It's a criticism of the crass comment made by Norman Tebbit, Conservative Party Chairman, in the 1980s. 'If you can't find a job, get on your bike and find one.' Sadly, when the Tories destroyed mining communities around Britain, they offered no immediate and alternative employment opportunities. Homebreakers is all about Thatcherism and how it ripped families apart. It is a classic, one of Paul Weller's most angry songs. Mick Talbot sings the opening verse though, unusual for TSC as he didn't sing that many. 'All the love in the world, can't put dinner on the table.' Brilliant and powerful.
