Gundane said he hoped that his involvement with the song would turn him into an expert on British politics and economics in the same way ‘Do they know it’s Christmas’ had turned Geldof and Bono into the world’s leading experts on Africa. “If I’m not sharing a platform with the Queen and David Cameron by this time next year; or headlining at Glastonbury, then I will have done something very wrong,” said Gundane.
Indeed, this year was a bad year for tyrants and oppressors and baddies of all descriptions. We saw the death of Osama bin Laden at the hands of American action-men, the death of Moamar Gaddafi at the hands of YouTube pranksters, and the death of Kim Jong-il at the hands of communism’s greatest foe, God. It just goes to show you should never give up hope – even when you are being oppressed, downtrodden, and forced to slowly starve to death, you can take heart from the knowledge that eventually the bad guy will drop dead and be replaced by his insane son.
