  • Actually this song was written showing their opposition to the thatcher government, the depletion of british industry (the bike reference) and RACISM! The Clash were very left wing and they strongly opposed racism, they also used to play at anti racism events too. I hate how this (and other clash songs) is used by EDL thugs who use it as their own to show their message, however it has a completely different meaning! Look at the lyrics carefully, you'll see!

  • keep er lit

  • resessi

  • Time England reconvened it's parliament back and declared independence from the UK.

  • @segano1 shut up mate we got our hands in scotland wales and n.irelands pockets why the fuck would we want to claim independance. id understand if scotland would want to do it.

  • I recon strummer would love the irony. After all he did give it that football chant of a chorus.

  • Good God, whoever made this video needs to listen to the lyrics. And not just the "this is England" part (it's like people who only hear the "born in the USA" part of the Springsteen song). Clash songs seem to be misunderstood/misappropriated a lot. People think Rock the Casbah is anti-Muslim and US troops used it as some unofficial Gulf War anthem. London Calling was used in Olympics 2012 commercials. Rudy Guiliani used Rudie Can't Fail during his 2008 presidential campaign. WTF is with people?

  • tbh i didnt watch the video, i just listened to the song like normal people.

  • amazing band !!! outstanding song!!!!

  • Love the song, but what the fuck is up with the video? Can't you tell this a song that harshly criticises aspects of English society, not some bollocks patriotic anthem. All the pictures of football fans and british flags and such are irrelevant and irritating.

  • @whitedwarf13 Actually looking at an image slideshow is for faggots

  • @DutchBrit100 WTF?

  • Ok first of all my age is irrelevant. I'm 22 and I make no claim at all to an age related superiority complex (the 1976 in my name is a referance to the most widely accepted birthdate of Punk rock, not my birthdate). Second I never once referanced Great Britain. I was talking about the national character of Britain not some pedantic grammatical issue. Third @ MrBaggie666 Dump some fucking hormones mate and learn to 'toalk' properly before having a go. Dumb shit.

  • Ok first of all 'kids' my AGE happens to be 22 (the 76 in my name in not my birth date but the most universally accepted birthdate of Punk. Yes I appreciate there are ins and outs but I went for the happy medium), so your belief that I hold some sort of age related superiority complex is groundless. Second I never once made any referance to Great Britain itself and was referrring to our national character rather than anything grammatical. Third @MrBaggie666 learn to 'toalk' before having a go.

  • I don't really thing the sentiments of this song and of Joe and The Clash are quite captured in a slideshow featuring abject nationalistic fervour and symbolism when the song itself is a litany of social criticisms including those very things.

  • @zorbon7 totally agree, video is obviously made by a foreigner

  • @zorbon7 do you think that song is very important? it's a litany for little boys

  • Is this video rearly meant to represent England? Football, Famous London land marks, bovva boots, punks, rucks with the filth, birds flashing their tits, getting on the piss come on what about the culture? Hang on that IS our culure, and fucking heres to it!

  • Am I the only one blaring this and that noise at 2:52 scared the crap outta me!!

  • @FieryAngel74 Yeah WTF was that?

  • i can fap 2 this

  • Go Chelsea FC!!!!

  • cut the crap, is not a clash album, clash without mick is not the clash

  • I love how many of the English believe that this song is positive towards England

  • @BenHughesLlan

    Probably not as many as the Americans who think Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" is positive. Ronald Reagan wanted it as a song to his 1984 re-election, but was denied it. Appparently Springsteen said to some of his friends:"Did Reagan even listen to the lyrics??"

    People in general don't listen to lyrics and even if they do they take things literally and irony is lost on them.

  • Love this band. Love this song. Love this video!

  • One of the best Clash songs.

  • THE CLASH WERE ANTI RACIST NUFF SAID

  • this is the song that got me into punk... when i was 3.

    and its still my favourite :)

  • I dont think that this song was about immagrents. It was about the power and strong will of the British. So if it is possible you simple minded nazi basterds can go and find a vidio that is relevent, Yours truely a 13 year old with more brains than you.

