Fascinating as a piece of UK social history as well as for its musical content. Was this a tribute to the high point of 1970s trade union militancy, destined to be crushed a decade later by the government of Margaret Thatcher? Or was it a satire on that very same phenomenon? You'll still hear both views put forward today. There's a very brief intro by alleged paedophile Jimmy Savile, though the original version has a much longer take, which I've thankfully avoided here.

I love Strawbs and this is a great song! It sounds like something the Kinks could have done.
