Share it! Brilliant @peterhook . This is the way in 2026. No more staying silent. The music industry needs total transparency and individuals can't hide the FACTS!!!
New Order's new company made £7.8 million in its first 4 years after Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert re-formed the band in 2011 without their bassist, Peter Hook. Hook, who owned a quarter of the old company, got 1.25%.
About £97,500, for the man who started Joy Division with Sumner in 1976.
In the video below, Hook says: "You can't just take 31 years of someone's life and suddenly decide how much they're going to profit from it." Now 70, he is still "really hurt by what they did to me and my family."
In 1992 the 4 of them set up a company to own the name, 25% each. Hook calls his 2007 exit a split, where everyone keeps a share. They say he left, and leavers usually keep none.
His barrister called the 2011 move "clandestine, premeditated and deliberate" and put his loss at £2.3 million. They settled in 2017 and never said how much.
The case for Sumner, Morris and Gilbert: Hook still gets his full share of royalties from the old records. "He left the band, and then he complained about leaving the band," Sumner said.
If your band's name sits in a company, write down what "leaving" means. That word decided whether Hook kept 25 cents in the dollar or 1.
So did New Order carry on after Hook walked away, or move the name so 31 years of his work paid him 1 cent in the dollar?
I post one famous deal like this every day, with who got paid, who got played, and the numbers that never made the poster.

A video that Netanyahu does not want the world to see
Let the world know by sharing this
Tens of thousands of anti-Zionist Jews and Dozens of Rabbis gathered in the Barclays Center in New York City to say that the Zionist regime is a criminal and occupying gang and does not represent the Jews.
Anti-Zionist Jews are not fringe, not Small.

Anonymous megadonors have spent over $1 billion to buy the 2026 election.
Elon Musk has spent over $90 million.
Billionaires buying elections is not democracy—it's oligarchy.
ENOUGH.
We need to end Citizens United, get super PACs out of primaries & publicly fund elections.

This country is in the grip of a child abuse and domestic abuse epidemic.
Every day across England, women and children are raped, abused and beaten.
In most cases, the perpetrators have never been anywhere near a small boat or a dinghy.
Please wake up.

Reform's idea of 'two -tier policing' seems refreshingly simple: our scandals don't count, your Instagram tag is a police matter.

It would be a shame if this was RT widely
I have never said this before because I despise the man, but I remember Andrew Tate from London’s nightlife. This photo reminded me. I ruled over those scenes, north, south, east, central and west, going to anything happening to find interesting people to bring to my own clubs. Tate was a regular on the tackier end of it all. He would turn up topless, sit in the corner and say hi, never once having a problem with someone like me. Had no problem with the Trans girlies and the gays. When he became famous for his far right clickbait antics, my first thought was that this was the guy who used to nod at me kindly across a club. There are photographs of him from those nights and I suspect some more of them will surface one day. Back then nobody had problems with anyone however the club scene was misogynistic and a playground for sex pests, I fended off many of them over the years for both myself and my friends. We all said hi and got on with the night… it was very ego driven, a hierarchy of who had the best tables and usually that was me. I still wonder what happened to him. Maybe he believed this stuff all along. Maybe years of hedonism curdled into something else. My own suspicion is that he realised he could clickbait the hell out of young men and old fools into paying him or being paid well by ads, then sold himself to himself and started believing the hype..
I’m glad the ba ll sac has been arrested and will face the charges. It’s so much worse than I thought.

A few days ago, Dr Hussam Abu Safiyeh said these words to his lawyer: “This is the last time you will see me...they brought me here to kill me. I don't see myself surviving. This is the end”.
This man is a paediatrician.

🚨Allegedly Adam Brooks AKA @EssexPR has removed all reference to Ryan Bridge and Ben Cullen from his X account. Wonder why?
Oh and don't repost this pic, it makes Adam very, very angry!

I have just over 4,000 followers. Even if just half of you share Mahmoud's story and fundraiser over your social media platforms we could bring in the much needed donations to not only feed Mahmoud and his family but provide for those in his camp as well.
