I heard today on BBC Radio Four, while driving, so I don't remember all I should, that there is to be, in Glasgow, a collection of political songs of all sorts to ensure they are not lost. I believe it is based on a collection made by a Labour MP, and is being promoted by his wife. They are drawing the definition of political songs very widely in space, time, and political leaning, and seem to assume that if something is used politically, then it is political, citing people coming out of a camp in the Balkans singing George Michael songs.
