Plenty of music is politically charged. Is that something you like, or is music for fun and entertainment only.

What's your favourite political song?

I'll get the ball rolling with- Public Enemy - Fight the Power.

Rodger Walters Amused to Death is always a good environmentalist anthem.

If you want something really politically controversial that was banned in the 70's and the likes of BoJo's father and Lord Snooty consider a fair price for brexit listen to this song while watching the video attached to it...

Fletcher Memorial Home also gets my vote too. But for something more recent, one of my faves is “Nobody Speak” by DJ Shadow. Almost prophetic considering it was written and filmed before Trump was elected and Brexit happened.

's the longest running joke

In history

To kill the working classes

In the name of liberty

The lies of Hillsborough

The blood of Orgreave

All the evasion at the BBC

And 30 years of war

To darken all our class

Black propaganda, lies and mistrust

See it in our eyes, the fire dimming away

The old-boy network won the war again

The old-boy network won the war again

The old-boy network won the war again

So you hide all Lowry's paintings

For 30 years or more

'Cos he turned down a knighthood

And you must now settle the score

And the endless parade of old Etonian scum

Line the front benches so what is to be done?

All part of the same establishment

I ask you again what is to be done?

I ask you again what is to be done?

I ask you again what is to be done?

These verses at attention stand

Ready for the immortal command

The armies of my pages may never fight again

Happy for the order to meet eternal flame

Blame the poor

Praise the rich

Make the connections

Put them in print

Keep 'em boxed in

Keep 'em kettled in

Create a mistruth

So bewildering

Create a mistruth

So bewildering

Create a mistruth

So bewildering

So you hide all Lowry's paintings

For 30 years or more

'Cos he turned down a knighthood

And you must now settle the score

And the endless parade of old Etonian scum

Line the front benches so what is to be done?

All part of the same establishment

I ask you again what is to be done?

I ask you again what is to be done?

I ask you again what is to be done?

So you hide all Lowry's paintings

For 30 years or more

'Cos he turned down a knighthood

And you must now settle the score

And the endless parade of old Etonian scum

Line the front benches so what is to be done?

All part of the same establishment

I ask you again what is to be done?

I ask you again what is to be done?

I ask you again what is to be done?
