Some times the simplistic brutality of a song time encompasses a whole concept and needs little explanation. I think this is one of them.
Thatcher Fucked the Kids by Frank Turner does remind me of Billy Bragg (not sure thats a good thing or not) but at the same time has made me smile. the song title is almost as good as “Bring me the head of Michael Portillo” by the Family Cat.

I still prefer the sheer hatred and anger of “IFWHITEAMERICATOLDTHETRUTHFORONEMINUTEITSWHOLEWORLDWOULDFALLAPART” by the Manic Street Preachers.

Cock! I’ve signed up for a 10K run - I can’t even be bothered walking to he pub so god knows why running over 6 miles seemed appealing. But we were in the office, we got chatting and thought lets do something absolutely stupid in the name of our masculinity and as a fop to pretend we’re not getting older.

This year looks like it will be full of more desperation than is usually to be found on the lines @ the Samaritans but hey - when you pump people full of credit, make them believe its their money and talk the language of entitlement for over a decade when the whole thing goes tits up who do you blame?
