The Clash wrote “Somebody Got Murdered” after Joe Strummer saw a man stabbed to death over five pounds in London. The song captures the numb indifference around it. The Clash "Somebody got murdered" Live in Vienna 1981

🎶Although the song "Rock Lobster" was released in 1978, it only truly exploded onto the US Billboard charts after the band's wild, energetic live performance was broadcast live on SNL in 1980.

Reform UK’s #Makerfield Candidate @RobKenyonReform can’t answer a simple question. This isn’t new politics, it’s dodging simple questions. Share far and wide!

UNITED KINGDOM generated a seasonal record 26 billion kilowatt-hours from wind farms in the first three months of 2026 surpassing the previous record of 24 billion kWh in the same period in 2024.
