"Corporal Clegg" Performed by Pink Floyd


"Clegg is a great name for a Brit opposed to entering a war… keeping in the tradition of the great British rock band Pink Floyd’s antiwar song," says David Bardallis — Why They Hate Clegg. Explains Lew Rockwell, "Not only did Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats in Britain, oppose British involvement in the US wars on Iraq and Afghanistan—and he opposes British involvement in the proposed war on Iran—but he wants a little independence for his country from the empire."

From later in their career, "the very moving anti-war, pro-family sequence from the[ir] rock opera" — Vera & Bring the Boys Back Home from Pink Floyd's The Wall.
