Some good Billy Bragg shouts on here.His Internationale album is well worth a listen for his take on some old protest songs.

He’s a Labour supporter and humanitarian activist. That song has also brilliantly been adapted into a Liverpool song, a club in a left leaning city followed by predominantly left leaning supporters.

My dad is a big Levellers fan, so I've seen them a few times. Actually it was at the last Levellers gig I went to that the myth of the Caring Left was finally shattered for me. While the Levellers were performing, they had footage of the aftermath of the Brighton bombing on their video wall. This was met by huge cheers from the crowd. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but if you're a humanist, you don't cheer civilians being blown up by terrorists.

Yeah but they were Tory civilians so normal standards don’t count. If you’re shooting from the moral high ground any target is fair game.

They may have believed it was one set of murderers targeting another set?

I thought Stig had written 'The Left Wing Joke Box' as the title. I was disappointed.

Pretty much the whole album could be added.

Yeah. Mercy Mercy Me, for example, is a full on hippy song really.
