Eric Claptop, 1976: "Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands. Wogs I mean, I’m looking at you. Where are you? I’m sorry but some ###### wog…Arab grabbed my wife’s bum, you know? Surely got to be said, yeah this is what all the ###### foreigners and wogs over here are like, just disgusting, that’s just the truth, yeah. So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country. You ###### (indecipherable). I don’t want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should vote for Enoch Powell. Enoch’s our man. I think Enoch’s right, I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white. I used to be into dope, now I’m into racism. It’s much heavier, man. ###### wogs, man. ###### Saudis taking over London. ####### wogs. Britain is becoming overcrowded and Enoch will stop it and send them all back. The black wogs and coons and Arabs and ###### Jamaicans and ###### (indecipherable) don’t belong here, we don’t want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don’t want any black wogs and coons living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man. We are a white country. I don’t want ###### wogs living next to me with their standards. This is Great Britain, a white country, what is happening to us, for ######’s sake? We need to vote for Enoch Powell, he’s a great man, speaking truth. Vote for Enoch, he’s our man, he’s on our side, he’ll look after us. I want all of you here to vote for Enoch, support him, he’s on our side. Enoch for Prime Minister! Throw the wogs out! Keep Britain white!"

I never liked his music.

I never liked his music.

There's something wrong with you then.

[one...two...tree 2,762]

There's something wrong with you then.

Probably, because there's a lot of critically-acclaimed music that I could never get into, and he was one of them. I like blues though, just not his rendition of it.

in interviews, he's said he just thought the whole thing was funny. but it wasn't, and isn't. at least david bowie owned up to and regretted the similar stupid he pulled right around the same time.

Bowie later retracted and apologised for his statements, blaming them on a combination of an obsession with occultism, the Thule Society and Friedrich Nietzsche, as well as his excessive drug use at the time. He said: "I have made my two or three glib, theatrical observations on English society and the only thing I can now counter with is to state that I am NOT a fascist."[9]

lol @ blaming Nietzsche though. Oh, David Bowie.
