Summary
Details

"He is 100% ""anti woke, anti snowflake and 100% anti f
*
*
*ing politically correct"" as he puts it (""Hell, if you can't poke fun at yourself and then poke fun at the shit people that blight society, there's no point in having fun at all""). It's a biography. It's a diary. It's a music history lesson. It's all three things wrapped up and more. Added with savage, sarcastic humour, this is the story of a former punk as told from a non-Caucasian alternative point of view, his time involved in London's punk rock scene and abroad throughout the entire 1990's and up to the early Noughties. How there was, despite the fun and laughs, a more sinister side which is never mentioned, along with the hypocrisy and the occasional violence that tagged along with it. No holds barred. Warts an' all. It will shock. It will be disgusting. It will make you laugh and then it will leave you emotionally detached. WARNING - some material will be likely to offend.

A Punk Rock Diary. No holds Barred. Tells it like it is. Fun. Humourous. Disturbing."
