this righteous bent
to twist the facts
your right to speak
and fuel the flames

oh this hankering
for the good old days
when you could call a spade a spade
and close your eyes

would you go back
use words that cut
dehumanized
and fueled the flames

the world's gone mad
well so you say
let's just call a spade a spade
and close our eyes

well littlejohn
we've all moved on

today we treat each other with some respect
these days we choose our words more thoughtfully

i'd rather be
politically
correct
than filled with hate
it's you that's mad
with what you say
when you call a spade a spade
and close your eyes

well littlejohn
we've all moved on

today we treat each other with some respect
these days we choose our words more thoughtfully
a man's a man for all that
we're all jack tamson's bairns

Smooth arrangement and vocals, Jim & Prive...the message in the lyrics of course also resonate on this side of the pond.

Gotta say, I easily avoid listening to any of them. Music beats politics any day...back for another listen. 

[launched]

Fantabulistic, guys!! Hell yeah!

Mark

[Rata-tat-tat]

Wow... guys this kicks some serious arse. Great one.

[Flash Harry]

Slick and smooth and spiky.

Brilliant.

[chunk]

Bloody brilliant

This was a comment on the writings of a particularly odious British journalist, who is making news again with his particular brand of right wing politics, who writes his ill thought through intellectual diarohea in a paper read by equally hamstrung citizens who cannot on the whole separate his conjecture from the truth. 

There is currently a petition to get him sacked.

I hope he is, and I also hope that the stream of bile dries up with it.

This should be played on every radio in every house in the UK.
