about

The song specifically refers to the events at the Grangemouth oil refinery in Scotland during 2013, when the Ineos conglomerate’s billionaire owner, Jim Ratcliffe, threatened closure unless the workers surrendered to his demands. Apparently, the plans for a lock out were orchestrated from his £100 million luxury yacht moored somewhere on the Riviera. There is a massive disparity in power between corporate elites, drawing on a global legal framework, on vast financial and capital resources, and ultimately on coercion through state power or through private security forces, as against workers whose only recourse in a dispute is to withdraw their labour for limited gains. Yet, Lord Ineos is eulogised by the capitalist press as a successful entrepreneur while trade unionists are ‘the enemy within’, holding the country to ransom.
