Roy Palmer is an excellent collector of songs and author of many books but I am unsure what the above quote brings to this thread. The opening post asks quite clearly for songs sung by soldiers that are dismissive of their leaders. We have seen that such songs do exist and three such are quoted from the other thread. Whether they are tongue in cheek or serious, political comment or a joke has no bearing on whether the content of the song itself is dismissive.

Just my opinion of course but, then again, albeit at someone else's request, I did start the thread :-)
