I was 18 in 1983 and I sort forced my English teacher to discuss this song in class. He hated me for being so atrociously obstinate (God have mercy on his soul, Mr. Klusemann)...

& I don't need no Facsist groove thang...
Yup, of course you're right. Paul weller have NO political affiliations, in your world at least. In his, he's been a public supporter of the Labour party for decades. Now, go back to "reading" your copy of The Sun.

A perfect snapshot of Thatchers' Britain, circa early 80's. It manages to convey how gritty life under the bitch & her slavish following of "market forces" & everyone else (i.e. NOT a yuppy stockbroker) could fuck off & die, as far as she was concerned. Kudos to Mr. Weller for such an accurate portrayal & Messers. Foxton & Buckler for their part of it.

Have you been watching some old Ben Elton videos? Stop living in the past & check your history cos' the band formed, released their first albumn and most of their best known singles before the tories even got into power. The song is nothing to do with politics and is just a geat poem of the times with a cracking tune.......

No, I just happened to live through those times. Tories were elected 3rd May 1979...this was written in 1980, IIRC.
I saw them play in the "In The City' tour, 1978 (I think). If your youtube page is correct, you'd have been about 10 at the time.
Paul Weller not political? BWAHAHA! Look up "Red Wedge", or the tune "Soul Deep" by the Council Collective (to raise money for striking miners) or, indeed the lyrics to "Down in a tube station at midnight". I now leave you to reading your Daily Mail.
