As more proof of how out of touch with reality David Cameron was he once famously named this as one of his favourite songs....a track about what prats Etonians like him were and how futile it was to take them on.
Also has one of the best ever opening lines. 'Supupyour beer and collect your fags, there's a row going on down near Slough'
You couldn't have this more wrong. Out of touch? Have you even seen what he said about it?
Yes. What he intially said. The “what part of it didn’t he get “ response from PW and then his later clarification.
Where are you reading this? The New Statesman or something?
Cameron is many things to many people but he isn't stupid, thick or without a complete sense of reality. 3 things you'd need to be to not understand that song.
Well he called it a protest song for a start. It’s not protesting anything.
Good God. I'll leave this one be.

I’m interested why.
Weller himself said he never wrote it thinking of it as political. It was social commentary of the type he commonly wrote in those days.
It certainly isn’t protesting about toffs. It’s commenting on the stupid futility of angry working class kids trying to take them on -
@crucial best way of answering that.
Do you think the composer of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot had the English rugby team in his mind when writing it?
Lyrics of Eton Rifles maybe a social commentary, but it wasn't one without a pretty serious finger point.

@majorrage the finger isn’t pointing in the direction you seem to think it is.

What did you play for the man that parked your car?

@crucial
Had I not been dying of shame and had more time to prepare a soundtrack to the ordeal, I would have played this and gave him a right thrill...
Edit: and if you are suggesting I need a man to park my car everyday, no I do not. It was a very tight spot.
