Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

(warning: contains music and non-patriotic lyrics)

As the supporting site says:

<blockquote>
Three versions of the Billy Bragg and The Blokes' single Take Down The
Union Jack from the new album England, Half English, were released on
Cooking Vinyl on May 20. The price: £1.99 each. Or all three CDs for £5
from participating stores. [or £3.99 each from Amazon - martin]

Our aim? To launch the song to the top of the UK charts in time for the
Queen's Golden Jubilee at the start of June. All profits go to the
not-for-profit organisation the Living Wage campaign in London.

Why? If you are dismayed at all the fawning and grovelling surrounding the
Jubilee celebrations and wonder why almost no dissenting view is heard,
this campaign is for you.

If you are sick of pop impresarios using dubious techniques to dominate the
singles charts, and just as importantly the radio waves, to the exclusion
of anything else, then this campaign is for you.

If you think the minimum wage is not enough and want to help the Living
Wage campaign force big employers to pay proper rates of pay in expensive
areas such as cities, then this campaign is for you.
</blockquote>

Cheers
Martin
