    coincidently mal posted something about mark e smith yesterday

    anyway mes on bernard manning

    CM: What makes you laugh?
    MES: Bernard Manning makes me laugh.
    CM: Are you being serious about Bernard Manning or are you being amazingly sarcastic?
    MES: No, I think he's funny. He can tell jokes, y'know.
    CM: Yeah, but I mean his views are absolutely appalling.
    MES: Appalling?
    CM: Yes, the stance that he takes on women... absolutely appalling.
    MES: Well, I haven't noticed.
    CM: He's an amazing misogynist.
    MES: Is he?

    MES: It's good to have a laugh at things like that.
    CM: Yes, but don't you thnk there's something more dangerous and insidious than that?
    MES: What he's say is laugh it off. If you live in that part of Manchester you never even see a woman. You know, why doesn't Ben Elton tell any racist or sexist jokes?
    CM: Because he knows it's a dangerous thing.
    MES: No, because he doesn't fucking know any!
    CM: I'm sure if he wanted to he could buy a book.
    MES: Yeah you tell me something funny Ben Elton said, I'll give you a thousand pounds.
