"How can you like the Clash," I asked Grant, "when you're obviously a Tory entrepreneur?" "Easy," he answered. "A protest group like the Clash? They're extremely valuable. The disgruntled proles go and see them on a Saturday night, get drunk, jump around, and feel like their grievances have been addressed. Then they're much happier going back to being wage slaves for the rest of the week." I laughed. Back then I assumed Grant was joking. "Out you get," he continued, "and don't forget to feed the maggots."
