Ding Dong Dollar |
The United Kingdom has never really been united. Riots in Northern Ireland, the SNP in
Scotland and explosions in Wales demonstrate that it is certainly not united today. The
English, enjoying a somewhat privileged position in this grouping of nations raise an
eyebrow and sometimes a smile when earnest Celtic patriots claim that they are being
deprived of their national heritage by England. The Establishment however does not
smile nor under estimate this unrest. They fight off the ever-growing tide by investing
Edinburgh with dukes and Wales with princes. But the digit conscious Duke is himself
but a finger in the dike. And he and his son will be swept aside by the great flood of
independent republican feeling that is rising throughout the 'Untied Kingdom'. This is
what the songs on this record are about. They are anti-monarchy, anti-establishment
and anti-Yankee. The American Polaris submarine, berthed in Scotland acted as a focal
point, representing foreign political interference in Scotland at its most impertinent. This
record has some pertinent impertinents to offer in return.
