Just another news item that pxxxxxd me off !

In today's Sunday Times Culture supplement there was this article about a pop group back on the road after 15 years.

I would probably not even have bothered to read the article were it not for the fact that my eyes were drawn to a chap called Mick Jones who was wearing a rack of WW2 medals that I have reason to believe he is not entitled to.

Or is he ?

If he is, I wish he'd sell me a bottle of whatever he drinks to keep so young

Never heard of 'em, and now I have I wish I hadn't.
Quick look at their Wiki page shows the best chart place for a single is 11 and most singles are 80s/90s position. Just out to cause controversy to gain publicity I reckon.
I also reckon wearing medals you are not entitled to should be a criminal offence, anyone fancy getting a petition up to make it happen?

 

Isn't it an offence to wear medals you are not entitled to?

 

Isn't it an offence to wear medals you are not entitled to?

If it is already an offence who do we report it to?? And would anyone take notice???

 

ignore me post

 

here we go: BBC News - Is it illegal to wear medals you weren't awarded?

 

Wrong Band Clive.
BAD was indeed 80s , I saw them in Bristol . Mick Jones is ex-Clash.

blimey mate need some glasses

ignore me

 

FROM BBC SITE;
It's illegal if the intention is to deceive, to pretend to be member of armed forces, or a veteran

It's an offence under the soon-to-be superseded Army Act of 1955

Mmmm, he doesn't seem to be aiming to deceive, wonder what the law that supersedes the army act 1955 is?

 

He was born on 26 June 1955. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_Jones_(The_Clash)

 

Let's hound this dangerous individual too.........


Not sure that we are hounding anyone

Thanks for that, saved me looking him up and yes, born in '55 and therefore clearly not entitled to be so attired.

I note your comment:
It's only Rock & Roll...

and think I can understand your tongue in cheek comment but..................................

May I in turn pose you a question. ?

If the same Mick Jones were (perish the thought !) to join this forum and immediately after use an avatar that said "Moderator" and perhaps gave himself a line of green "thingies" to complete the picture would you ban him from the forum or simply say "It's only Rock & Roll ?

I would further ask you "Is there such a thing as accepted norms ?"

Puzzled, from Cockfosters.

 

I'm not entirely sure this lady is properly attired, she should probably do her buttons up:

Or maybe not..

 

Lemmy a Nazi?

 

It's only Rock & Roll...

'But I like it' as the Rolling Stones say

 

I think Mick Jones use to be in a band called the London SS before he was in the clash.
