No more proof is needed than seeing a failed cartoonist trying to claim that “Republican is the new punk”:
Now that the art nerds and punks just became the football jocks and prom queens, a new rebel is emerging from the wilderness. They are the new anti-establishment. One minority force bands together against every other branch of government swallowed by the Democrat octopus. The last evidence of a check or balance against the popular people are now the Conservative Republicans.
While on the other side of the Atlantic a failed politician is trying to claim punk for the Tories:
To update the debate, do you prefer Blair Mark One, the builder of the Big Tent, the soft-rock leader of the first term? Or do you prefer Blair Mark Two, the punk premier who’s happy to break up the party to get what he wants? I suspect Mary Ann’s preference is for the former, while mine is for the latter. And, as with the Sex Pistols, I may not agree with a word that’s said but I have to admire the style.
In the nineties we had to suffer through politicians reliving their youth through saxophone solos with Fleetwood Mac or bringing their guitar into Downing Street 10 and jamming with Oasis. Can we now look forward to pogoing with Dave and Boris?