  • @TheGunsfuns Wouldnt it be wine and roses,if england was for englshmen again, Because i mention Poland and Russia im a racialist,you missed my point,My Great Grandad my Gandad who was an Arethusa Boy,Look it up was in the SBS,He fought in Palestine,Second Worldl war,Spanish Civil War,Joe was right because he stood up for people kicking shit out of each other over a fucking game,aint politics is it.to my Grandad and thousands upon thousands of english men who werent scrapping because of a game,

  • @TheGunsfuns  well said

  • What's with all the right-wing nationalistic comments? Just enjoy the song people. Joe didn't write songs to incite or support hatred.

  • would you all shut the fuck up? its a really great song, and you cant enjoy it cos your busy shoving your head up you arse

  • joe was right . but he also said he stood up for the lads kicking fuck out of everyone on the football tours . i idolise the lad but fuck off with the politics , at the end of the day joe was a fucking hard working lad , no bollocks politcs , no nazis , no left wing , just how he thought it should be

  • Populate or perish, Poms!

  • POOR JOE RIP!!!

  • =) love this song =)

  • this is england full of fucking ruskies and polish immigrants my grandad didnt help liberate fucking poland so they could all move here fucking disgrace

  • @norfolknchance100

    There is huge difference between polish and russian people .

    You are ignorant and not well educated.

    Go back to school , just learn real history and next say thank you to Poland that you are not living in comunism.

    Wishes from Poland

  • @Jacbyl The Red Army expelled the last German troops from Poland in March 1945, several weeks before the final Allied victory in Europe.Ignorant i wittnessed a Polish man run a little old lady over and sped off leaving her to die like a dog in the gutter and im ignorant behave,and as for education what i got in my in my head would blow your fuzzy head to bits. Your whole question is ignorant BY INSULTING THE MANY BRITISH SOILDERS THAT DIED FOR YOUR COUNTRY"YOUR COUNTRY"

  • @norfolknchance100 I guess that if Polish professors hadn't deciphered the secret of Enigma and passed to British, your country would have became the biggest isolated concentration camp run by the Nazis.

    By the way, is it your face at 1:54?

  • @norfolknchance100 As part of the German military preparations for war, the Germans made several technical enhancements to the Enigma machine which made it much harder to code break. The Polish code breakers struggled with the new challenges by themselves for over a year, with some success, but eventually they decided to share all they knew with the French and British code breakers. They did so just one month before Hitler's invasion of Poland.

  • @norfolknchance100 Some of these captures were part of carefully planned raids, in which British warships or commando units were sent for a raid whose only real purpose was to allow a single special intelligence officer to find and retrieve, sometimes under enemy fire, even just a few sheets of paper - the naval Enigma's monthly settings lists. Other captures involved a very heroic descent into a dark and knee-deep flooded German submarine, knowing that it is about to sink,retreiving vital papa

  • @norfolknchance100 Wow you really took advantege of wikipeadia. And funnyly enough the other week in my bourough an Englishman did the same thing to an old lady because he was drunk and uneducated.

  • @Jacbyl shut up u polish penis u peasants attacked german tanks on horse back and with swords, we had just won a war against germany and nobody was expecting or wanting a war, we are england never forget it u sad little fuzzy headed spack

    wishes from eng-er-land knobhead

  • @orsonmeade

    My Scottish colleagues are laughing LOUDLY because of your complete ignorance, and lack of culture !

    See you in Edinburgh

  • @Jacbyl @Jacbyl shut up u polish penis u peasants attacked german tanks on horse back and with swords, we had just won a war against germany and nobody was expecting or wanting a war, we are england never forget it u sad little fuzzy headed spack

  • @orsonmeade Those poilsh penis's fought in the raf in the second world war knobhead....learn the facts before writing facsist comments you smug, uptight, small minded, shit for brains....

  • @TheGunsfuns One of those Polish squadrons also got the highest record of enemy aircraft shot down.

