Is Pirate Radio Still A Thing?

7/9/2024

You would think that fans of the original land based pirates in the UK would be keen that the legacy of those stations is also remembered. What better way than doing that than giving a big thumbs up to those who keep the free radio flag flying over the big cities of our country today!

Yet over the last two decades rather than support them, an awful lot of older anoraks have derided such stations, following the mantra of OFCOM, BBC, and commercial radio stations that they are all a bunch of drug dealers, illegal party messengers, and basic criminals.

Just like Tony Benn calling the sixties offshore stations 'pirates that should be outlawed' and the persistent attempts of the Post Office and the DTI to shut everything land-based down from the seventies on-wards (and of course the eighties offshore stations) most older anoraks today seem to have switched sides and agree these are 'not real pirates' and must be silenced.

I say most, because not everyone swallows the propaganda of our wonderful authorities, and the closet and sometimes very open racist opinions of narrow minded individuals that simply want shot of them because they are the wrong colour, or that the music they play is just a noise (do any of you remember hearing that about pop music in the sixties?).

However FM free radio is still about as last years video below confirms.

Are they some sort of left wing pressure groups, like drug addicts or Grimsby Trawler train spotters (anoraks)

The only towerblockheads worth talking about are Caroline, Laser, The Edge, Atlantis and RNI tribute relay stations. For foreign we allow LV LW Mi Amigo for their filthy Spanish money only in August when we English bread are away in Benidorm getting brown

I miss Radio Caroline Very South in Bennie from 14 years ago. I would have thought that format would have been a great ex pat holiday success with all the traditional English grease shops that Lee Davey likes to go and stick his nose in. I don't know why it stopped as suddenly as it had started. PM allowed the name

I have now left an edit contribution on the Talk page related to the Wikipedia article for Radio Caroline - pointing out that it 1960s section is 100% fake.

Now let's see how long it takes for the Anoraks to claim that my edit is fake and that Norcros is spelt with two 's', and that Jimmy Ross did fund Radio Caroline but that his name was really Carl Johnny Ross of Ross Frozen Foods.

The entire 1960s article segment about Radio Caroline on Wikipedia is fake, so I did not try to change or delete the article, merely point out that it is fake with regards to the 1960s.

In the past Anoraks have deleted and denounced me in order to preserve and promote the big lie of Rusling-Clark and now Malcolm Smith.

How long will it take them this time?

How very dare you!!!

Careful, you will upset the disciples of Ronan. The trouble is that the truth is not for all, and choosing the myths is like keeping a hold of their comfort blanket.

8/9/2024 05:22:22 pm

It wasn't anoraks who rejected your submissions previously, it was the moderators who rejected your proposed amendments because you failed to provide reliable, published evidence. You got the hump, accused them of collusion and they banned you for disruptive editing.

Dear Mister Wrong or Miss Wrong or just Plain Wrong

It was the fanatical Anoraks - and one in particular now DEAD (praise the Lord of Truth!) who kept reversing every correction. But since when does academia require someone to prove a negative to establish a positive?

Only in la la Anorakville now managed by Rusling-Clark-Smith.

It's deja vu all over again

Pirates
They still exist but less so now, internet radio took over. Why risk police and legal issues when you can just broadcast through the internet. A lot of prominent stations went "official" as well (e.g rinse).

That said, pirates are absolutely, without a doubt at all, an instrumental element of British urban music culture for decades. You really cannot understate their impact - you have to remember that mainstream radio was not going to be playing your latest grime anthem, or the underground garage hits, or the jungle riddims you're blasting our your window. The pirates were.

Dubstep and grime for example both flourished on pirates. Early grime in particular wasn't really about releasing tunes, it was about raves and (pirate) radio. the scene would be very different without them.

Did raffles really survive quarantine and retire to Margate?

"Posted by AgB on September 13, 2024, 2:15 pm
A 23 page report/study into government financial plan to stop radio Caroline in the1960's,click explore more content for full document."

AgB this is NOT anything more than a monograph similar to the monographs published at http://foundthreads.com - including one about Radio Caroline.

In fact, the monograph you cited is a POORLY research document. What the hell do you think it has taken the 'Trio' over 10 to reseach after reading the IEE book 'Radio Man'?

This is just another stupid bit of sloppy academia of the kind that put Carl Johnny Ross of Ross Frozen Foods as the financier of Radio Caroline - according to Wikipedia and the Anoraks who refuse to correct that rubbish.

AgB you need to get off the GB Board and stop making a FOOL of yourself.

AgB = YOU ARE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU ARE TOTALLY STUPID!

13/9/2024 06:36:04 pm

From the AgB recommendation for us all to get educated about Radio Caroline ...

