@@timbayliss4153 Well, he told a load of bolox. It's primarily about the public school system (eton being pre eminent) that produces our "elders and betters". The lyric DOES reference a fight between local school kids and Eton pupils in which the working class lads came off worse but only as a device to hang the whole idea of the song on to.

What a prophetic video! I love the short reggae dub riff halfway through this track (Jamaican genes). Today's news makes your video spot on. Well done!🙂

Well done for including the pictures of all the Old Etonians. 7% of the British population are privately educated but they dominate politics, media and businesses. The 93% never stand a chance because the odds are stacked against them so heavily. People are brainwashed by newspapers that are owned by the 7% that only the 7% can lead them. Paul Weller was trying to teach people about these leaches way back in the eighties but nothing has changed, we have yet another Etonian in number 10. Why? Why do more prime ministers come from Etonian than all the state schools put together? This song came out just as I was starting my working life, I am now coming to the end of my working life and the Etonians and the rest of the 7% have had the easy privileged life while my 93% have struggled.

Labour abandoned the very people this song was for. At least the Tories pretend to listen, even if they don’t follow through on anything they do.