    Also in response to all the right wing people here "Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious" - Oscar Wilde

  • Check out This is England the song by NaNa

  • I disagree with the above comment about racism / patriotism. Because someone loves someone or something, it doesn't mean that they automatically hate someone or something else. I love my country and it's history & traditions, but I'm happy to embrace other people & cultures. Many people on the Left of politics are equally prejudiced, believe me...

  • Just realised I meant 'prefix' before.

  • For those in doubt, read 'The Progressive Patriot' by Billy Bragg. Just coming to the end of 'Redempition Song', the Joe Strummer Biography by Chris Salewicz but that's next on me reading list. In Dubai at the moment and I managed to pick it up for 10 Dirhams, which is about £1.70 :)

  • @hoolsgothwhayne Bangin' video btw mate :)

    @HearTheStaticNoise Couldn't agree more mate. Wrote a lyric about it meself recently.Unfortunately gonna have to except there is no Joe and do what the man always told us to 'Sort it out for ourselves'. Also, Joe Strummer said consistantly that he had no answers, only opinions.

  • ...stop blaming eveything on 'The Blacks' or 'Pakis' or the Irish or Eastern Europeans and a whole host of other easy scapegoats. Britain has ALWAYS been multicultural. DEAL WITH IT. UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL.

  • You can be a proud Brit without being a Racist. I'm proud to say I come from Britain, if if the 'great' suffix usually applied to my nation might be more than a little tentative these days :). But does being a Briton instantly meanm being a white man or woman?. I think not...I'm not proud of everything we've done. The Empire?! BOLLOCKS!. Reviving the Empire is not what Britain needs to become 'great' again. What is needed is for people to stand up and take responsibility for themselves and...

  • @AngryBritPunk1976 you toalk utter bollocks. The 'great' in Great Britain refers to the geographical.......you clearly are an ignorant TWAT!

  • fuck off you imergrents with these fucking hair styles... stop thinkin we had these hair cuts back in the the day cuz i didnt my father didnt and my relatives charles darwin and lord horatio nelson didnt its bolox

  • The Clash "This Is England" For Christmas Number One

  • @simonpetertaylor im in!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I think we'd all like to forget this album was ever released.

  • I remember buying the single and being overjoyed when it tickled the charts and later buying the album and desperately wanting to like it-having heard many of the songs live-but ultimately concluding that it was a pile of crap after all.Bernie Rhodes,BOO!!!

  • forever Joe...desde Portugal 

  • This was one shit album.

  • @crieff405 agreed

  • why spend your time insulting people? This is England. Happy days. You're not happy? Sorry, boss, there's more to life even in this tiny island. Applies to a person too. Nobody's trapped, either geographically or psychologically, so get out and explore. England you're my home. Now Joe Strummer was no insular minded bloke, but he knew where he was at home, not that it stopped him exploring. March up and down, stamp your feet, or just live your life as best you can? All these arguments get nowhere

  • Comment removed

  • This song is so relevant today except one line.

    "We can kill you in a jail" because even murderers don't get life now.

  • @blueduck2009 Were you dropped on your head as a child?? You can't stand up for the working class and neither can your racist, fascist and right-wing parties! We live in a mulitcultural Britain, and to even comment on this song and twist it into a right-wing singalong song is disgraceful. You sir, are a hypocrite and a waste of space.

    Shenanigans07 has been speaking the truth, it is impossible to really grasp your side of the argument when you blatantly can not grasp ours!

  • 2:15-2:37 fuck yeah!!!!

  • I loved this song in 1986.

    Amazing how love can fool you.

  • Hearthestaticnoise. What a self oppinionated arse...Why is someone a twat for being against Immigration? Oh, is it because that's not YOUR view on the matter? I hate people like you. Not because you want to sell our identity down the river for an unrealistic multicultural dream (human crimewave and terrorism) Because you are so arrogant you consider your opinion automatically right, and refuse to consider an alternative view. In that respect YOU are more like Hitler than most right wingers

  • @Barryleon How odd for you to say that.

    Did I at any point say my opinion was the right one? no.

