[DelStrainComedy]

Excellent anthem of youth. Truth and Punk sentiment.

[up2space]

[PaulBriden]

Where is this ?

[primate1234]

2 children and 1st grandchild on the way sunshine- go and knock someone out and justify it for the next 30 years, knuckle scraper.

[rabsmiff]

@primate1234 that's good going for a virgin...immaculate [conception].Pursey tasted my knuckles...and my cherry-red Doc Marten boots. Red blood from his face complemented the aesthetic effect.

[primate1234]

@rabsmiff Twatted any women lately, moron?

[rabsmiff]

@primate1234 have you actually ever DONE it with the opposite sex, asshole? Other than in your dreams?

[jago544643]

@primate1234 what ?

[deahanco]

raw, the best sound, 1977

[rabsmiff]

I achieved something of legendary status after giving Pursey a good kicking outside a pie-and-mash shop in South London in 1978......even today, pissed-up punks buy me drinks through this. Pursey himself labelled me a 'hard nut' in a Record Mirror interview of the time.

[harpo10]

@rabsmiff You are absolutely full of shit Rico Suave.

[harpo10]

@rabsmiff Why would you have any issues with Jimmy. He champions the rights of all people. Even hateful types like yourself. If you want to beat on somebody deserving, take a trip north and thump on Sarah Palin. Are you a Nazi or something?

[rabsmiff]

@harpo10 no, I can't stand the Nazis...an evil bunch. However, Pursey was despised by the original punks for jumping on the punk bandwagon [he wasn't a true punk original] and he leapt around like an idiot in a Hawaiin shirt..Pursey lowered the tone of punk, and he was an embarrassment to it, which is why I 'chinned' him in '78.

[wyrda222]

@rabsmiff surely wearing a Hawaiian shirt once punk was fashionable was actually... ermm quite punk. chin yerself.

[rabsmiff]

@wyrda222 I'd rather chin Pursey...again.

[wyrda222]

@rabsmiff so you've used the same hand on Jimmy Persey's face as you have on your wifes pussy, and yer own schlong!. weird thought huh!!

[rabsmiff]

@wyrda222 BOTH gave me immense pleasure, wydra!

[rabsmiff]

@harpo10 Pursey also encouraged third-generation punk bands like the Cockney Rejects, and Angelic Upstarts...these absolute-shit-status bands effectively killed off the original values of true punk...and Pursey was instrumental in bringing about the demise of punk.

[unclemort1960]

@rabsmiff pursey certainly took all intelligence out of punk he said `i write my songs for joe bloggs`

[primate1234]

@rabsmiff

If this is your 'claim to fame', then you are one sad bastard! Live in the now you sad twat!

[rabsmiff]

@primate1234 I am proud of what I done [gave Pursey a well-deserved going-over]. What is YOUR claim to fame', primate?

[primate1234]

@rabsmiff Whatever my claim to fame may or may not be, it doesn't involve beating someone up and still going on about it 30 odd years on, get over it, moron.

[rabsmiff]

@primate1234 Pursey was a media-puppet idiot who attracted National Front thugs.......how much mindless violence was meted out to innocent passers-by by Sham 'fans'? I was quite justified in my actions: Pursey was a mindless idiot who fanned the flames of facism, even though he did his best to avoid this. His legacy is an embarassment, and many REAL punks look up to me today for my achievement.

[rabsmiff]

@primate1234 Ibet you've never even been with a woman in your whole life, loser...you have never tasted the fruits of womanhood.

[seminyak696969]

@rabsmiff You're a fucking plonker.Is this your claim to fame? What a tosser you are. Making wanking claims that you gave someone a hiding on the internet. ahahahahahahaha. Plonker!

[rabsmiff]

@seminyak696969 what is YOUR claim to fame? Wanking off to posters of Donny Osmond?!

[jago544643]

@rabsmiff what ?

[UnicornMan4ever]

A ripoff for you, but a Rolls for them > Still holds true over 30 years later.

[James806]

Well said CDHIgnorance!!

