Punks attack WOMBLES

Anti Sectarian | 25.07.2006 13:59

Baseless lies and slander by a Colchester Punk Band.

According to the WOMBLES wikipedia site, they have been attacked by a punk band from Colchester calling themselves Obvious Anti Capitalist Bias.

"WOMBLES are referenced in a song by UK band the Libertines entitled "Time for Heroes". In the song Pete Doherty laments the death of style and tells us that there are few things more depressing than the sight of an English man in a baseball hat.

Less well known is a song by an abrasive Colchester crust punk band, Obvious Anti Capitalist Bias, called "Time for Ketamine". In which the singer laments the death of critical analysis within the "Anarchist" activist millieu. The song reaches a crescendo with the repeated screaming of "Antonio Negri can suck my balls" which fades away to distressed mutterings of "I'm reading Negri in a K hole, I'm dead inside.......". Whilst no group is explicitly named, it is believed that the lyrics were aimed at the WOMBLES and their fellow travellers. Rumours that this may lead to some serious "beef" with WOMRADE RAW have not yet been put to bed, and with the impending release of Obvious Anti Capitalist Bias's B side discography entitled "KET PEDALING NONCES WEAR WHITE" the rumour mill is hitting productivity quotas that would make be a Soviet middle manager blush."

One question, WHY? WHy attack people like the WOMBLES how are making a difference? Why pick petty fights with the good guys when there are millions of people out there eating in McDonalds and wearing Nike. The WOMBLES are about fighting capitalism, about giving people and alternative.

It really saddens me.

...deal. So what if someone slags off Negri. Empire is almost unreadable. I have no idea about Multitude, but I'm sure Negri can cope with this kind of critique. As for the Wombles, how about criticism based on their actions rather than some weird equation with Negri?!!!

OK I give up. Who's Womrade Raw? ( War ?) Are they an economics or critical studies lecturer? - the public must be told.

ps. a time for heroes was really shite. The geezer who wrote it must of been on drugs or something.

PPS. Both 15 to 1 and the 2006 University challenge semi final both had Wombles questions which I believe were answered correctly. The team got stuck on the CIRCA question...

Wombles are RESPONSIBLE for misinformation ATTRIBUTED to twilight

26.07.2006 05:18

Vicious psy-ops pursued by the RACIST imperialist dung eating running dogs of capitalism are being pursued by the WOMBLES, a deviant anarchist sect which refuses to follow the CORRECT PATH of religious purity as preached by the true REVOLUTIONARIES of twilight, Fathers4Justice and the Iranian government. The Wombles wish to abolish BORDERS, religion and human rights abuses - all counterrevolutionary demands of the IMPURE human rights movement, promoted through the filthy British Imperialist ZIONAZI press, operated from Tel Aviv.

Sectarianism is to be welcomed as it PERMITS mouth-foaming anti-semitism to clog up the DEVIANT humanitarian world of activism, and slave all efforts to the worship of Tehran.

In short, it apparently wasn't jack or any of the libcom collective, if you care. and don't think libcom's a load of shite because of this, its generally f*cking excellent.
