Headliners 2015

[Purple aki squat]

I was in London when she had that infamous interview with LBC, to say it was the worst and most cringeworthy political interview i have ever heard is an understatement, she has set the greens back years, i dont like the greens as have no desire to pay extra taxes in carbon taxes and have billions spent on windfarms, i want to see better roads, more trains, shorter waiting times to see a GP, tax cuts, the greens do nothing for me.

Osborne has done a brilliant job, turning the country around from a mess to a booming global giant.

Where i live, a middle class but not super prosperous area, 2 or 3 years ago i could walk into local restaurants on the day, now i have to book well in advance, sometimes 2-3 weeks ahead, shops are heaving with customers, every other car is a 2014 plate, things in this country are awesome right now.

The tories are the only party to leave more money in peoples pockets

Absolute bollocks.

Things are so awesome that food banks are over run.

Its obviously true they wont get a PM at the next election, or even more than 5 seats, but its disappointing that media perception leads to them being belittled by this oft-used phrase. I reckon with a great leader, Natalie is just trying to be another politician and is really bad at it (i do like her views though), the biggest left wing party in England could actually be taken seriously.

No left wing parties are taken seriously

I THINK IT'LL BE BLUR!

[A Guy Called Matt]

I THINK IT'LL BE BLUR!

I HOPE IT'LL BE BLUR!

A large number of foodbank users would not need a foodbank if

a) they did what was agreed with their JCP advisor and kept to their job application quotas and attended interviews, then they would not get sanctioned and would not need a foodbank

or

didn't waste their money on non essentials like big tv's, sky HD, drink, cigarettes, gambling etc, then they would have enough money for food

It is impossible to deny a and b exist, i know more than 1 person in each catergory, everyone does near enough

If it was down to me foodbanks would be banned for everyone except people who have passed a strict means test and have passed a home inspection to see there is no Sky, big tv, iphone, beer cans, cigarettes etc

Indeed but in my lifetime and yours only the tories or labour will supply the PM, none of the tree hugging greens and lib dems or the BNP in suits (UKIP), will ever have a prime minister, so if you hate the tories and want them out presumably you accept a labour government

Which is what you will get if we dont win in May

My 'life' time is very different to yours and to everyone else's. If it takes a Labour government or two while voting with my heart for the planet via the Green party to maybe get to some politics where people and the planet come before a need to gain wealth and status then so be it. I realise that some of their policies are a bit extreme but it will in my view unfortunately take a few extreme ideas where we are taken out of our materialistic comfort zones and planet destroying ways to eventually move humanity forward into a cleaner and more caring future. I apologise if that does not make sense. However, It's my birthday so I think I'm allowed at least one boo boo. Anyways, Stargazing Live is about to start. Taraaa!

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

BonScott there, getting the ethos of the festival boxed off....

[Woffy]

Anyone else have any new ideas or reasons behind their HEADLINER predictions?

[Amy Lawn]

I reckon we've given this troll all the response he needs (and more), no reason to entertain him anywhere beyond this point.

[A Guy Called Matt]

Have you decided not to pay your balance?

I fecking hope so.

Seriously this is the HEADLINERS THREAD - change the record.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

You're completely correct of course, the troll has been fed, i feel like I have let myself down by even making any sort of response

[A Guy Called Matt]

Anyone else have any new ideas or reasons behind their HEADLINER predictions?

I have no reason or ideas - I just hope it is P****** or Blur

or a mega surprise that will have the serious WOW factor.

Beyond that I really do not mind.

That's very very stereotypical, I already think that the political views you've been expressing lately have been making you look like a w*nker, but having had experience of gathering donations for a food bank and helping out at a local one, I can absolutely guarantee you 99% of the people who use them, aren't living a secret life of luxury whilst using that as a free means to food, it's patronising and very insulting for the people who have no choice but to turn to people's good will and charity to get by, I whole-heartedly disagree with your nasty tory opinion

EDIT: I apologise for biting and posting something completely un-G related and un-headliner related

I think, and hope, it might be The Stone Roses

Matt, you let me down, you've let eFests down...but most of all...you've let yourself down.

i have decided not to go in 2015 unless something amazing is announced before deadline day, seems unlikely sadly, but i intend to try again in 2016, i think there is a good chance AC/DC will do 2016 as they will still be touring, and who knows who else might turn up

I'm off to shout at myself in the mirror for a few hours, perpetuating the never ending cycle of awful Matts on eFests

[The Placid Casual]

I HOPE IT'S EITHER BLUR, PRINCE, TAYLOR SWIFT OR THE STONE ROSES YO!!!

Just go to an AC/DC show, as you're clearly not keen on Glastonbury

I used to work as an instructor/skills coach under Flexible New Deal, and trust me a large minority had no intention of working, just went through the motions or were disruptive, those that do want a job deserve help and support, those that dont dont deserve a penny of state money

Some of the people i encountered on Flexible New Deal would shock everyone

For some reason I read that in the voice of Michael Gove.

I don't want Blur by the way, last time was great so they should leave it that way.

that you have decided not to bother is the most amazing announcement so far.

[BonScott]

Just go to an AC/DC show, as you're clearly not keen on Glastonbury

I have tickets for 2 shows, i will likely go to more too, but i like the idea of combining AC/DC and/or some other classic rock acts with 5 days of getting pissed

I have around 10 artists i would go to Glasto in a heartbeat to see

AC/DC

Bowie

Led Zepp

The Who

Prince

Eminem

Eagles

Iron Maiden

Lady Gaga

Queen if they dumped this Adam Lambert idiot

The Struts

a few others too

How would that work?

[BonScott]

How would that work?

Get another lead singer, they did with Paul Rodgers

Lambert is cringeworthy, a "Stars In Their Eyes" Freddie

George Michael heading Queen i would queue up all night to see
