about

When the EDL announced they were coming to Walthamstow a few years ago, I was outraged, partly because they were coming to my manor, but also coz I'd recently been protesting against them in Luton, and realised I could've saved myself the fare.
This one's for them and their like.

lyrics

This is England

The Peaks, the Lakes and the North Yorkshire Moor
The Shard and Rotunda cityscape, Glastonbury Tor
This is England, my England, there are many points of view
And I don't need it defending by the likes of you

St Paddy's, St Paul's, the Cathedral at Wells
Sun through a stained glass window, and the pealing of bells
Ah, but in this England there are synagogues, mosques and temples too
And I don't need it defending by the likes of you

For the lies and hatred that you wrap in the flag of George of Palestine
Is the measles of mankind according to Mister Albert Einstein
It was against such a creed that our Grandad's fought in league with Muslim and Hindu
Tell me which side would you have been on back in World War Two?

Now in Walthamstow, in Newcastle, in Bristol and Luton too
We'll fight to defend the English from the likes of you
