#nowplaying On my mind as us locals #haverfordwest #pembroke watch our skyline destroyed by construction co's ripping out #Georgian houses to build neo-modernist concrete piles of shite. Pursuing the #regeneration agenda , funded by the #Welsh #Cymru #HMG et al. Lots of brown envelopes changed hands. I have the data. The #toon #GhostTown by the #TheSpecials #followdamoney

I see a clinic full of cynics
Who want to twist the peoples' wrists
They're watching every move we make
We're all included on their list
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Go nuclear, the cowboy told us (Ah-oom)
And who am I to disagree? (Ah-oom)
'Cause when the madman flips the switch (Ah-oom)
The nuclear will go for me

We never fought for freedom
For nasty little brutes like you
To come undo the work we do
You bring shame on this country for true
Embarrassed by you

Been listening to The Specials a lot lately. I really love their more recent albums, “Encore” and “Protest Songs”. They feel especially relevant these days.