    I simply said I don't agree with the BNP. and I gave my opinion, which is my right as a human.

    I have friends who are BNP members and family members who are BNP members. I love each one of them.

    I simply never want the BNP running this country, simple.

    And as I said... It's actually sad, but the BNP really are the only party that stand up for the working class. But that's not enough to get my vote.

  • Free England from Scottish rule !

    We love you from Croatia !

  • england sucks south africa these year-peace!

  • disgusting england

  • england for the english.......this is..... ENGLAND fight for your heritage

  • @chrisdavid4026 Yeah mate, whatever, don't go spreading you nationalist shit on this video, or on any Clash video for that matter.

    Do you not understand what this song is about?????

  • Brush your teeth you fucking skanks.

  • @mogul1265 grow a braincell, ya dog raping cunt.

  • @Shenanigans07 dog raper? Oh thats real good you fucking pommy, suck my balls fagstick.

  • @mogul1265 I'm guessing you have no friends or life... But I'll give you the attention every human deserves! =D

    But please, I don't have anything against gay people, but I'd appreciate it if you kept the flirting down to a minimum, you absolute minx!

  • Oh, Joe, if only you were around today, mate.

    England's back in the shits... seems like we're about to vote another smug Tory into #10. and the only Party standing up for the Working Class are racist Nazi cunts. and even though you always hated the NF & the BNP, it seems some people have the effrontery to say your beautiful, inspiring, soulful, multicultural, left-wing lyrics are for patriotic, right-wing, BNP loving, immigrant hating twits.

    It's a shame, mate, but RIP. we miss ya. we *need ya.

  • @HearTheStaticNoise  You are a stupid commie twat. No wonder England is being lost to the marxist-Islamist one world machine. O I forgot, were not allowed to say England anymore thanks to Red cunts like you.

  • fuckin excellent joe strummer the absolute guvnor bar none, liverpool fc, huyton,,,

  • One of Strummers best songs.

  • and whats your point poopie?

  • see my 1st comment

  • Great song, but this video is pure tripe and totally out of the spirit of the song.

  • poopie and navarria your both fags go listen to green day or some gay band

  • lmao.. there's much better Clash albums than this... London calling, Sandanista, etc etc.. Only 2 original members played on this album..

  • Worst Clash album..

  • @poopipeplunger no black market clash is worse

  • @Navarria123

    black market clash is awesome! unreleased songs and b sides. gates of the west, groovy times, capitol radio, this is radio clash, the prisinor, jail guitar doors, 1977.... those are some of their best songs!

  • @bowlskaterkris they have some good songs on it, but still, i think thats their worst. it sounds like hip hop, or at least a lot of it does...and it doesnt sound like good hip hop...hahha

  • @Navarria123 black market clash wasn't a hip hop album. I think most of it was punk and dub. I think u have black market clash mixed up with cut the crap. cut the crap had the horrible electronic drums on it. super black market clash was b sides and unreleased tracks.

  • totally right, any of its song is recognizable to be part of some manager mixed album... it stinks...

    who is England

    Europe is waiting for you!

  • Who can tell me what the little girl says at the beginning of this song?

    I have wondered for years and would love to know.

    Thanks

  • @78topper  3 for a pound potatoes?

  • Yes I think you have got it!!!!

    After seeing what you wrote and playing it again, it does sound like 3 for a pound potatoes.

    Nicely done, and thank you very much!!

    Mystery solved :)

  • "Keith Topping's book The Complete Clash calls the squeaky voice at the song's start a child's voice, it is in fact not a child's voice but that of a market trader shouting "four for a pound your face flannels, three for a pound your tea towels"

  • "four for a pound your face flannels, three for a pound your tea towels" spoken in a strong Cockney accent.

  • 2:15 to 2:38 is where its at!!!

  • Patriotism is the last refuge for idiots with nothing better to live for. Its a big wide world out there. xxx

  • @oldgregg23 Racism is bad but only complete twats complain about patriotism.

  • *StandTogetherForever

    expand?

