This track fought on the barricades during that toxic time. 


As our sandy shores rock Eurovision
With our white Cliff-Engelbert noir
And seize back control from green Brussels
And win a No Deal with Nil Points

The UK will win Eurovision again;
Ringo with Cilla's hair.
The Tories will be Winston Churchill again.
(Except that they never were.)
(Except that they never were.)

You can keep your French shtick, your double Deutch,
Your Dolce-clad discothèques
Your tiqui-taca, your Peps and your Klopps
Your Lattes and Pilsners and Becks.

You can keep your fromage, your Nordic noir,
Your Breughel and Brendan and Brecht,
Your Christendom, culture and 'civitas,'
Let me live on the Isle of Breck

Where coiffure d'Albert is Albert's of Heacham
And le bistrot a gastritis-pub;
Where mange tout de chef is Chav's All You Can Eat
And pure white folk rules at the club.

As our sandy shores rock Euro-vision
With our white Cliff-Engelbert noir
And seize back control from green Brussels
And win a no-deal with 'nil points',

England will win the World Cup again,
Harry Kane will be the hot Spur
The Who will be Number One again
(Except that they never were.)
(Except that they never were.)

You can keep your Rioja, your Pinot, your Brut,
Give us Spitfire and Bombadier
And Broadside and Bomber and Brexile Bitter
And rationing, hatred and fear.

It's the new party line, the new Civil War,
Breaching kin, class, friend and Union
Eyes right, all salute the all-white flag
Of our half-mast donkey-led kingdom.

Full steam ahead to Breck's Isle, Ahoy!
A hundred percent right and sure
Or 52 on a confident day
Which it might not be anymore.

As our sandy shores rock Euro-vision
With our white Cliff-Engelbert noir
And seize back control from green Brussels
And win a no-deal with 'nil points',

Wales will win the World Cup/ beat the All Blacks/ again;
Real Madrid/ Warren Gatland/ the Spur;
The valleys be home-grown and funded again
(Except that they never were.)
(Except that they never were.)

100 percent for a four point turn
Going back where we weren't before
Back from the Front and that Normandy beach
Home to Brexile's doughty white shore.

We will fight in the plazas where families dine out,
Kick over their wine and cuisine;
We will never surrender our country and cod
And chip on the shoulder and Queen.

We are the champions of Europe we were
And will be, by running away
Backwards up Winston Churchill Drive
Though his soft 'Will' has shrunk to hard 'May.'
Though his soft 'Will' has shrunk to hard 'May.'

As our sandy shores rock Euro-vision
With our white Cliff-Engelbert noir
And seize back control from green Brussels
And win a no-deal with 'nil points',

Northern Ireland will win the World Cup again,
A backstop midfield be the Spur,
Our Lost Lands will be Arthur's England again
(Except that they never were.)
(Except that they never were.)

#319 Lessons from Brexit, Truss and Liberation Day

In TWiH, former First Minister of Scotland Humza Yousaf says he believes genocide is unfolding in Gaza on live stream and 24-hour news. He says history will reflect poorly on these days. Charles Fletcher reports

The first post-Brexit UK-EU summit on Monday 19 May was heralded as a key milestone in UK-EU relations. But what exactly did it achieve? To analyse this in-depth, director Anand Menon is joined by Sir Ivan Rogers, former UK Permanent Representative to the EU, who, in Anand's words, "knows more about the EU than anyone in the world."
 
They discuss what it is like negotiating these deals behind the scenes, why the Defence and Security Pact is important for the UK but a little lacking in substance, the overreaction of parts of the media and political right, what the agreements signed actually mean in terms of dynamic alignment, why energy negotiations were a surprising win, and, crucially, what comes next now that leaders have paved the way to what are likely to be highly difficult and technical negotiations with our European partners.
 
Listen now for everything you need to know about the UK-EU summit and the future of the UK-EU relationship..

Onde de Brexit – Épisode 4 : Responsabilités et Héritages – Quel avenir pour les médias britanniques ?

Dans ce dernier épisode, nous faisons le bilan : quelle responsabilité les médias britanniques ont-ils réellement dans le résultat du référendum sur le Brexit ? Quel héritage politique et journalistique ce bouleversement laisse-t-il derrière lui ?

Avec les témoignages croisés de Marc Roche, Pauline Schnapper, Pierre-Antoine Denis et Adeline Aziran, nous analysons les forces et les faiblesses du journalisme britannique face à cette crise, ainsi que les leçons à tirer pour l’avenir.

Entre réflexions sur l’objectivité, critiques de la neutralité excessive, et la nécessité d’une meilleure éducation aux médias, cet épisode explore la place essentielle des médias dans la démocratie et la construction des récits nationaux.

Durée : 14 minutes
Merci d’avoir suivi cette série qui éclaire un moment décisif du Royaume-Uni et de ses médias.

In this episode, the boys rip flesh limb from limb to talk about the '28 Days/Week/Years Later' series. A group of films that just so happen to be about zombies killing everyone while also feeling like a roadmap to where the United Kingdom has fallen into. Fascinating stuff! Also talk of how two auteurs can compliant each others worst impulses, the creeping sense of nihilism fully embracing current pop culture and how there is no fix to any of it.

As the imperialists ramp up their drive into WW3, the Corbynistas are back demanding we all fiddle while Rome burns.

So far, working-class response to the proposed new party has been decidedly lacklustre, but a core of revisionist and Trotskyite activists are determined to do what they can to get us all back on the hamster wheel of ‘hoping’ for ‘change’ via yet another electoral vehicle for (imperialist-aligned) social democracy.

Max and Jordan talk through recent headlines, pick apart an Erewhon smoothie collab and then dive deep into the messaging of the Bristol band Idles, whose political activism has brought them popularity and critical scrutiny.

Yaşlanan nüfus, düşen doğum oranları ve artan emeklilik yükü… Zengin ülkelerin refah seviyelerini ayakta tutan denge hızla sarsılıyor. Göç, işgücü açığını kapatmanın ve sosyal devletin sürdürülebilirliğini sağlamanın en etkili araçlardan biri. Fakat artan göç karşıtlığı, siyaseti sert tercihlere zorluyor. Peki, hükümetler topluma göçün bedellerini ve getirilerini açıkça anlatmadan bu dengeyi nasıl koruyabilir?

Ülkeler, göç almadan refah seviyelerini koruyabilir mi?

Is it likely that Nigel Farage will become British prime minister? And would this really make much difference to workers’ lives? The media has been working hard to cultivate an ‘outsider’ image for Nigel Farage, framing him as an ‘anti-establishment disrupter’ in the hopes that this will entice workers back towards putting their faith in the electoral system and accepting the Farage/Reform (bourgeois) narrative that immigrants and immigration are the cause of all their economic and social ills.
