  • @fastacid714 My exact question that led me to this video. I'd love to see Joe Strummer singing this. But I'm not finding it.

  • @tom23372 Well, it's fortunate that you don't make your living on your ability to think. The post World War II era was a despicable one in Americas history, wherein the protections ostensibly guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution didn't apply its non-white citizens, even the ones who'd just returned from putting their lives in harms way, in Europe and the South Pacific, whilst defending its interests.

  • @tom23372 Oh, and I "get" the song.

  • @Hoopermazing I think you get too much of your information about Americans from television. And then you graft it onto class consciousness. America divides on other lines, I think. Many in the working or middle class, whatever, who have a semblance of a liberal education think Fox News is only suitable for parody. True, though, that too many "working-class" Americans vote against their own economic--and other--interests. Our glory years were post-WWII; our time is passing.

  • @Hoopermazing its a sad fact,you are right,it pisses me off how fucking stupid we are sometimes.the torys rely on it and love it. feed em x factor and shit. they need to wise up to the tory lies ,FAST.

  • @Hoopermazing really one of the stupidest things i have ever read in print, that is 40 seconds of my life i will never get back...jesus are you dumb...how do you even draw a breath..

  • The words in the song, england never closed the gap. ring even more true now that we have a tory goverment back in power.they have no interest in the lower class and are only interested in looking after the rich.

  • This is our answer to America's "Fuck Yeah" song. :3

  • The memories you've dredged up are a message forwarded from hell. So many great lines in this song. Album. Does any one know if this song was ever played live.