[ManFromMelbourne]

Good to see a punk band who`s not into fashion and clothing.

[dogma264]

yeah clothes doesnt matter but sure as hell shows alot of balls if you walk into UCLA with a hacked up dress shirt and a hacked up haircut done by yourself and shitty selfmade tartan bondage pants, it sure as hell leaves a mark on those rich sons of bitchs

[tomvear]

What?

[dogma264]

@tomvear

Clothes doesnt matter if your doing it to impress or in a crowd of people but i see it as a way to offend people, i dont do it to offend my class of people i do it to affend the rich arseholes in the country

[tomvear]

@dogma264 What???

[dogma264]

@tomvear

EXACTLY

[waynedaly100]

look at the questions and answers video,all punk bands sell out

[TheSoldierant1]

@ManFromMelbourne - Sham 69 were NOT a punk band - this outfit was a comedy show that jumped on the bandwagon.

Pursey talks about rip offs - he was the wanker that bought a mansion then done Ballet on the t.v -

[nirvana5656]

oi punk ;)

[ZLUGGO]

This is one of their best songs.

I love Sham 69.

[SurpassA]

Don't get stuff like this any more.

[dakikzp]

and what is here with videos with police??? wre they arrested or on some demonstration, or its only a part of scene???

[halifaxtown1961]

wow great tune...great voice..100% pure class voice

[ttrisking1011]

i wonder who they could be talking about?

( top left hand corner of this page, begins with a You)

[woonsocketrocket]

Saw Jimmy and the boys 3 times in the late 70's and they rocked ! Early slamdancin' maniacs !! They loved Boston .. and had a great message to spread.

[lee88614]

wicked song its true aswell,nowadays the record compnays would never release a song like this

[FreakOutG4]

Why cant make out the meaning of the song?Is it talking about capitalists?

[lee88614]

its talking about how the working class are getting ripped off by shops and restaurants and how theres so many immigrants in england and that if the working class dont get together then their gonna be screwed

[James806]

It doesn't mention immigrants you have just added that bit.

[lee88614]

yeh it does,"ALL FOREIGN FEET DOWN OXFORD STREET" "FACES FROM PLACES IV NEVER BEEN" if thats not talking about immigrants then what is it?

[James806]

It refers to tourist. Shops increasing their prices in London to cash in on tourism, but the locals get ripped off.

[lee88614]

u could make it mean that but i dont think it does,i dont think jimmy was thinking ooh look at all the tourists thats why the prices in the shops are high

[CDHIgnorance]

tourists

[lee88614]

this song is about how theres too many immigrants in britain

[FIFTY2WEEKS]

hows that?

[CDHIgnorance]

Fucken tourists you knobs.

[goblinpug]

Workers unite! Uhhh, except for the brown ones! ...genius.

[James806]

idoit!

[CDHIgnorance]

J.P was anti N.F. you are probably a misguided skinhead who likes to rewright history to make it into something that it never was.

[CDHIgnorance]

Its about not buying over priced crap ment for tourists and trendy posers.

[CDHIgnorance]

You dont need those filthy basterds to release music nowadays.

[chrispravda]

that's all right!!!

[HereIsTheSexPistolsX]

awesome tune!!

[deahanco]

absolute class

[Menace1979]

The only problem mr Pursey ia that that song give more and more anger and hate to fight bastards like 99% of the fucking human being... Am I CORRECT?! Or I'm drunk like you when you said all that and vanished!?!

[jago544643]

just enjoy yourself

[jago544643]

[kevin171994]

[almklit]

This message so relevant again today.

[WhereEaglesDare22]

If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; But if you really make them think, they'll hate you

[jago544643]

F****n have it no change 30 years later

[guillaumesansami]

[Tibbenham]

Poor old Pursey once got beaten up because of this song. He dedicated it to bouncers housed inside Bristol Locarno, and they punched him. It was a nasty incident, and he had a pretty bad black eye.

[rabsmiff]

PURSEY.....you and me OUTSIDE, NOW....and it ain't for poofery.....
