David 'Call me Dave' Cameron's endorsement of The Jam’s 1979 anthem, The Eton Rifles, which the Conservative leader fondly recalled singing along to whilst studying at, er, Eton, has prompted a response from its creator.Paul Weller popped up on Channel 4 News to point out that it was actually a song about class warfare specifically attacking Etonian privilege.
“If you can’t take the time or have the intellect to see what the song’s about, you haven’t got much chance of running the country, have you?” sniped Weller.
Bullseye!
