Nice article -- but was this really "roundly condemned" last time around?

Applause

When South Africa applauds the way
The Tories use their power
To silence the debate on Northern Ireland
I wonder how long it will be
Before the nations of the world
Begin to impose sanctions upon my land.

--Billy Bragg, Ideology (stray live verse)

Man (1938)
