Brackley is a market town in West Northamptonshire and a parish for the local government, close to Oxford. Johnson recalls in "Inglan is a Bitch" that "dem have a lickle factri up inna Brackly" (LIne 43). Johnson had worked in a factory there for 15 years until he was laid off, and implied that he had no worth in the company despite the 15 years of labor, not that he was paid well regardless. The song was released in 1980, and fifty years prior in 1930, Brackely had just demolished its Poor Law Union. It was meant for poor relief through the establishment of facilities, sanitation, and financial resources, and existed for 96 years.
