Revisited this thread after a week of news which included political eruptions in Egypt (military jets buzzing protesters, tanks on the streets...); demonstration in Britain by students, trades unionists (against fees, against job cuts).

Anti capitalist protesters are energeticly publicising how the bankers and other sectors of the Rich are still whooping it up - despite two years now of we ordinary folk being told to expect austerity, perhaps for a generation - and English demonstraters are now getting tear gassed.

The scope for new songs is huge - perhaps we need a dedicated forum where writers can offer thieir up-to-the-minute songs to campaign groups who might like to use them on demos, campaign DVD's - and of course where songsters can offer to write campaign songs. Any ideas?
