MANIC STREET PREACHERS PULL POLITICAL TUNE

Welsh rockers MANIC STREET PREACHERS have ordered a far-right wing political party to stop using one of their songs in a publicity campaign.
The band's 1998 single If You Tolerate This, Your Children Will Be Next has been adopted by the U.K.'s British National Party (BNP) - and the tune has been used to accompany a promotional video for the organisation on YouTube.com entitled The Cesspit Called London.
But the Design For Life hitmakers were quick to lodge their objections - and the song has now been removed.
The track was written about the International Brigade - a group of foreign volunteers who fought against fascism in the Spanish Civil War. The song's title was a popular poster slogan during the 1930s conflict.
