I remember when this came out it was said that the song was about an incident when a soviet (communist Russia) submarine was reported to have been detected submerged in a harbour in Sweden.
On the wikipedia page about Captain Sensible it says that the song is an anti Falklands war song but this seems unlikely if you read/listen to the lyrics and look at this wikipedia page which details several instances of Soviet submarines entering Swedish waters during the Cold War
During recent European conflicts the Swedes have remained neutral and have not taken part in any wars, so they could be described as "the people who "never, never go to war"

@DaGeBu That was 'Sexuality' by Billy Bragg and it was in the 1990s, years after this song.
