[BritishSoulBoy60]

Nice scoot!

[someblokecalleddave1]

On the B-Side of this is the start of a poem about the miners strike (Sticks Diary), does anyone know the origins of the poem or it's name, I did come across on youtube once, but forgot where it was or what it was called.

[squidgeish]

@someblokecalleddave1

It was called Heaths lament, it is on their 'angel dust' album.

[someblokecalleddave1]

@squidgeish Nice one mate, I'll check that out - cheers!

[mahatmacoatmahandbag]

@griffo1968 Exactly mate

[wozelbeak]

watched these at Walsall town hall, loved this song. got threw out by the wolvo hells angels who were bouncing that night lol.

[rlvilla]

This is awful. It sounds like some poorly composed Republican song. We are far better than this so please dont portray to represnt England or its people with this shit. Awful on my English ears. Must do better.

[madiggy77]

I have a s 7' which is different from this better then this one the synthesizer is not on the 7"

[leucharschooks]

I first heard this song when I bought the album...I was a young Scottish punk I thought it was a great song ...not my song..but a great song ...where are all the great songs now.....ps you dont have to swear to make a point ...I lived the time of the punks and the upstarts were up there ..we were all against the bankers ..we saw it coming!!!

[mainlymojo]

My roots are from Ireland and Poland, but I was brought up in Yorkshire, to some of the people in the South of England, that means I'm thick. I speak English, so in the eyes of a do gooding prick, that also means I'm a facist.

I like things from around the World, but I also like English things, so that also means I'm a facist.

It won't be long before anything to do with England, especially the English (black and white) are banned. Then the Scots, Welsh, and Irish will be next in line.

[ancientraver19881989]

@mainlymojo some good points but dont know what you mean about people from the south thinking you're thick im originally from the south east and ive never heard anyone i know say people from yorkshire are thick - if they were joking they might say people from the West Country are thick but even thats mostly meant in fun because of their accent. i think the English working clases jokes apart stick together as is obvious when you all meet up abroad

[violetl8xdiva]

IT IS A GREAT SONG PEOPLE THAT CALL IT RACIST SHOULD FUCK OFF AND DIE YOU IGNORANT FUCKS

[drprecious]

i don't think so. look the French people during nazism, they've been patriotic. Save the country doesn't mean being fascist, for sure!!

[ByzanzRebel]

@Monchi2006

Take the software N^23 and (censorshit) ...and so on

[billysastard2009]

england has changed a lot since this song was wrote, but were still british and the bastards can't change that...

[totenkray]

You know what's wrong with the internet, everyone lives in the past and does nothing to protect the future.

It's a song, it's supposed to make you think. National identity isn't a bad thing only socialist that want to chip away at what something stands for. So as far as the Angelic Upstarts go, they are protest music, seditionist and against all things and stand for everything.

Less you fall for everything.

[autobren]

FOR FUCK SAKE,

grow up.

1 - it's a just a song

2 - there is nothing wrong with being patriotic

3 - we have a right to an existance like every other country in the world

And 4 - If you want to talk about your political bullshite, then go to a video about politics. Leave the music alone.

[SuperXredx]

dont think you have a fucking clue pal.

[crusaderp]

Hear, hear ! Well said Auto'. Some People obviously think ALL punk must be Anarchist or something.

The Upstarts were (and still are) a PROTEST band, thats the beginning, middle and end of it. This does'nt mean they can't be proud of their countries achievments, and THAT does'nt mean they're proud of their countries misdeeds.

[autobren]

Yep, too true crusaderp.

At least their are still a few on side, eh.

[enothewonderdog]

@autobren Given the way the Yanks carry on .. this is flowers in a hailstorm

My thing though is that it's really NAFF (should that still mean what it meant when I was 12 & moved to aquastralia) Greaqt song for singalongs..

[PembrokeRoadN15]

I wonder how many of these third world vermin whining about England (I'm guessing, all of them) would have the internet, if it wasn't for pioneering first world nations like England.

Hell, I bet that even now, most of them have no concept of how toilet paper works!

[gasandproud]

fucking A , mate hear u and understand what you say. i fear the british isles,[and that aint rascist] finished, not maybe in r time but we have been sold down the river friend.

