Panorama - White Fright divided Britain.

Post by Marky Dread »

Just watched this BBC documentary about racism in Blackburn. Very disappointed to hear The Clash SISOSIG playing at the start and then much worse White Riot playing while the doc was showing footage of the National Front.

Rock the Casbah in Iraq, London Calling as one of the theme songs for the 2012 Olympics...the Clash have always been ripe for such casual and lazy appropriation. There was a time I might have expected better from the Beeb.

Someone needs to use Clampdown as soundtrack about putting the hammer to unions and immigrants and taking back this country [choose whatever country you think needs taking back], man!

Idiots here who think their country has been taken away from them when it was never theirs in the first place.
