On Tuesday evening (7th August) BBC Radio2 is broadcasting a programme of protest songs called "Power to the People". These will be the songs that the BBC banned at the time of their release, when they were relevant.
"Welcome to America, David, where people like you are paid for doing nothing." What a way to greet the world's number one shirt salesman. Yanks won't be buying Beckham shirts, the rest of the world will be pouring money into the Galaxy owners' coffers. So who's paying him to do nothing? The placard should have read "American dream, foreigners not welcome."
Capitalism and chauvinism are incompatible, even if the latter is a useful tool for capitalists to employ in dividing and controlling the labour force.
