26 May 2017 — The Peoples Assembly
We’ll be protesting and partying to the tune outside the BBC HQ as the Chart Show is aired to demand the track is played. If they wont play it on the airways we’ll blast the song to the public ourselves!
Captain Ska’s “Liar Liar GE2017” is a scathing attack on the Conservative’s record in office, attacking the Tories over food banks, the NHS crisis, education funding crisis and a drop in living standards.
The song hit No.1 in the download charts this week and looks set to be high up in the official charts this Friday. BBC Radio One has said “…our editorial guidelines require us to remain impartial and the UK is currently in an election period so we will not be playing the song”
The BBC has been anything but impartial throughout the election campaign with a constant bias in favour of the Conservatives.
For an unsigned band to make it this far in the charts shows the huge public opionion growing against Theresa May and her government – we demand this opinion is given it’s fair play on the airwaves!
Please keep downloading, we have until Thursday night to get the track as high up in the charts as possible!

Band member and songwriter Jake said:
“We’ve re-mastered our Liar, Liar song for this General Election because we want to do all we can to expose the horrific effects Tory policy has had on ordinary people. Theresa May lies her way through interview after interview without addressing the real issues.”
“We’re sick of her and her party of millionaires privatising and cutting our public services while it’s poverty and deteriorating living standards for the rest of us. The money is there to improve the lives of the majority but it’s in the hands of the wrong people.”
“We want to do all we can to make sure Theresa May is kicked out of Downing St on 8 June. I’m confident we’ll get into the UK Top 40’s which would mean the BBC will have to play it on their chart show next Sunday.”
All money spent on downloads of the track between 26 May and 8 June 2017 will be split between food banks around the UK and The People’s Assembly Against Austerity.