[gasandproud]

well put bud

[danielcmc01]

actually it's true

[CasparStef]

probably something to do with a well known perk tied to beeing left wing.. confusion :)

[dean147uk]

What a fucking idiot you are: "Patriotism means fascism or is close similar to fascism."

Let me correct you; patriotism has absolutely NOTHING to with fascism. How the hell can loving your country, or singing about your country make you a facist? I suppose your one of those idiots who thinks that wearing a Union Jack or St. Georges Cross is racist... Just because the Upstarts are left-wing, why shouldnt they be allowed to sing a patriotic song about England?

[gasandproud]

Actually its to much blood, and we dont give a fuck,will not have not or will not be resposible 4 other generations doings,for fucks sake get over it.

[gasandproud]

mate u need to get over ur it. that was the days of the british empire.FFS. look at GB now its more like mogadishu and bombay. / and as for england being evil, u need 2 read some history. all nations are guity of crimes its just the more advanced ones who r better at it, its called LIFE not nice 4 some but thats just the way it is,

[Wrapped4]

@dean147uk

While I agree with you (I'm leftist, anti-racist and patriotic myself), I don't consider people who link patriotism with fascism as idiots. Fascists have HIJACKED the word patriotism that for some it has become its equivalent.

[iamasonofglyndwr]

@dean147uk if you proud of being english that means you proud of the death your flag has created these islands belong to the celtic people not some migrant muppets who originate from france or germany

[dean147uk]

@iamasonofglyndwr Perhaps you should learn to spell and punctuate properly before attempting to post on here.

[iamasonofglyndwr]

@dean147uk so i missed a couple of r's out ,you know what i'm on about ,i don't care about the english language we were forced to speak it

[MarchToFreedom]

@iamasonofglyndwr No one's forcing you to speak English now..Why don't you speak Welsh for us?

Or are you too lazy to learn your own language but still fancy complaining about speaking ours?

By the way, by calling the entire English people "migrant muppets" and hating us for even existing on these islands you, my silly little friend, are showing yourself to be sad little xenophobe who apparently can't get over a thousand years of history..

grow up, lad...

[iamasonofglyndwr]

@MarchToFreedom the english outlawed speaking welsh in schools and the workplace

children were hit by english teachers for speaking welsh in the classroom,what would you like me to say in welsh,then you could tell me what the english is for voyage ,appetite,and cul de sac ?

[MarchToFreedom]

@iamasonofglyndwr Well that's terrible, but as I said, no one is stopping you now..

if it bothers you that much then go and learn Welsh.

I'm not bothered about which language I'm speaking, I don't care that it has French, German and Arabic words...It's you who has the problem..

[iamasonofglyndwr]

@MarchToFreedom i can speak welsh ,the oldest language in europe ,you cock :)

march to freedom whats that about

[MarchToFreedom]

@iamasonofglyndwr Well that's fantastic, good for you :)

so stop complaining about oppression that no longer exists..

By the way, what was the need for swearing at me?

I think you have some issues that you need to work out..

[iamasonofglyndwr]

@MarchToFreedom oppression no longer exists ? what planet you living on

i don't need to work any issues out ,an anti racist band writes a song called england and i'm thinking whats all that about ,then i hear SLF singing fly the flag prehaps there linked in some way ? chance to be one of the few .prehaps your march to freedom can figure it out

[MarchToFreedom]

@iamasonofglyndwr Are you oppressed? are you still banned from speaking Welsh?

No. you are stuck in a victim mentality even though you are free to celebrate your heritage in whatever way you wish....it's sad really..

[fenthedog]

you dont like nationalism? you must be English then! hahahahahahahaa Only the English are stoopid enough to let other countries take over them whilst they sit back and mutter about..ahhh fuck it! pointless

[atomic116090]

ur a fag

[fenthedog]

ROFL! No! im smoking a fag! But your gay! Obviously! Spotty little bender who cant even spell, :D

[atomic116090]

hou je bek jong kankerkind

[PogueMahoneCoG]

I don't like this, nationalism doesn't suit them and its just a shite song.

[stgeorgenationalist]

Vote BNP, now that suits.

[BlesamaSoul]

Best place to keep your scooter, my parents made me keep mine on the drive when i owned one years back, must send them a shot of this to remind them of their cruel parenting skills!

[Shemaphorash]
