about

“This song is influenced by the old protest songs of the dust bowl era in the states, in particular the work of Woody Guthrie. The message is one of ‘how will you react when people delivering politics of hate push their agenda of division, stigma and racism’. Will you join them, ignore them or stand up and counter them with a discourse of hope?. In the late 1930’s Oswald Mosley, the Leader of the British Fascist Party came to Hull to speak in the attempt to spread his politics of hate, he was challenged at Corporation Fields which is roughly located behind what is now St Stephens shopping centre in Hull. This songs message is that people should stand and protest against the politics of hate, like they did at Corperation fields, Cable Street in London, and today against the groups of the far right who demonize the most vulnerable in society. This song was a collaboration with Les Dobbs – musician, trade unionist and my inspiration.” - Lloyd Dobbs (Hillbilly Troupe)
