe life. Hippie movement -rebelling against the pin stripe life. Punk. Heavy metal. Dance. Mods. Skinheads. Teddy boys. Goths. Emo.
What happens to all these people when they get older? Suits.
Yeah, punks and other pop groups rebel against bourgeois society every now and again. Some impressionable left theoreticians mention them in analytic articles about the struggle against bourgeois oppression - and the record producers, pop stars and flimflam boys smile at their wealth from the industry. Nothing changes. The ageing rockers wear suits, as somebody said. And live in castles. The Donovans, Mick Jaggers, and Beatles have given the acquisitive society the two-finger sign and worn their hearts upon their sleeves and been well rewarded.
The cynicism of the 'protest song' culture of the 1960s was well satirised by comedian Tom Lehrer with these lyrics:-
We are the Folk Song Army.
Everyone of us cares.
We all hate poverty, war, and injustice,
Unlike the rest of you squares.
If you feel dissatisfaction,
Strum your frustrations away.
Some people may prefer action,
But give me a folk song any old day. etc. etc.
If you won't give them socialism give them a song and a dance.
