Decoding the Politics in Radiohead’s “Burn the Witch” Video
Leave it to Radiohead to turn the idyllic UK children's show "Trumpton" into commentary on political nativism.
May 3, 2016 Facebook FacebookWhen Radiohead's "Burn the Witch" video surfaced earlier today, the UK press was quick to note its similarity to 1960s British children's television. The Evening Standard called the Chris Hopewell-directed clip "'Trumpton'-themed." The Guardian reported that the video features "animation in the style of Bob Bura and John Hardwick, the creators of 'Trumpton,' 'Chigley,' and 'Camberwick Green.'" The Mirror asked, "Is the video for Radiohead's new single 'Burn the Witch' inspired by kids TV classic 'Trumpton'?"
Collectively known as the "Trumptonshire Trilogy," the three aforementioned stop-motion series were created by Gordon Murray and began airing in 1966. Murray is 96 years old now, according to his son-in-law William Mollett, who told me over the phone when asked if he was aware of the Radiohead video, "I'm not aware of anything, no." (Hopewell wasn't immediately available for comment, and neither were Radiohead's publicists, when asked if the band sought permission from rights holders.)
However, it's not clear that Radiohead would've actually wanted Murray's blessing for the "Burn the Witch" video, which ends up resembling a bit of vintage UK cinema far more familiar to non-British viewers: '70s horror film The Wicker Man. Teased since the mid-'00s, the song finds Thom Yorke intoning ominous commands like "Stay in the shadows/Cheer at the gallows" and "Abandon all reason/Avoid all eye contact." Arriving at the current chaotic moment in global politics, though, and set in the quaint visual context of "Trumpton," the "Burn the Witch" video plays as a pointed critique of nativism-embracing leaders across the UK and Europe, perhaps even the show's near-namesake stateside (Donald Trump, anyone?).
Like "Sesame Street" in the states, "Trumpton" has continued to resonate across UK culture, aided by VHS/DVD releases and a 2011 digital restoration. Pitchfork's London-based contributing editor Laura Snapes tells me the "Trumpton" fire brigade's roll call—"Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grub"—is "like a little British poem that everyone knows." Noel Gallagher has even credited one "Trumptonshire Trilogy" character with inspiring the "slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball" line from Oasis's "Champagne Supernova." Unlike the proudly urban and diverse "Sesame Street," though, "Trumpton" mostly portrayed a quaint village life that was already a halcyon idyll in austere post-war Britain. "There's no crime, you know, in Trumptonshire," Murray recently told the Sunday Post. "It's a happy world."
In that sense, "Trumpton" reflects the mythical small-town "family values" often championed by the sort of right-wing politicians who, let it be said, have never exactly been Radiohead's cup of tea. The connection between "Trumpton" and far-right politics became explicit in 2014, when a Twitter user with the handle @Trumpton_UKIP began poking fun at the right-wing, populist UK Independence Party—and a UKIP politician called for a ban on the spoof account. Sad!
The outcome of all the gallows-cheering and reason-abandonment in Radiohead's "Burn the Witch" is foreshadowed in the song's title. It's no coincidence a witch hunt was also at the crux of Arthur Miller's English-teacher favorite The Crucible, a play that emerged during another moment of paranoid demagoguery (McCarthyism and the Red Scare). Paranoid demagoguery, you probably won't be surprised to hear, is having a bit of a moment. In the UK, "Trumpton" might embody the bucolic vision of UKIP, the party that has found success in recent years opposing immigration and the European Union. Over in France, the anti-immigrant, anti-Europe National Front—led by Marine Le Pen—has forced unusual alliances between the mainstream parties in order to defeat her historically controversial party. Whether the country is Germany or Sweden, Denmark or Hungary, anti-immigrant populists are resurgent throughout Europe.

Reviews for "The Secrets Behind Cupcake Magic: A Look into the Menu"
1. Emily - 2/5
I was really disappointed with the Cupcake Magic Meni. The cupcakes were dry and tasteless, and the frosting was way too sweet. The presentation was also lacking, with the cupcakes looking messy and unappealing. I had heard good things about this place, but I would not recommend it to anyone looking for delicious cupcakes.
2. Jake - 1/5
I've had better cupcakes from a box mix at the grocery store. The cupcakes at Cupcake Magic Meni were stale and had a weird aftertaste. The flavors were also very limited and not impressive at all. I don't understand the hype around this place, as I found the cupcakes to be a complete letdown. Save your money and go elsewhere.
3. Sarah - 2/5
The cupcakes at Cupcake Magic Meni look cute at first glance, but they are definitely not worth the hype. The flavors were bland and lacked creativity. The texture of the cupcakes was dry and crumbly, making it hard to enjoy them. I expected more from a dedicated cupcake shop, but unfortunately, this one didn't deliver. I won't be returning.
4. Alex - 2/5
I found the Cupcake Magic Meni to be overpriced for the quality of the cupcakes. The portions were small, and the cupcakes themselves were not anything special. I could have gotten better cupcakes for a fraction of the price elsewhere. The staff was friendly, but that doesn't make up for the subpar cupcakes. I wouldn't recommend wasting your money here.
5. Emma - 1/5
Cupcake Magic Meni was a huge disappointment. The cupcakes were stale and tasted like they had been sitting out for days. The frosting was way too sugary and overpowering. I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately, it fell short in every aspect. Don't waste your time or money on these cupcakes.
