if he had played this at live aid he would have nailed it, and you know what kids it wasn't ABOUT YOUR DEGREE AND HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST YOU IT WAS ABOUT RIPPING THE WHOLE F*CKING SYSTEM DOWN, ah that's better, night night.
Paul Weller is on record as saying he grew to dislike Red Wedge because he saw through the posturing of the future New Labour class traitors who staffed it, who just wanted "the youth vote" to kickstart their sordid little careers and grab the levers of government ... very true and just another little reason why we need vote reform in 2011 for a start, to drag this country into the 20th century (21st Century would be too ambitious).
kids dont go on to the streets anymore, the spoiled genaration get all they want handed to them, all we did in the 70s - 80s was fuckin protest,the bomb thatcher killin towns like mine, was alright if u stayed in south east the rest of us got fucked when she dies they should hang her in a cage for crow food. bitch
@SIMONHATELEY and now the goverment are just really started fucking us all up god and propper maybe weller was saying something with the album wake up the nation
@SmithersJones87 must have returned back from france with that look- which i think is cool regardless! wellers a style icon besides being a legend songwriter!

There is as much to be said and done these days, so much to be angry about, what happened to people?
Where's the passion and the fight in people gone to!?!

Funny, 'cause I always had Weller down as one of the better dressed characters of the '80s.
Mind you, being stood next to Foxton's mullet must have made him look a tad cooler.
