Third once told me, completely out of the blue in the middle of a discussion on who was the best bassline DJ out of Jamie Duggan and Shaun “Banger” Scott, that his cousins and uncles are involved in the procurement, transit and onward sale of Eastern European teenagers into prostitution rings in Istanbul and Ankara. I didn’t quite know how to react to this information, but I stressed to him that I found such behaviour absolutely abhorrent, to which he started banging on about white Western males having no libidinal energy (Third was into this stuff way before Shiels) and that Western women have always preferred Turkish men. I haven’t spoken to him since.
Sadly, I guess this proves Third’s point.
