Martin Carthy updated this song quite a few years ago, and more political.

And of course he credited it as ' traditional, arranged Carthy '

Quite right too, hence the "anon", Dave. On the album and in the youTube write up I do in fact state it as "traditional". I did however register for the "we will rock you" arrangement and the "Epirus" harmonies. And when the album came out I gave Martin the first copy, in acknowledgement that it was his version that I heard first.

A witty gloss in many cases, indeed; though not sure I got the application on every occasion of the accompanying image to the simultaneous lyric.

Most attractively performed though, George, whatever reservations to the entire gestalt

Powerful interpretation, George...matched by an equally powerful slide-show.
