1 Tyler - The UB40 File Extended Version

[Caxton1488]

"Racist Jury"..So according to these cunts all Whites are "racist"....Can anyone say race traitors?????????????????

[MrChrisSmook]

@Caxton1488 the one singing is white, most of the band is, if you have no knowledge, do not speak. Certainly not with words wich you've never seen before.

[Beelzebubbbbles]

@Caxton1488 That's quite a leap you've made. They accuse a particular jury of being racist, and from that you conclude that they believe all whites are racist. Including most of the band, and in particular the bloke who wrote the song?

There have been dreadful convictions of innocent people before this, and after this. Did Dylan get the same abuse for writing 'Hurricane'? In the early days UB40 wrote about things that bothered them, I expect this case was fresh was in their minds.

[MyRorio]

Yo UB40,forget Taylor you should have fought against the "sus law" in your own country where thousands of blacks and foreigners got jailed for doing fuck all ,included me framed by the CID and the BTP.

[Beelzebubbbbles]

@MyRorio Tyler, not Taylor. UB40 confronted many of the UK's social injustices, on this album and on the next few. That they didn't deal specifically with SUS is moot - by the time this album was released the law was being repealed. It was back again in 2007, in a different form.

[MyRorio]

@Beelzebubbbbles Thanks for the info.

[cocochanelleke]

Thanks for sharing, brings back memories of almost 30 years ago.

[malcstag]

damn, so good it makes you weep man. UB40 what happened to you ...you sold out man!

[TheSenseisam]

saw them play this 2 weeks ago in Glasgow. Superb as usual.

[TheSenseisam]

I saw the boys last week in Glasgow and as usual they were superb..They played the whole "signingoff" album and then lots of their hits.Even after 30 years they are still our greatest Reggae band. Long live UB40.

[CarFreak1994]

Is Tyler still in jail? :(

[Mchussler]

@CarFreak1994 yeah thats what there sinig about. there singing about him because she shouldnt be in jail they have nothing two show that he done any thing but they wont give him a new trial -_- he as been in there for about 40 odd years
