Lily Allen posts anti-racism song

Lily Allen has posted a clip of a new song, 'Guess Who Batman?', on MySpace, which began as a response to the BNP and now broadly criticises racism and homophobia.

Lily Allen has posted a clip of a new song that is anti-racism or, as I'm sure Boris Johnson would prefer to look at it, "pro-diversity". The new track is called 'Guess Who Batman?', which Allen says started as a rant against the BNP, but which has expanded to be a more general song hitting out at racism and homophobia. Writing on her MySpace Allen said: "This song is not a direct attack at anyone, it was originally written about the BNP in the UK, but then I felt this issue has become relevant pretty much everywhere".

Lyrics include: "Look inside your tiny mind, then look a bit harder/'Cos we're so uninspired, so sick and tired of all the hatred you harbour/So you say it's not OK to be gay, well I think you're just evil/You're just some racist who can't tie my laces, your point of view is medieval/Fuck you, fuck you very much/'Cos we hate what you do and we hate your whole crew, so please don't stay in touch". I expect Boris to learn it word for word.
