Any person from a working class (or any) background with an ounce of compassion surely cannot in good conscience support the genocide being visited upon other ordinary working class people in Gaza and, contrary to what seems to be the current mindset, it is entirely acceptable to disagree vehemently with both the foreign & military policy of the sovereign nation state of Israel without being deemed to be anti -semitic. The two things are completely compatible. Equally, supporting the ordinary working class people of Gaza does not equate to supporting the horrific actions of Hamas. Describing offering that support, in whatever fashion, to the ordinary people of Gaza as "virtue signalling or "being woke" is a cop out. When did it become wrong to speak out about the despicable acts visited by one nation upon another, Surely as human beings and citizens of the world that's exactly what we should be doing, isn't it? I applaud Paul Weller for always calling it as he sees it. One last point, as an Irish person whose ancestors were intentionally starved to death or forced to leave their own country rather than die of starvation in the mid nineteenth century, (there was no Irish Famine, the ruling class(es) made sure that all the food left the country as a policy decision) the starvation and creation of an unnecessary famine as a means of genocide in Gaza, an intentional policy of Netanyahu's, is deplorable, beyond reprehensible and a war crime without any question.
Peace before the 7th, then Hamas intervened......... Ask yourself why NONE of the neighbouring countries want to open their borders and let the Palestinians in.
Well spoken my friend. There are a few ignorants here who think that opposing genocide is 'woke'. PW has always been anti establishment since his days with The Jam. A champion of the underdog and who has always been opposed to imperialism. Displaying the Palestine flag is a brave move in a sea of silence among artists. Roger Waters and Susan Sarandon with standing. Personally I applaud it. 🇦🇪
@@parmesancrisp really?I never knew that after following him for 50 years! Andy( as you call him) seems all about himself and trys too hard...plus the moons are crap
Opposing a genocide is not wokery! Every human being who opposes genocide and tyranny should be standing with Palestine. I think Paul was being sarcastic when he said he'd vote Tory but a few thickos didn't get it did they.

Weller has screwed it. Supporting the kidnappers and baby killers. I was a massive fan. Now . I light a light fuse! Im gone. Whole love for him gone. Will never attend another concert or but another record. Ever
Probably not the kind of supporter he wants anyway. Maybe look at the bigger picture with Palestine...? Decades of persecution by Israel, and what the Israelis are doing in Gaza now is beyond inhumane.

There was no issue before the 7th, all was well, then Hamas decided to create chaos, murdering and kidnapping inc babies and children. Ask yourself why no neighbouring Islamic country will open their borders to Palestinians. Please don't be naive.
Amazing! Super Spot On Live performances Always!!
lol!
great quality! nice to see it from a different angle (other than the top tier of level 3! 😊)
I’ve seen Ashcroft 3 times, The Verve 3 times, Kings of Leon 3 times and in November will be my 3rd time seeing Weller. Hat trick hero! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Not impressed with the drummer, give it some wellie man. Miss Steve White
Never knew Weller had so many gammon fans. He opposes genocide and people have a problem with that?
I typed “ Gammon “ on RUclips. What a Cnut I am. Nonce. 🤌⚓️
@@stevewalker51Good on you for admitting your truer identity.
So is Hitler good now then? He wanted all the jews dead too, I can't keep up

Get Whitey back and get Mick talbot in. Look like they're going through the motions, apart from Paul.

Fair play to him for placing the Palestinian flag there ✊✊✊✊✊✊

The Modfather!
Nice flag too
One of the reasons I love Weller. He says it how it is.
Terrorist flag
Palestinian flag......I remember him saying the Jam would be voting Conservative!
Rock star wokery.....absokute bollocks
You dont know what the fuck youre talking about
Exactly. Just play the damn songs no one gives a shit about your woke bias.

Says a fecking nobody.

Hamas are a terrorist organisation
Both sides are sickening

Intro is a direct rip off of ELO s 10538 overture
No! Really?!
A Rip off of ELO
It isn’t

How is he a "champagne socialist"?

What about it? Do you support the killing of millions of people?
What's wrong with that?
Swap the flag to English

Did you swap your mouth for your rear end?
