Okay the one news app I allow to show me notifications is The Guardian (I'm in the US). Are you people telling me the whole UK government is imploding and no one (The Guardian) has informed me?
This feels relevant. Is this relevant?

@rpardee Same political party 40 years apart, many similar approaches and as the verses say "I said I see no joy, I see only sorrow
I see no chance of your bright new tomorrow, Our lives seem petty in your cold gray hands
Would you give a second thought, would you ever give a damn?
I doubt it
Work, white law
Shell shock, world war"
The threads of history are coming up to the surface again.
@Mauve_matelot I had no idea that song was political until it featured in an ep of I think _The Crown_ & I looked it up on wikipedia.
@Mauve_matelot @rpardee I have some friends who look after 2-tone ska dog and often take him to music festivals (although haven't for a while) https://www.facebook.com/2toneskadog/ Obviously they are into that kind of music.
@rpardee most of British music from the punk/Ska and two tone style has a political message.
I am watching a BBC series called Lenny Henry Caribbean Voices. Here is another song.
