  • Paul & Alan Apperley arguably started the band in February 1977 before being joined by Robert Lloyd who inspired by seeing the Pistols moved from Cannock to Birmingham & then followed the Pistols around on their Anarchy tour. Arguably as The Prefects had existed, though never gigged, as early as '76 (first as Church Of England then Gestapo!). Rob's connections with the organisers of The Clash's White Riot Tour meant the Prefects joining The Slits & Subway Sect as support group for four dates. Good start.

  • "When the truth is replaced by silence," the Soviet dissident Yevgeny Yevtushenko said, "the silence is a lie." It may appear the silence is broken on Gaza. The cocoons of murdered children, wrapped in green, together with boxes containing their dismembered parents and the cries of grief and rage of everyone in that death camp by the sea, can be viewed on al-Jazeera and YouTube, even glimpsed on the BBC. But Russia's incorrigible poet was not referring to the ephemeral we call news; he was asking why those who knew the why never spoke it and so denied it. Among the Anglo-American intelligentsia, this is especially striking. It is they who hold the keys to the great storehouses of knowledge: the historiographies and archives that lead us to the why.

  • While in Athens Airport on Monday (05..01..09), Dek became ill and subsequently suffer from a heart attack brought on by a damaged artery and was rushed to hospital. After tests he had to have an operation yesterday (06..01..09) and is responding well, he's got colour in his cheeks and is looking a lot better. We don't know as yet when he will be recovered enough to come home, it's just one step at a time, so for now he's just got to take it easy…thanks to the hospital staff, the Athens punks and all of you who have sent messages of good will, we would collectively like to take this opportunity to thank you all … it means a lot.

    We will keep you posted on any further developments.
