I think its just an advert for dental care

Anyone who cares to read the posts attached this marvelous video should be able to easily see what happens when people get too wrapped up in cultural authenticity/purity. There are derogatory comments aimed at American, Irish-American, Nigerian, Polish, Pakistani, Chinese, and other races/nationalities. I understand why Irish history sparks political discussion, and it's a discussion that should be had. But there's no need to attack entire ethnicities. Totally counter-productive. Shame.

Can someone explain the video to me?

I don't think it is a love song, or a political statement.
It is one man's recount of what he saw. Shane and the Pogues always loved singing songs that are just reality.
My father knows lots about the constabulary burning them out in southern Ireland, he was there and told me about it. This song is not about that, or politics, so just STFU all you shit disturbers. Drop the chip off your shoulder and just appreciate the song without flinging all your hate.

@hem1934 Lets not go so far as saying that the IRA fucked Ireland. I'd rather like to think they helped out quite a bit.. there's only 6 left to go.

Shane Macgowan singing a ballad in a pubby graphpas582,371 views
@land4x4ever The Pogues' music is ALL about POLITICS. The Irish were first fucked over by the British, then they were fucked over by the Catholic Church, then they were fucked over by the IRA, and now they're being fucked over by Capitalists. You'll find all this in the Pogues' music.

There appears to be a debate over whether this is a love song or a political song. I'm an American, and while I am well aware of the historical strife in Ireland, it first struck me as a love song, I guess because I'm so far away (geographically) from the conflict. But when I look at it politically, it does sound very much like a political message. My guess: Shane was crafty enough to make it both, at the same time. That's why it's so great. It transcends, yet, embodies, both love and politics.
