Random Burglar Posted 5 May 2006 Author Share Posted 5 May 2006 There is power in a factory, power in the land Power in the hands of a worker But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand There is power in a Union. Now the lessons of the past were all learned with workers' blood The mistakes of the bosses we must pay for From the cities and the farmlands to trenches full of mud War has always been the bosses' way, sir. The Union forever, defending our rights Down with the blackleg, all workers unite With our brothers and out sisters from many far off lands There is power in a Union. Now I long for the morning that they realise Brutality and unjust laws can not defeat us But who'll defend the workers who cannot organise When the bosses send their lackies out to cheat us? Money speaks for money, the Devil for his own Who comes to speak for the skin and the bone What a comfort to the widow, a light to the child There is power in a Union. The Union forever defending our rights Down with the blackleg, all workers unite With our brothers and out sisters from many far off lands There is power in a Union.

Random Burglar Posted 6 May 2006 Author Share Posted 6 May 2006 What the fúck happened in Barking & Dagenham??? Billy Bragg is from Barking, and its one of the places where the BNP are at their worst. The people of Barking are being hounded by the BNP asking their problems and this is the response. BNP: Do you have any problems? Homeowner: Yes a leaking tap BNP: Its the fault of the minorities and that is their response to everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knighton Matt Posted 6 May 2006 Share Posted 6 May 2006 I'll be honest I can't stand the pretentious clap-trap that comes from Bragg's mouth every time he opens it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultra Posted 8 May 2006 Share Posted 8 May 2006 I'll be honest I can't stand the pretentious clap-trap that comes from Bragg's mouth every time he opens it. Each to their own, but having met the guy a few times I've personally always found him sincere. However I will concede his "professional cockney" act doesn't do himself any favours, especially as he now lives a long way away from London.
