Released on this day, 1977. Absolutely summed up the Silver Jubilee for me, pretty sad that there’s nothing contemporary slating this one. As powerful today as it was then.

RIP Joe Strummer, on the anniversary of his death let’s once again regale ourselves with @CityWestminster ’s shit tribute at the wrong end of Walterton Road. Wrong birth/death date and, seeing as they evicted him and the 101ers when demolishing the house, they are the clampdown
