Jon Newell

I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage. 

Ted Watts

Nicely done! I had not heard the song in years, and it still hits me in the guts. :)

Chris Edwards

Jordan Olinski

Is this a live performance or the studio version?

Julie Cook

Strummer Jones

And may we ever remain between them.

I was a representative of a polish trade union in a corporation. This song reminds me of how important it is to have a friend which helps you through bad times in any kind of job and how consumption and management brainwash drives people to forget the basics of human solidarity. Thank you and God save the Unions!

Very possibly one of the greatest songs ever written.

Andreas Walsh

Perfect music for Remembrance Day.

The "middle way" is the only way. I kept voting, not for the iron fist, but for the helping hand.

@LURIG81 I know someone who works as a security guard at the Palace of Westminster. He can't afford descent housing in London so pay's most of his wage in rent outside the London area. He had become friendly with a peer who was one of Thatcher's Govt. He asked this peer why council houses were sold off so cheaply, leaving people like him in such a situation. The response was "My dear boy, social engineering! People with mortgages can't go on strike"

Thanks Tim Davies. That's a great photo montage that really helps to illustrate what this great song's about, and about the best endeavours of our grandparents. Maybe we should start a petition to get it played at the finale of the last night of the Proms. At least it would restore some "balance" to the usual jingoism of Land of Hope and Glory and Rule Britannia. After achieving that modest objective: National Anthem!

Bragg for President!

I'm 15 and I think this song is wonderful and has as much relevance today as it did in the 80's. I can't explain how much respect I have for the majority of working men and women at that time, and of course Billy Bragg.

Chupa Baras

Absolutely with you!

I'm a web programmer, a socialist, a minimum wage employee, a supporter of the workers, my grand father on one side was an engineer and on the other was a coal miner who levelled the ground and built his own house, I may not be getting my hands dirty, but in my office I still part of production (rather than "business"). This song touches my heart.
