"If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next" is a song by Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers.
Wire has also acknowledged that he was also inspired by a song by the Clash, "Spanish Bombs", which features a similar subject.
It was recorded in a separate session from the rest of the album and was seen as a potential B-side; its original demo was described by bassist Nicky Wire as "crap.
The first disc includes versions of "Prologue to History" and "Montana/Autumn/78", and the second features a remix by Massive Attack and a mix by David Holmes.
[18] "If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next" was nominated in the category of Best British Single at the 1999 BRIT Awards, losing to "Angels" by Robbie Williams.
[19] In March 2009, it was discovered that the song was used on the website of the British National Party as the soundtrack of an article describing "the violence, hatred, fragmentation and despair" wrought on London by the "great multicultural experiment".
[20] The BNP later released a press statement claiming that "the song had mistakenly been automatically streamed on to its site and had nothing to do with the official party", and that "you can interpret the lyrics any way you want".
[20] The melody of the socialist anthem, "The Internationale" can be heard at the start and end of the video, played on a musical box.
The family seem to exist in a futuristic show room, fashioned into a highly clinical 'home' of sorts.
Nicky Wire described the video as "surreal, mildly disturbing ... with a suffocating feel to it despite its brightness.
