The video was shot at Dilston Grove, one of CGP London's 2 galleries in the heart of Southwark Park in south London. CGP is an artist-led gallery founded in 1984 by The Bermondsey Artists' Group.
They commission major artworks by artists at all stages of their career. It's a vital part of London's art scene offering space and support that no-one else can across two stunning galleries.
Its an amazing cavernous raw space that hosts a lot of performance, music and live art. They rent it out in between shows to get the crucial funding they need to keep supporting artists. There's nowhere quite like it!
Dilston is one of the first poured concrete structures in the UK, built in 1909 by Cambridge University. It had been derelict since the 60s until the gallery took it on. There'd been a mission church on that site since 1896 after Bishop of Rochester, Edward Stuart TALBOT decided Cambridge should have a post in South London to support the poor.

IDLES - purchased. Hey, what’s the significance of smashing the Hummels & China? I hope they didn’t belong to your mothers’!

[@nickchops1058]

Aachen Weinachtsmarkt - yup it's one of the best ;O/Seriously though, Idles have helped in a small way to renew my faith in humanity at a time when the world is going to shit. See you in Dusseldorf on Sat. Safe travels.

I was totally digging this until the last verse and then I fucking loved the track. Fuckin' truth on that killer verse. Y'all put the punk in post-punk. Terrific track.

i saw this live on lsd, one of the most crazy experiences ever

[@fiddygd8304]

My mum is my world. She battled an illness that put her in a coma, that left her having to relearn how to walk, eat, even go to the toilet. After all this, she got up and went back to work as a children's nurse in the NHS. She taught me hard work, how to teach myself when school failed me, and most importantly, to never trust a Tory. Love you mum x

[@club_rock]

THIS IS NOT PUNK ROCK THIS IS MAD ROCK ... or something like that

[@Greenlink01]

the last 30 seconds of silence, as he tempers himself breaking more, then aggressively approaches that woman but lovingly puts his hand to her face, walks back towards us, that spoke novels

[@Samouraii]

The woman is his mum who died before he wrote the album

[@BatsIndignant]

my mom is suffering from dementia rn and worked her ass off for us to have a good life. She wasn't perfect ofc. Anyway this song means a lot and helps me.

[@dalbertstevens4823]

I'm going through exactly the same.. live for her.

When he says "I know nothing" it really reminds me of Manuel in Fawlty Towers, it fits, love it. Also a banging track.

[@carlix8035]

The more I hear them, the more I like them. Great lyrics in this one too. Bands on the edge are always more interesting than the mainstream ones we usually hear.

I listen to this song morning, noon and night.

[@kingnoclout511]

"the best way to scare a Tory is to read and get rich" remember kids.

[@joeo62]

Surely that's the best way to become a Tory, they're on your side once you get rich. Don't listen to this kids.The best way to scare a Tory is to READ and ORGANISE!

[@tommyrandall3489]

joeo62 I think they mean when you read and get rich they don't have as much of a sway on your life and it scares them.

[@samuelantics4388]

you are neglecting the follow up line " i know nothing Im just sitting here looking at pretty colors" which is why your idea that they're on your side is improbable. They poor are always stuck at the bottom if they aren't wildly successful artists because they don't have the opportunities the rich do.

[@thenavajoknow]

The best way to scare a Tory is to vote Corbyn (not Labour, mindya). If that doesn't work, some bankers' heads on London Bridge might do.

[@Bunji2k6]

Samuel Antics The line "I know nothing, I'm just sitting here looking at pretty colors" refers to someone who didn't follow the advice, and is trapped in an endless stream of shallow entertainment instead of working on improving their life. To become a wildly successful artist is hardly the only way to get out of poverty, that's just ridiculous.

[@checktheskies5040]

I keep singing this over and over and it's got me into trouble a few times. Now my daughter says when I ask her what she's doing "I know nothing I'm Just sitting here looking at pretty colours" what have I started...oh well!!

[@meredithfaraday9435]

"The best way tp scare a Tory is to read and get rich" Brilliant

[@mordredthemightymetalhead292]

@Celtic Revival / Adfywiad Celtaidd Maybe the point is being able to "read and get rich" "to scare a Tory" is just an illusion because you can read an entire library and make a bunch of money, but that still doesn't prove that you are any better than a "Tory". You would be becoming more like a "Tory"(and become more friendly with them probably) yourself without spending the capital you have accumulated towards helping people who are serious need for basic resources and pushing for innovation for the collective benefit of most people in general.

[@mordredthemightymetalhead292]

@Celtic Revival / Adfywiad Celtaidd Full-blown pure capitalism = focusing on accumulating as much capital as possible, often with little supply and much demand.

[@arbeitsscheuer]

Same. Also, the people that frighten the life outta Tories are the poor & uneducated - 'read & get rich' seems more like advice for BECOMING a Tory. But what do I know, I'm just an AnCom.

[@proevoisace7]

Reading means you’ll be educated, therefore won’t be easily taken advantage of and we would end up with a more equal society

[@anannon8384]

The uneducated do not scare Toris... by get rich I assume they refer to be self sufficient and fill of knowledge.
