What the World Needs Now

Public Image Ltd.
Whether you think the world needs another Public Image Ltd record depends entirely on how you feel about John Lydon. The cantankerous master antagonist rarely invokes an ambivalent reaction in people: it’s either love or hate. The fact he’s been creating an array of startling, throttling sounds for nearly 40 years is, sadly, almost a sideshow.
Public Image Ltd’s tenth studio album finds Lydon as restlessly aggressive and sardonically astute as ever. On taut, bass heavy cuts like “Bettie Page” and “Double Trouble” he confronts society’s ills through ugly sonic caricatures driven by his own growling, snarling impressionism.
Sonically, it’s a dark and moribund affair—“C’est La Vie” is an especially impoverished post-punk funeral march—yet occasional jaunty rhythms, such as “The One,” offer a glimpse of a man happy in himself, if not the world around him. It may never swing people’s perceptions, but these 11 funk-stained numbers prove John Lydon is still as relevant and necessary as he has ever been. (www.pilofficial.com)

Fully vaccinated travellers returning to England and Wales from France will still have to quarantine from Monday.
From 19 July, adults who have been double jabbed in the UK arriving from amber list countries will not need to isolate for 10 days.
But the government said the easing would not apply to France due to “persistent” cases of the Beta variant, first identified in South Africa.
