first time Ive seen this
Wiki says this of "The L-Shaped room":....
The Smiths chose to open their 1986 album, The Queen Is Dead, with a sound sample from this film — taken from the scene at the house in London during the Christmas season, in which Mavis (Cicely Courtneidge) leads her fellow Brits abroad through an off-key chorus of "Take Me Back To Dear Old Blighty".
But English football songs may change its tone forever....
All the British football fans should be ashamed of it.
I hate football (soccer) and this makes me even more hate it.
The back story to this sounds far more interesting than the song

Looks like the 'singer' in the video bought some old film cans on ebay, one of them had a film inside, turns out to be a Charlie Chaplin film that most thought had been lost to the ravages of time. It's a WW1 propaganda film, in it Chaplin holds up a sign that reads "Take me back to dear old Blighty". The guy who bought it thinks he can make his fortune from it...

Why ashamed? Embarrassed/annoyed/Non-plussed I can understand, but I don't comprehend why I should feel ashamed by this?
Can you help?
