Manic Street Preachers: 'If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next' – The Welsh band's first UK number one dealt with perhaps surprising subject matter; the Spanish Civil War. Its name come from a Spanish Republican poster from the late 1930s which depicted a child killed by Nationalist bombs under the title “If you tolerate this your children will be next”. As well as The Clash's single 'Spanish Bombs', the track takes inspiration from George Orwell's first-hand account of the horrors of the war 'Homage To Catalonia'.
