It's definitely about the troubles and Britain's basic rule over anywhere they chose. ..Churchill was a prominent Rascist. I was born in 1971 as a Catholic in Belfast..White nigger was actually used in a pamphlet in the 1700s as propaganda by the British to describe an Irish man. Tbe portrait is comical..apparently features close to apes....
But to me ..the line ..
It's no laughing matter when you've been on the murder Mile
Is...so prolific . For Costello to even know that and still it's not spoke about.
The murder Mile is in North Belfast from Carlisle circus up to just before the Cavehill. Its a square mile. Within thst area..it was predominantly Catholic.
There was a serial killer Lenny Murphy..he belonged to the Shankill Butchers. All from..the Shankill rd ....side by side to this area. They were butchers by nature..but had a vitriolic hatred of ..Fenians ..Catholics.
In a book written.. they only name 12 members but others were named by Mr A etc..the full alphabet and then a second set. So that's almost 40 members. They went out in a black taxi with butchering knives totally drunk fuelled by bloodlust. And in the 70s not alot of people walked home late. They picked on drunk men. Would hot them over head from behind . Then Butcher them in such an appalling manner . Heads almost severed on a praying pose. Usually outside an entry. They operated for maybe 7 or more years. My family on both sides were affected. A young boy 17 years old from my next street was gutted..yards from his mum and dad's house. A protestant police man set uo the first ever vice squad to hunt this man
The leader was eventually outed by his own community. His name Lenny Murphy. His father was Catholic and his hatred consumed him. So ..the murder Mile is very disturbing for alot of us from North Belfast. Costello to be so prolific is wonderful. Hua use of the slur is meant to show how even after the butchers..Catholics in Belfast are referred to . He's meaning to shock. The full lyrics are referring to Britain's..arrogance and detriment to so many countries. . With no reference to anyone.
