When Cameron stated that he loved this song when he was in Eton, Weller went bananas and said he was outraged that a conservative dared like one of his songs and that Cameron didn't realise that it was an anti-Eton song.
Actually, I'm pretty sure that Cameron has perceived, somehow, that Weller is a leftist (no need to grow a beard à la Castro and appear with a red star beret), and doesn't think Eton Rifles is a celebration of Eton graduates. I'm pretty sure Cameron just doesn't give a fig about Weller's political opinions. In fact, when Eton students chanted "Eton Rifles" (as Cameron says they did), the laugh seemed to be on Weller, and that makes him a little mad. Poor Paul.
