Britain's Politicians with Roy Harper's "Dont You Grieve."

[Jengybhoy]

My understanding since i had a bible rammed down my neck every day was that Judas was Jebus's most trusted apostle and confidant thus being the only one he know would betray him...the rest would have faltered and the Four horsemen of the apocalypse, well i'm still waiting on them pricks to get the drinks in :)

[autophobe2e]

i always thought the point of the song was that judas was asked by jesus to bring about his death, and that therefore he is a tragic figure, forever condemned to be remembered as a great betrayer, and condemned to an eternity in hell for hanging himself.

so i don't really see how the video works. voters never asked politicians to fiddle their expenses.

@autophobe2e "condemned to be remembered as a great betrayer, and condemned to an eternity in hell"

Hey there, you said it old bean!!!

The voters never asked politicians to fiddle their expenses, and they most certainly didn't expect to be betrayed and ripped off by them either.... I'm an atheist, (as is Roy I suspect..duh!) but that shouldn't restrict me from using this analogous to the Jeebus myth.

Methinks one is being slightly toooooo pedantic. But heyho, its all relative ain't it.

GREAT SONG BUT WORST VIDEO ON YOU TUBE

COME ON HOW FUCKING UGLY WAS THAT

[obviouslyFAKE2]

@TheTrilnp ABSOLUTELY DIABOLICAL and probably the worst bar one or two others But at least I ain't profiting from it. I would understand your comment if I were attempting to profit from someone else's creativity, but I ain't. I think Roy Harper is grossly overlooked as one of Britain's greatest (political) folk heroes and I felt this song is as apt now as when he wrote it Even though he weren't commenting specifically about politicians. Think substance, NOT style. This isn't a personal ego trip

[TheTrilnp]

@obviouslyFAKE2 love roy harper .detest this and all other governments

nothing personal. or egotistical.RESIST IN PEACE.

spamhero mate don't think that the Palace of Westminster is not a bed of snakes and betrayal

[Spamhero]

I like the song ,don't like the connection.

Expenses are abused yes.

If you get a poorly funded member of

Parliament, or a rich man who is also an

MP which one has more influence?
