I've posted the above article because it very much relates to the video below. I came across the below a few months ago and was struck by it's social commentry. I would strive to say it's the most powerful music videos I've seen for many years and I think it sums up the last few years better than anything else I've seen or read.
It's aptly crafted - edgy, raw and with a deep, angry intensity which is captured both musically and visually.
I have no doubt it's messages, many ironically contradictory, will be missed by both sides using it as an influencial piece condoning certain lifestyles and behaviour and for this reason I fear it's potential poignancy has been negated. In all the articles, literature, websites and papers I've read on the social impact of the Tory Government- THIS, to me, is the most intensely powerful and honest account of the widening social divide that's expanded before everyone's eyes.
