Phat bollard have a fantastic pedigree of political busking, you can see in the way their opening line is designed to grab the attention of all within earshot and captivate immediately with catchy hooks and lyrics, as well as gaps that people recognise is the time to donate (or better, send your child to donate!) great to see this folk tradition continuing.
I had the privilege of meeting this amazing team of Phat Bollard in Exeter City Centre on 28 April 2018 . They sing with meaning and passion against issues on injustice! Best among street singers. They are brilliant. Please watch all other videos by them.
I first saw these on another video which I still have - I showed it to loads of people and they all became fans. I also suggested them for our Community Fete.
Brilliant spot on , Rich get richer and poor get poorer, most of them want to work but cant get it, I always say u cant tar everyone with the same stick. Your band 🎼🎵🎶 is really good fantastic.👍
Found this recently via HairyCookieMunster and Lowlands Pete who often play music that is really good but not well known in their show (on Odysee). Already found quite some hidden pearls thanks to them lot. These musicians and this song is awesome too! Cheers!
Phat Bollard are absolutely brilliant, I keep coming back to watch this. love this song.

This song was stuck in my head the first time I heard it 👍
I've been repeating this song for the last two hours. Super catchy and a brilliant message!
This band made me look at things a bit differently 👍
People before profit, the people are waking up and change is on its way.
People's perspective's will change but congress won't be uncorrupt and billionaires won't stop being billionaires
Until buskers start building and selling shit like microwaves, this song has zero actual meaning.
Bloody Brilliant song, very catchy & so true of what is happening especially now. Keep spreading the truth guys we love you.❤️
The best tune i ever heard! True words :D
This song is amazing!
sends a shiver down my spine - they need to be at Glastonbury..
best band in the world, no contest
Chatham town centre was made for this group! Absolute legend. Had several homeless people die there ever year in the cold.
When I grew up in the late seventies and early eighties, songs made you think.
It's been a long time but this song has the same effect
Genius!!!
Every busker should play this song
They were in Truro today...Really brilliant!!!! Thanks for the CD's mehts Big Love xxx

You’re not kidding! I used to do trad busking in London and got paid $50 quid outside C and A to move on!! That was way back in 1982!!
