Immigration isn’t included in LGBTQ+ though. At the time neither was transgender, although inclusion was only about 5 years away.
Chumbawamba have done other songs that are supportive of immigrants. Just let us have this one.

I was flipping channels one night and landed on them being interviewed on The Tonight Show. Leno goes “so, somebody told me you guys are anarchists!?”
and they were all “yes. and?”
I never followed them but remember the name from reading Maximum Rock -N- Roll in highschool (I mean, it’s impossible to forget that name.) when Tub Thumping came out, I was like “there’s no way it’s that underground punk band, but OTOH, it’s much less likely that a different band independently derived a name like Chumbawamba”

NEW LABOUR SOLD OUT THE DOCKERS
JUST LIKE THEY’LL SELL OUT THE REST OF US!”
Unfortunately the video doesn’t include the bit when Danbert Nobacon emptied a bucket of ice water over deputy prime minister John Prescott.

It has been over a day, and I have seen this comment several times, but I am still dyslexic reading this as Anarchist Gardening Commission and now I want one.

One of my favourite albums growing up. I learned so much about the hypocrisy of adults and the world through this.

I’m imagining them ignoring NIMBYs (NIMFYs?) and HOAs, and planting fruit and vegetables in front gardens if the people living there consent.

Sounds like a Portlandia skit.
Indeed! Was just listening to it.
Never made it past Tubthumper… so nostalgic. Never knew they infiltrated pop for a platform. Very cool.
