How can they have been so freaking good? I'm serious / as an American in Atlanta, Georgia / I'm embarrassed that it took Spotify to introduce me to these super stars. Love them and The Beautiful South! We may have won the war, but we've lost so, so many battles. :0)
Just learning of this artist and songs. So big in UK yet never heard of in US.I like how all his themes and filming locations are everyday Britain yet a world unbeknownst to me.
Nelson Mandela was a terrorist, though. Complete fuckin scumbag. Thatcher may not have been the greatest Prime Minister but what was the other option? That communist Michael Foot? The only one worse than him was Jeremy Corbyn
She destroyed so much that was good about Britain and the current political economic situation, where wealth is more concentrated in the hands of the few, privatisation of nationalised industries has brought corruption and chaos in ever more expensive and badly delivered services and markets and corporations are now more powerful than nations, is down to her.
WTF did this northern asshole ever do for the country???? Thatcher did a good job of recifying all the communist union jobs for the boys and stopped the government being a slave to the unions. She liberated the working class by allowing them to raise equity from their homes. Fk these self rigteous trendy wankers, they are all capitlists really its just a good look to be a table top commie.
Listen to Amanda's reading at the funeral. That is what we are up against. I went thru three miner's strikes. It's the globalists now who are ushering in their false millennium kingdom, they rule governments.
This side of the character assassination of Corbyn, and installation of the usurper obersturmfuhrer stormtrooper starmer…quite prescient observations made at this point already by Paul.
Thatcher was a pawn to the lobbyists like most politicians. Her pathetic denialism and bolstering of the ruling classes pulled the wool over the eyes of anyone without a mortgage, so oldies who were paid up or the rich loved her... And on we go with the Tories.
I absolutely love this song. It is so heart wrenching. I shed a tear everytime I listen to it. Paul Heaton is such a genius. His song writing sadly doesn't get half the credit it deserves. I love how in the lyrics Paul writes about the impact of losing your child has on the wider family including grandma and grandpa. The pain this loss must have on you I can't bear to imagine 😢
I came back to hear this again after hearing the story of someone exploited by the show. It really is awful when you look into it. Not just the editing and the way they set people up but the contracts they have these kids sign that's tantamount to slavery. They have to give up the rights to all material they have released even before they go on the show. They literally had to sign their lives over to creepy Cowell.
All the time in the world for Paul and people like him.hes consistently said the same thing and could quite easily lay back with the money he's made and have a nice easy life,but he keeps speaking.
Wow. Brilliant, Mr. Heaton. (And so, so sorry how the Long Covid Age has turned out for all of us, with the health care workers damaged by COVID left to fend for themselves.)
