To mark the publication of their new collection of writings, ruminations and measured rants : 'Like a Summer With a 1000 Julys', and nearly 50 yrs after the English Situs were expelled from the Situationist International, we interviewed original King Mob brothers Dave and Stuart Wise via skype (their mate Samia is just out of shot on right = filming hitch)….and then spent 3 months editing it down into this.

As late stage capitalism lurches between disaster and farce/the spectacle gets ever more pervasive/ever wobblier, King Mob's mix of irreverent situationism / 'street gang with an analysis ' approach remains a vital current, as critical of empty hipster oppositionism, robo Trotskyism and dead eyed Labourite reformism as it is of the entrenched elites dragging us towards an ever more uncertain future.
