Remember the cloud cukoo land remark that Thatcher made about the Apartheid in South Africa? Well I don't cos I'm too young, but that reaffirms the poilitical nature of this song, and the posts on this page are right to emphasise the annoyance that is expressed in the song behind our inability to stop the suffering which is caused by politicians who do nothing but make pretty speeches. how long, indeed, can these western politicians continue to do nothing. and how much longer can we manage to let them pretend they are doing something? quite a trick really, a little like spinning plates, i suppose.