  • @StandTogetherForever Patriotism is a distant relative of racism... distant being a key word. But nonetheless, they're still related.

  • @Shenanigans07 is it fuck. I'm white and proud

  • @blueduck2009 Good for you... and what exactly have you gained from being white? and ermm, what reason do you have to be proud of being a colour you had absolutely no control over?

    'Cos, I mean, it's not like you earned the colour white or anything, it's not like its a badge of honour.

    Judging by this comment and your comment about Muslims in your profile, I can already tell you're a moron and this question will be to powerful for your tiny mind.

  • @Shenanigans07 It's not about gaining anything you idiot. I'm proud of white peoples achievements and our way of life. White's created civilisation, Internet, TV's etc everything you take for granted.

    I am damn proud to be white thank you very much. As I see you live in Birmingham I bet you are a filthy little muslim. Did you know Islam glorifies paedophiles?

  • @blueduck2009 @blueduck2009

    Right, a few things wrong there factually.

    But because at this time I am studying religions of the world, I will point out your comment about Islam =D it says in my profile I am an atheist so no... I am obviously not a Muslim.

    Anyway, are you Christian, Catholic? none?

    Either way The Holy Bible has many verses which also has indications that paedophilia is perfectly fine and dandy. so... yeah. erm... let's 'protect Britain from the filthy' Christians too =D

  • @Shenanigans07 I'm not chrisitan, kiddo. Islam is evil, you don't see any other religion going around killing people for drawing their god. ONLY filthy dress wearing Muslims.

    Where the fuck are you from? Scummy Poland?

  • @blueduck2009 Damn, I'm from Britain, I'm British, you idiot.

    And does the name Adolf Hitler mean anything to you?? A Catholic man who decided to kill SIX MILLION people because of their religion and background.

    Because he interpreted "mark of Cain" as being people who were of any kind of minority.

    ALL religions are evil, particularity the ones of Abraham.

    Anything bad you have to say about Muslims can easily be said about Christians. They believe in the same fucking God.

  • @Shenanigans07 Oh my... you can't even read, lad. I'm not christian, or anything else for that matter.

    Islam is the most hate filled religeon out there. Check the library at your little school if you don't believe me.

    You silly little kid.

  • @blueduck2009 Sir, clearly you are the one who cannot read, as I have not once called you a Christian.

    and the fact that you're trying to patronise me is rather ironic, as you have little to know idea as to what you are talking about.

    There is very little differences between Christian beliefs and the Muslim beliefs, therefore there is absolutely no reason for you to hate Muslims more than Christians.

    The reason I mention Christianity is because Muslims and Christians believe in the SAME God.

  • @Shenanigans07 I don't like christianity, but this is a christian country, always has been, and it should stay that way. They don't believe in the same god you utter mong. You probably go to some posh school that doesn't see what life in the world is really like. Mosques popping up EVERYWHERE.

    Your only 17 ffs, isn't it your bed time? Your mum will be in to tuck you in soon.

  • @blueduck2009 Are you really that much of an idiot?? They do believe in the same God.... lmao!! they do... Allah means God. The God of Abraham. The same as Christians and Jews. RELIGIONS OF ABRAHAM. (To use your words) "you utter Mong"

    And no, I didn't go to a posh school, amazing though, isn't it? you have to resort to absurd, non-factual comments and even swoop to patronising me because of my age, just to try support your ridiculous ignorant views on religions you have no idea about.

  • @Shenanigans07 ey up you've taken a few classes and you think your the dogs bollocks.

    They don't even exist so how can they be the same? The islamic one says that having sex with 9 year olds is good and the other one says the complete opposite.

    bet you're still a virgin.

  • @blueduck2009

    And its nothing to do with classes, you learn that in first school.

    and actually the Bible says girls are ready when they have periods... so... yeah. which many girls start their periods before before they're even 11... so. wrong again.

    And once again your desperation is becoming somewhat amusing, and pathetic -

    No, I'm not a virgin, not like that even matters, but I really love you being wrong.

