@Annezbabe It's about mutineers during the Napoleonic war, rebelling against the corruption and autocracy of the monarchist oligarchy. The reference to Payne is a reference to the English radical tradition, which strongly opposed the monarchy and supported egalitarian republican democracy.

Don't try and twist it into a Hun anthem.

The unofficial anthem of English anti-royalists - red is the colour of a new republic!

Archeology is a science and you are a twat.

[kevinahollingsworth]

Archeology belongs in a museum. That's all I'm saying.

@kevinahollingsworth You on the dole and do you live in a sink hole ?

@Traitorfish And Paine sought refuge and was accepted by the Colonies...and forged the foundations of the USA. From personal loss to humanitarian gain. Brilliant.

[kevinahollingsworth]

The Royals are scroungers living on the state in houses too big for their needs. I'm not in favour of beheading but they should be put on a sink hole estate and be left to rot. They are archeological throwbacks and the country can't afford them.

Great song, horrible video. Neat concept but they are victims of that late 80's artsy style.

@Beefy5039 Says who?At the last poll, well above 50%Of British people would scrp the monarchy, and its about time this medieval anachronism was scrapped.
