3 Burden Of Shame - The UB40 File Extended Version

Again, Ali gets political, discussing the emotions encountered by a Brit who feels their current government and history places them in an uneasy position of shame that they must carry despite not being directly linked with the actions. What it feels like to be a misrepresented person from the nation that profitted so massivley from human enslavement, control and suffering and still (at the time and now) makes it's business by exploiting the third world through military might. A most poignant song when considering Britains position in the Middle East today. Oh, and the drums sound sweet. Hang around till 4:07 and it all goes nuts! Brilliant music

Brum Boys. With Dub Musical Skills to Spare. Expressing the painful pride but shame all sentient British citizens surely feel. You think such beliefs still exist and then you read the Guardian.... Fuck me. What has become of us?

Ali, Astro et al - > please come back and sing some sense into this Isle? Please. Please? We know you still have the capabilities. Don't give up... not yet.