    And please continue with your desperate attempts and off topic digs.

  • @Shenanigans07 It is to do with class actually. You go to a posh school so you don't see the real dress wearing muslims who slither their way into our schools and take all our jobs.

    You have no idea about the real world. Oh and taking Religous studies was a bad idea, employers see it as a joke.

  • @blueduck2009

    Seriously, mate, just what the fuck.

    I've grown up in a working class family, we live in the poverty line, so keep calling me a posh, mate, fucking hell, you sound like a right idiot, so stop chatting shit about my personal life.

    I don't just study religion, I do sports. Okay? and soon I will begin studying politics... that clear it up for ya? good.

    And the real issue with you isn't religion... (unless you're that much of a hypocrite) its immigration, and I suggest you fuck off.

  • @Shenanigans07 I suggest you come back when your a man and when you know what the fuck you are talking about.

  • @blueduck2009 Sure... But if being a man means being someone like you... A thick, retarded, ignorant, unintelligent, arrogant, hypocritical, hebetude, twat, and looking down on people because of their age... erm...

    I think I'd rather stay the way I am thanks. :D *flicks your nose* now run along little pig, run along.

    :p

  • @Shenanigans07 you won't stay a kid forever.

    The way of the world will crush you like it does to everyone else.

  • @blueduck2009 mate, people like you are already making me feel like the world is crushing me.

  • @Shenanigans07 Is that an attempted insult?

    I am not your mate, kid.

  • @blueduck2009 ... erm, rightyo. xD

    I'm done with you.

  • @Shenanigans07 not to butt in, but Shen07.

    You've done a top job here, lad.

    Stood up for yourself well, and dare I say it, stood up for true Britain and really made a fool of this "man" who seemed to think his age made him somewhat superior and more intelligent but you proved him wrong.

    Kids your age get a bad press, but I think your words here are to be admired.

    I've never seen someone make such a fool of themselves like you made this guy.

    and you're the kid? hmm, I think he has ALOT to learn

  • @Shenanigans07

    get em! lmao

  • @Shenanigans07 excellent reply,remeber a fool doth think he is clever a wise man knows himself to be a fool well done lad

  • @blueduck2009 THEY TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­K OURRRRRRR JOBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

  • @su0rtin Wales are England's bich. We OWN you, always have.

  • @blueduck2009 Shut up you German descended cunt. Who is the Queen?

  • @blueduck2009 you know fuck all about history

  • @su0rtin lmao...yah man...THEEEYYY TUUUUKKKKK OOOOOORRRRRR JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBBBBSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

  • @Shenanigans07 Patritotism isn't linked to race, there's no reason people of west indian, indian, pakistani, african... etc etc origins shouldn't feel every bit as proud of this wonderful country as white people do. The fact that they're made to feel anything but pride is exactly the problem!

  • @efefia Well, patriotism has been key to many racist rulers.

    I'm not saying patriots are racist, I'm simply saying they both (racism and patriotism) have a close history.

    Me personally, I will never be proud of my country.

  • @Shenanigans07 I think you're a bit mistake here; i hear where you're coming from, but its a bit of stretch comparing the two words though. Interesting idea.

  • @banterbury34 its not a stretch at all. patriotism allows the same liberties that racism does..just in a different name. thats why the army gets 'em while they're young..because they know not what they do....and all the medals and tributes in the world won't change that, no matter how well intentioned.

  • I have to disagree with the above comment. Because someone loves someone or something, it doesn't mean that they automatically DISlike someone or something else. I'm proud of my country, its history, its traditions, etc., but I'm equally happy to explore and embrace other peoples' cultures. I've always found that prejudice and intolerance are found mainly among those on the Left of politics.....

  • It's just a song.

  • My England gone by .. I miss it so !!!! I left England 19 Yrs ago to live in Bosnia ... How its not the England I love and remember. I,m Glad i live in a country where nobody gives a fuck what religion you are (Thats the Federation and I,m not talking about the politicians, who dont represent the people - Sarajevo forever - As England used to be)
