Excellent! Hijacking the thread with music videos! A much better direction to take. I love a bit of Linton Kwesi Johnson. The bloke should be Poet Laureate - I'm pretty sure he'd turn the job down though. Have you ever heard this mashup of his poem 'Sonny's Lettah'? It's got that fantastic Hot...

I've found a Welsh anti-English song. Stereophonics 'As Long As We Beat The English'. I'm not a Stereophonics fan at the best of times so not a great judge of their music but even so, it's not very good. I also don't think it really, really counts because it's not so much anti-English but...

Hate crime? Blimey, that's some leap.

I'm not sure I agree. Indulging in a bit of schadenfreude about someone you don't much like sounds like a quite reasonable response to me.

Or indeed the irony of saying people with closed minds are 'mostly old and fat'.

"permanently outraged" - Code for people posting about stuff I disagree with.

Anyone wanting to listen to an anti-English song that is also a very decent tune too should ignore rubbish like McCartney's effort and instead go for Bomb The Bass - 'Empire' featuring Sinead O'Connor and Benjamin Zephaniah or The Waterboys - 'Old England', the title of which comes from James...

"...disagree with aspects of that country's politics..." Sorry, but the silly thing would be to try to compare this to someone opposed to capital punishment working in the USA. If you have Anti-British political convictions that strong that you get them permanently written on a part of your...

McClean got that tattoo since moving to England and that photo is of him making sure everyone gets to see it whilst playing for West Brom. He's doing absolutely nothing to try to put across his views in even a half-sensible way (unlike Duffy) and everything to goad and provoke those who disagree...

Nah. They're nothing alike. I wasn't too happy with Duffy's comments about McGuinness but Duffy was perfectly happy to wear a poppy on his shirt. Duffy showed much more intelligence in rejecting the very narrow view of what hardline nationalists like McLean have of what the poppy represents...

Seen the state of his tattoo? He must really, really hate playing football in England with political convictions that strong. I'm sure the £50k a week he earns playing in a country he hates gives him no comfort at night. Ah well, at least he doesn't come across as a hypocrite.
