Nearly 50,000 people have viewed a music video against the coalition's cuts, which features a montage of Nick Clegg, George Osborne and David Cameron droning on about us "all being in this together", and even a star-turn from Mr Clegg's (alleged) political inspiration - Mrs Thatcher.
Nearly 50,000 people have viewed a music video against the coalition’s cuts, which features a montage of Nick Clegg, George Osborne and David Cameron droning on about us “all being in this together”, and even a star-turn from Mr Clegg’s (alleged) political inspiration – Mrs Thatcher.
The Facebook page, meanwhile, currently stands at more than 1,600 fans, and there are plans afoot to release the single at Christmas and do a “Killing In The Name”, as outlined by video producer Captain SKA, who says:
“I’m busy finalising all the detais for the release of “liar liar” and there will be an official press release very soon with details of charities and a launch gig. I can confirm though that the release date will be 11th December and it will be available through all online platforms, and as a ringtone too!”
Watch it:
Profits from download sales will go to various charities affected by the cuts, including homeless charity Crisis, and a number of smaller grassroots organisations that, Captain SKA tells Left Foot Forward:
“… are being decimated by this wonderful government.”

It's the 80s all over again. Tories fuck the country and the left hit back with social worker cod. http://bit.ly/9Cmpwn

It’s not juvenile. Believing the lies this government is spouting every day is juvenile. This song gives a bit of hope during uncertain, depressing, and often fearful times. I think it’s a wonderful thing that they are donating the proceeds to such charities as Crisis, which may be overwhelmed shortly with people affected from the housing benefit cuts, among other things. Some people have short memories. This is not a coalition, it is most definitely a Tory dominated government. It’s a shame, the LibDems were suppoed to give a bit of balance, but they have just caved in to power.
