I assume that is why it didn't make the BBC airwaves, at least back when 
XTC were in the charts.  The Beeb banned or quietly forgot about any 
song that was contentious thirty or more years ago (e.g. Paul 
McCartney's "Give Ireland Back to tthe Irish", Je t'aime and various 
others).

I believe XTC originally came from Swindon.  I spent much of 1980 there 
and apparently Charlie Watts would regularly attend jam sessions in some 
pub or other and join in.  I never saw him though, probably too busy 
working.
