Beneath the gleamingly well-polished 'New Scotland Yard' sign aka the Metropolitan Police Headquarters and a stone's throw from the 'Ministry of Defence' Main Building, London. Cian wrote this song in 2010, relating to the 9 years of war in Afghanistan at that time, since then this number has nearly doubled. The truth is, war has no number, the impact of war is unending, enduring and affects everyone. During its history, the UK's forces have invaded and controlled or fought conflicts in 171 of the world's 193 countries that are currently UN member states, that is to say, 90% of the entire world. Clearly, it's good for business. You just need to skim through this list of wars involving the UK (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...) to see the published gains, let alone the unpublished gains. In exchange for tragic loss on all sides. This doesn't look like the actions of a Ministry of Defence, but rather a Ministry of Offence. I think Cian articulates this better than I could ever dream of, so I leave you with his poignant lyrics.

Track: Dub Dynasty & Cian Finn - 9 Years (mixed live by Alpha Steppa, ft. Don Fe on the flute!)

9 years of war
soldiers don’t know what they're fighting for in the middle east
9 years of war
weapons of mass destruction that never were
9 years of war multi national forces kicked down the wrong door
9 years of war
9 years endured

fire fights light up the sky
every day and night civilians are terrorised
innocence murdered in the crossfire
bombs drop destroy entire
communities,
good families, yous and me’s
private contractors hire mercenaries
conscription is unnecessary
psychology works sufficiently
troops fueled on amphetamines
teenagers armed with m16’s
half the world watches on the T.V screen
where things are not what they seem

9 years of war
soldiers don’t know what they're fighting for in the middle east
9 years of war
weapons of mass destruction that never were
9 years of war multi national forces kicked down the wrong door
9 years of war
9 years endured

you see its big business for the arms traders
its big business for the war mongers its
big business for the poppy farmers
heroin production now strives and prospers in afghanistan
hundreds of thousands of orphan children
mass murder and wide spread starvation
forced mass migration
tell me mister bush was this part of your plan
and mister blair did you under stand
the consequences of you decisions
i wonder can you see what you’ve done evil men

9 years of war
soldiers don’t know what they're fighting for in the middle east
9 years of war
weapons of mass destruction that never were
9 years of war multi national forces kicked down the wrong door
9 years of war
2001, 7th october it began
