Love how Cameron immediately applauses. Whether or not he cottoned on, he was made to look like the twat he really is. Well done to Glenn for having the balls to do this. Thanks for posting this too Simon.
So the lyrics are; "I grew up in council houses, Part of what made Britain great. There are some here who are hellbent, On the destruction of the Welfare State." Has anyone else noticed that the camera shot pulled out quickly at the start of the last line? Perhaps a keen eared director wanted to get a shot of Cameron?
As if anyone needed another reason to love Squeeze! As others have pointed out though, Cameron and his ilk are immune to the damage they are doing. Blase in fact...
Danny Tigz Assuming that you don't believe that to be acceptable... how does lowering yourself to the level of our oppressors help the cause in any useful way? This kind of behavior simply strengthens their resolve and weakens public perception of our own. If we're truly better than them we should demonstrate it.
Cameron will probably make a joke about it if asked. He'll say something like "I thought Squeeze's career was "Up The Junction". Good to see them back!" This present batch of Tories have learned from the mistakes of the past. They know all the angles and play the media game to their advantage. They are running rings around the righteous.
If the band hadn't tweeted that they'd included that lyric, I don't think anyone would have noticed. I was too distracted by the embarrassing sight of a podgy Glen Tilbrook pushing 60 and trying to relive the glory days that never were.
Well, I think selling out Madison Square Garden in New York would be considered glorious. As far as the ageism you've expressed, I'm in my 50s myself, and can still manage to do all of the things, physically and mentally, that I did in my 20s.
***** I was around when Squeeze came on the scene and I thought they were garbage even then. You know nothing about which artists I enjoy (and I can assure you the list certainly doesn't include Gary Barlow, in fact I'd put him right down there with Squeeze,) so your comment is meaningless.
+Neil Justin Fans of Squeeze noticed straight away. And Squeeze, the group, never tweeted anything about the change of lyric until much later on in the day. If you are not a Squeeze fan, why are you viewing a Squeeze video and commenting at all? I really do not understand the mentality of those who need to express their acerbic and acidic opinions on social media. Is it attention seeking? Perhaps you should go on Andrew Marr and do it properly.
it was a cheap shot... Glen should be embarrassedAt least Cameron had the decency to applaud, probably the last time Squeeze will be invited on any Beeb shows
