They also made an LP years ahead of time only to be released upon the death of Margaret Thatcher. It’s pretty fun, and the liner notes do not pull any punches
Edit: don’t want to make a million replies, but if anyone wants another good song Farewell to the Crown is one of my other favorites
Also iirc they made Tubthumping as a way to get some cash to help fund less financially successful punk artists in the same scene. They demonstrated their ability to make a generational banger then went right back to making weird anarchist folk music (that I love and am not denigrating by calling it that)
I couldn’t find the full liner notes on mobile, but quoted from an article I did find is the best part:
“Let’s make it clear: This is a cause to celebrate, to party, to stamp the dirt down. Tomorrow we can carry on shouting and writing and working and singing and striking against the successive governments that have so clearly followed Thatcher’s Slash & Burn policies, none more so than the present lot. But for now, we can have a drink and a dance and propose a toast to the demise of someone who blighted so many people’s lives for so long. If we must show a little reverence and decorum at this time, then so be it. Our deepest sympathies go out to the families of all Margaret Thatcher’s victims”