From pages 6 and 7 ....

"It was set up as a private company by band manager Ronan O’Rahilly to provide airplay for the music of the rock bands he managed and the recorded music of other rock musicians including The Beatles, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, Eric Burden and the Animals, and The Yardbirds (Chapman, 1992; Lodge, 2010).

The BBC limited the airplay time for rock music because of the Needletime Agreement and its programming choices (Lodge, 2010).

Named after the daughter of the President of the United States, Caroline Kennedy, Radio Caroline, played non-stop rock music. "

AgB by promoting this rubbish YOU are one of the biggest idiots posting on the GB site.

Maybe you didn't follow your own advice to Anoraks and actually READ the academic rubbish written by two students.

I think that you got the idea that this is some sort of official government document - which just goes to show how totally stupid you are!

If you think I am angry that you are continuing to promote this stuff, you got that right!

Hello,

This book has been mentioned but I don't as a rule say much about it as I threw it together and I ain't proud of it only that it set out what I knew and what I thought at the time, this being 1992.

I started a manuscript called Twelve More Difficult Years, but lost interest and tore it up.

More recently I started again and had to find a new title namely 38 More Difficult Years. To indicate my much changed thinking and experiences I incororated ' Butterfly ' in to the new text.

Whether I will ever finish it or be able to or dare to publish it is an open question.

Despite turning 60 this year Caroline Kennedy - better known as the First Lady of Pirate radio lovers - will forever be preserved as a 5-year-old girl.

In 1963 the writers of Queer Queen said they created the character to "kick back against pre-war societal norms".

"She's still fearless, and she likes to create a bit of trouble too," said her current illustrator Laura Laughs Clark sporting his Frankie says Relax T shirt

"The 1960s aren't really known for being a shining beacon of feminism," the Birmingham-based artist Princess Margaret is alleged to have said to Paul the Younger, stenographer of the Royal Court, in her legendary defence of the headless man of Greenore in the Tony Benn tom foolery show trail in 1967

A talented public can, and public orator who given an audience could turn laser night into rob daylight, Paul took the Lady at her word and forged a career writing books about sweet fanny Adams and his love for raking muck over the garden of Lady Caroline's Estate

"So a little girl who won't be told what to do and considers herself tougher than all the boys around her, was quite a thing.

"She will always be the wild one, the one who senses fun in everything."

Full half page article also available in TV Times this week, with a picture of Dame Maggie Smith, looking like the schoolmistress roles she always played, while spanking Earl Rob Proctor for giving away the secret that only grown up music is played at Eton

Yes it is still a thing. A very big thing indeed. The origin of all pirate radio things. And the new calendar is out. Are you a real fan or a moth eating up cloth

Your Garry post is back on top again ....

Posted by Scottg on September 16, 2024, 8:40 pm

Peter M, on your site about Radio Caroline History, this is totally INACTURATE of how all reports of (mainly in newspapers) of the 1960s (remembered as) Radio Caroline was conceived. You have given your experience with ROR over many years, and the outcome is deception. The myths have got to stop for your control of 648kHz, you have my phone number. Before (should I continue with a new thread), Jocelyn Stevens, with others, (as not revealed in Offshore Echos), it was NOT ROR, but he was somehow involved via Greenore, and afterwards in the programing side of the original station. Scottg.

-------

Okay, a challenge for you Scottg.

In the past both you and Agb have attacked the ongoing research project that is still attempting to uncover the real story behind the creation of Radio Caroline in 1964.

Now you are promoting the very same information.

Clearly your knowledge is limited because a lot of the new data has not been put on line, and Chris Edwards who was partnering in this research, bailed out when he feared that he was about to scuttle his own OEM with newly discovered information which totally destroys the claims of Ronan O'Rahilly.

Now you can also see the problem that Chris has created for himself and the huge problem that Malcolm Smith has created for himself - because he is in danger of his own words being used against him to sink his Charity scam (it is built upon a lie - a fraud).

That being the case, and since you offered to work with Malcolm Smith, why not work with the party that is actually being honest and telling the truth?

You can do this by letting Mike know IN PRIVATE of your response.

Your move.

Mervyn, let me be clear, I listen to Radio Caroline 648kHz, and acknowledge how the station is funded. Everyone involved should be appreciated, DJ's (which some should be replaced), the engineers (who finally made the Harris DX25U reliable), and the installation of the Optimod 9200 which made listening in the service area and beyond acceptable. Well done to everyone in providing a reliable service for almost seven years on 648kHz am. Mervyn, you seem to offering an olive branch. I gave you some unknown information over 4 years ago, and you claimed it as your exclusive. After that I posted in another board in conjunction with your board. Your response was that I was an idiot., and insults have continued since. Maybe you should adjust, with your well brought up language, art school etc, and your excellent knowledge of literature and words. You put so many people down because of the classification of Academia. An Englishman, fast talking with brash of an adopted Texan, doesn't bother me. I know that the early reported history is wrong, and city business men were behind it. I do expect an apology from you. Watch the board that I normally post on, you may learn a bit more (and others to). Scottg.

