I've just found these on YouTube and had to pop them on here. One of the best concerts I've been to James:
I feel better for that.

Gordon Brown Speech-Sit Down by James
I was shocked to see some bloggers claiming that Gordon Brown came onto the platform today to "Sit Down" by Manchester band James.
Last year Big Gordy did the same thing at their conference in Manchester, and got this verbal volley from lead singer Tim Booth.
Is Big Gordy even more stupid than we thought? Or are some bloggers not quite as smart as they think?

James
As UKIP fade, and I move to the Libertarian Party, here is one from James, from a concert we went to just before Christmas:

Boris Was Right!
What a fantastic weekend. Caught up with my old mate Steve in Sheffield on Friday for a cracking pre-Christmas Chicken Madras, not far from Hillsbrough which is one of my favourite football grounds.
On Saturday I went to Bury to watch FC United beat the Scousers from Marine FC. If you don't know then Marine are based in Crosby, described as the 'posh' bit of Liverpool. That really means it's the part of Livrpool where the real Scousers go to burgle and rob off wealthier people than themselves.
Which reminded me how right Boris Johnson was when he savaged Liverpool a few years back, and how cowardly and hypocritical he was to grovel and apologise because the Scousers whinged. People from outside Manchester often ask why Mancunians dislike Scousers with such intensity. It's basically because they rob, steal, murder and maim each other then wallow in self-pity and victimhood and blame the rest of the world. Even when one of them is found guilty of attempting to murder a Bulgarian waiter Scousers organise a campaign and manage to turn him into the victim.
Mancunians on the other hand just enjoy a good party and having a good time. Of course the government puritans have now announced that Manchester has the highest level of drink related illness in the country, they always have to look for a negative! No, we just party harder than anywhere else. I'd rather die of cirrhosis in Manchester than an overdose of dodgy coacaine in Liverpool or a stabbing by a 10 year old Scouser on a mountain bike he'd pinched.
So what got me onto this train of thought? Apart from FCUM beating Marine it was going to see James at Manchester Central last night. We went for a Turkish meal before one of the best concerts I've been to, other than Morrissey, for years. The restaurants were packed with people going on to see James or to the Arena to see Elton John, typifying Manchester on a Saturday night. I couldn't help thinking that while Manchester was partying Liverpool would have been full of people buying cocaine from ice-cream vans and stabbing each other. Shame on you Boris.
Which reminds me of the old joke. What do Scouse girls use for protection during sex? A bus shelter.
And finally. Did you know that Sheffield, like Rome, is built on seven hills?
