This is brilliant, and, I think, it clearly illustrates how helpless Scots are in relation to decisions made by other nations about our own country. Sad really!! :-(
Great song - but doesn't sound like Matt singing here. Many apoloies if I'm wrong - not ususally a pedant it sounds too sweet for Matt - he had gravel in his voice.
Anyone with suggestions....mibbe Adam McNaughton...? Many thanks for post video.
Good question, craigowler. He died before Maggie Thatcher came to power, although he did mention her in Skull and Crossbones where he says about her stealing milk from children. He would have seen the credit crunch as being capitalism's seed of its own destruction, and he would have had plenty to say ! Thanks Big manio for posting this one.
My take on the HBOS & RBS banking shenanigans is that they are removing the last of Scotlands endemic assets before Alex holds his referendum in 2010.
This does indeed sound much more like Adam MacNaughtan

Matt had song for every occasion didn't he, I wonder what he would have made of events during the past thirty years?