27/9/2024 08:43:07 am

I tell the truth. Your justification of Malcolm is stupid, and your clam to have been first with inforrmation is idiotic.

The reason for the "olive branch" is because you appear to be on the verge of admitting your stupidity, which along with all of the other Anoraks - such as Paul Rusling - has COST us money (and time.)

You on the other hand want a free ride.

No go.

You would have been better off seething than posting that drivel. You could have contacted Mike, just as you asked Malcolm Smith to call you privately by phone.

But no, you are still trying to pretend that sans spending a lot of money and years of research you know it all. That makes you an idiot (still.)

Chris Edwards did legwork and found a smoking gun that he did not want to find because it blasted the premise of OEM into smitherines. What's your excuse?

You are the one who posted a message on the Garry site, and you are the one telling Malcolm Smith that his account of Caroline is untrue.

Sometimes in life it is better to say "oops!" I made a mistake, and move on. You can still do this but your response sort of implies a question about your own sincerity - especially when compared with what you wrote in the past.

However, this is just a mere side-issue. If you are interested the offer still stands, but if not, just keep quiet, after all, if you remember, we did discover who you are as a human person .....

Old Porkie Pye stories found to be past their sell by date

29/9/2024 03:00:01 pm

Queenie Caroline, a quarterly comic for boys under 144, had the added appeal of a back cover which featured a cut out doll with paper clothes which could be attached to their imagination

Its most popular story was The Four Seasons, drawn by Ian RNI Ruse, which appeared from its creation in 1962 to its end in 1992 .

A quintessential English boarding school story, it was also a nod to J Walter DC Thomson’s Scottish base, and the ladies in waiting of Mary Queen of Scottg.

Whether it was the lottery ads or the religious gifts. The con was hugely successful. The Dandy man first broke the one million mark in 1966 but by November 1991, sales were over two million short. It was also the first title to issue Christmas annual leave, to the remaining crew of five in Dover

Jackie went on to sell out over a million listeners a week. Keeping you moving on the dial in South West London

The adverts date back to a time when people bought their favourite publications from a postman on a particular day of the week. Or a brown paper envelope from BCM Box 66 Wopper Tallstory, Blackpool, Germany. With EU Common Market All Europe Radio Coupons not Brexit excepted as payment and dispatched from Belfast, home of the legendary first SOS radio ship Britannic Titanic Revenge

That era has gone, as have most of the publications advertised and sponsored by car batteries on Sunday mornings

Queenie Caroline printed its last edition in 1990 but it lives on in a number of the adverts which have now been digitised and can be viewed online at the Ray Sanderson Heroes Moving Image Archive, external or in person at the archive in Glasgow's AgB Hall of Fame.

This is just not the case. They are commodities to be passed around in rehabilitation for ratings and freak show interest

You brainwashed disgusting loon

What myself workers and partners have had to put up with over the last 7 years includes .

* Anorak loon flying to Barcelona and filming himself on twitter pissing on our office door

*Threats online to my wife

*Nutter turning up at our children's village school and hurling abuse at her

* PM bloging bullshit under a fake name that was revealed by our lawyers

* RC presenter emailing clients with fake allegations which resulted in costing him (PM) thousands in legal fees

* Ofcom totally aware of all of this and we're on the verge on pulling the plug on RC

* I have a file 2 inches thick of all the dirty tricks played my PM and his madmen

As for a bully 😤 suggest you look at you beloved leader.

Hi, good wishes to all. Personally this October 1st resonates with me as the day I got so fed up with the increasingly useless Opera browser that after a huge 7 hour struggle I finally evicted it from my PC and went Duck a go go by default. I don't doubt in 5 years that will be a lame duck as well but the phantom Opera was just close down diabolical. 800 bookmarks gone which has probably done me a favour and I view it as turning a new page. I don't recommend anyone installs that garbage. It will give you nothing but bad dreams and then some halloween candy crush

You're fine ROR. We're all good on here. Stroking Princess Margaret Moore's hair

It was just that a couple of postmaster generals came in commenting on the medium waves going on 'ells where' overseas and were not approved.

I thought it best that the Queen and my magazine didn't get involved with anything that could have legal consequences.

In 60 years time we don't want any bad offshore echoes in BBC text books and university libraries making our business smell like a piss up in a Yorkshire pub

Surrender!?

