A beautiful song I’m not surprised Bobby wrote it he was a ordinary lad happy go lucky loved football his people community came under attack what choice did he have unemployment the scrap heap or fight back.He was a working class lad against a Tory government sound familiar.Why is it every time they offer a solution to a political economic problem they get stinking rich you sell your house for next to nothing no matter if your Irish/British the facts speak for themselves.Anyone interested in purchasing worthless PPE gear I only want 30 million offshore of course.
