Let me translate Sting: "Red Alert! The rubes don't believe our line of bull$hit any more!"

Who’s got the balls to tell their friends to call him Sting ? Cause at one point in his life, he had to remind them :

- Excuse me, from now on would you mind calling me ‘Sting’?
- F___ you! Yeah, my name is ‘Bite’ and this is my friend ‘Scratch’. Now get me a beer, Gordy!

He’s right - it is a very dangerous political climate - but not for the reasons he thinks.

Gordon got a degree in Teaching Studies, so he KNOWS science, by golly!

Thank you, science! Let's go, Sting!

What an idiot - a rich idiot, but an idiot nonetheless.

Sting wrote and performed a lot of good pieces, some with Police, some after that. I don’t like everything he did though. I recall getting one of the first Police albums as a cassette. It may have been Reggatta de Blanc, not sure. Sting was still experimenting with mixtures of Reggae and Rock.

There was one particular song on that album that was so atonal, so uneven and unpleasant to keep hearing, that I threw the cassette in the trash before hearing the rest of the album. Lots of yelling not singing on that one cut.

I had no hesitation in taking the vaccine. I'm old enough to remember kids in my street with polio who were crippled, and that disease was eradicated overnight with the vaccine,"

Notice any difference between "eradicated overnight" and the current shots? These are not vaccines.

Gordon joined the Democrats
He always was a little brat
He took his “vax” in the atz with all the other rats
Rehumanize yourself...

Police were an OK band until Sting decided to become a Holiday Inn lounge singer and bore people to death

Did Sting release another boring solo album?

Covid isn't Polio, Sting. I respect your musical ability greatly but as my dear Mother used to say, “better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than open it and remove all doubt”.

“I think we’re in a very dangerous political climate at the moment where the working class have felt abandoned by what they call the elite,” he told AFP on a recent trip to Paris.

“It has left them vulnerable to demagogues, to right-wing nonsense, fakes, snake oil salesmen.”

.... he sniveled, as he looked down his nose, sideways.

"I think we're in a very dangerous political climate at the moment where the working class have felt abandoned by what they call the elite,"

He is right about that, but is wrong about why that is a problem. If only the leftist, globalist overlords could once again win the trust of the proles.

The rest is just mindless rambling. "Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool..."

I remembered listening to an interview with Stewart Copeland, and he basically exposed Sting as a faux-intellectual who just likes to spout things out that make him seem smart, but he really isn’t in real life.

"...I'm old enough to remember kids in my street with polio who were crippled, and that disease was eradicated overnight with the vaccine," he continued.

I'm calling bullshite on Gordon.

If Sting is 70, he was born in 1951.

According to the BBC, in 1961 there were 707 acute cases and 79 deaths in the UK.

The population in England in 1961 was 52.7MM.

So Gordo had a 1.34 in 100,000 chance of having crippled kid with an acute case of polio on his street, at the age of ten.