2/10/2024 04:57:23 pm

Before I start,

Roger T, please feel free to send Mr Burns my direct mail. I think you have it but I don't want to post it here.

Concerning the above and just as an example I did some time ago become so exasperated by the rantings of Mervyn Hagger that I spent a modest amount seeking legal advice from a specialist.

I was of course fizzing with indignation at his comments that I was a liar,fraudster, a taker of funds under false pretences and that his explosive expose would collapse my house of cards such that I would reap the whirlwind of my duplicity.

At the very least I wanted him to be made to stop.

The lady lawyer first said that the idea of sueing Mervyn, probably following the popular notion that the plaintiff/instigator i.e myself might get a handsome pay out from the defendant, was for the most part mistaken.

She said of course that nobody sits down with a lawyer expecting to lose but that such is possible. She also said that it was not possible to estimate the cost of getting the case to court and further that if it were not a black and white case in my favour I may not get an award of costs or an award of damages. The defendant, she said, may not willingly pay. I may have to employ Bailiffs. If the defendant was a man of straw, a legal term for ' not having a pot to piss in ' I may never get my money, but would have to pay her in any case.

I suggested a simple ' cease and desist' letter but she said that if Mervyn was indeed as deranged as I imagined, such a letter may drive him to even more extreme action/publishing.
Finally there was a matter of the harm done as in her view if the few people reading Mervyns comments equally knew that he was deranged, then my reputation had not actually been damaged and in any case could not be quantified.
I was advised to let the matter drop and I dropped it.

So in the recent angry exchanges on the Garry forum, which have suddenly disappeared ( though nothing truly disappears from the Internet ), the pastime of gainful litigation is not as cut and dried as someone would have you beleive.

PM.

Mervyn to Malcolm

2/10/2024 08:03:27 pm

Did you actually write that and post it somewhere else?

You should have added a confession that you are all of the things that you say that I said you are. Your legal advisor should have simply told you to quit while you are ahead.
.
Because Malcolm, a prostitute cannot sue for failure of someone to pay for illegal services, which means Malcolm, that as are a mere prostitute passing off lies for truth, and therefore you are in fact jerking yourself off

If Macolm, you really did write that post, you are so far gone down the road of conmanship, that you are now in an Orwellian state of mind where you seem to believe what you are writing is true. That being the case there is not much more than can be done to save you from yourself.

Not surrender, but pragmatism

2/10/2024 08:25:46 pm

I think the key points are that it's a waste of time, effort and cash going after someone who probably has no money, who nobody thinks has any credibility, who is commonly regarded as, shall we say, not the world's most rational individual, and whose ranting are read by a miniscule audience.

Do What?

3/10/2024 05:41:01 pm

Is Malcolm talking about himself here? Since he sold the Caroline brand down the river he should know all about miniscule audiences. Cant do RAJAR as that would blow his cover!

Not surrender, but pragmatism

3/10/2024 07:12:18 pm

For the benefit of the above who cannot read what is written, I clearly referred to Mr. Hagger and I am not Malcolm. Happy to clarify that for the hard of reading.

Hard Of Realising

It applies equally to Malcolm Smith and his steam radio enthusiasts tribute station. Just because a number of old boys from the past come back for some nostalgia, and a few awful presenters who are basically anoraks with ego's pretend they are DJ's does not make Malcolm's hobby the real deal.

Carry on in your ignorance

4/10/2024 10:08:01 pm

Check the schedules. Check the presenters. Get your facts straight. You haven't have you?

To Mr Pragmatism

4/10/2024 08:27:18 am

You wrote, "whose ranting are read by a miniscule audience."

How do you know that what is claimed is true or untrue - unless - YOU are a part of the "miniscule audience."?

Malcolm Smith reads the "ranting" - he consistantly says so in his posts. He is in need of a nappy change as a result, and what he fears may find its way before a gigantic, worldwide audience. He knows that the "ranting" is true.

Chris Edwards knows that OEM has a BIG problem if the "miniscule ranting" goes viral - becasue OEM is going to be exposed as a digest that was afraid to tell the truth.

As for the bucket-load of saps in Southampton who give money to support Malcolm's FRAUD, NO they are not in the "miniscule audience" and have no idea what Chris Edwards knows to be true but is afraid to hear and read any more of the facts.

Sad to say that Mr Pragmatic is an example of people who rush off to fight in someone's war and kill and maim people they do not even know.

Don't cry little anorak, you'll be dead by and bye. (Oh, you didn't know that you have a limited time on this Planet? Everyone does. If truth telling is part of the test for being here, you have a big problem. You seem to be running on empty.)
