Billy Bragg

If you are an imbecile you can think long and hard about anything, it doesn't mean you are going to come to any kind of sensible conclusion.

Sorry about your experience. Perhaps you should stop "thinking" and just take the happy pills.

I like the way DA ascribes motives to someone he has not met and has not listened to in any depth. I think his posts show more about himself than Billy Bragg.

HTH

Hmmm, and what do your posts say about you?

The words gob and tulipe seem to spring to mind.

Is Billy Bragg the most successful singer who can't sing?

The Spice Girls?

The Cheeky Girls

All together now: 'Cheeky cheeky!'

I think if you factor success into the equation the spice girls clearly crush the cheeky girls (Even if they are worse singer).

Billy Bragg is a complete and utter ****.

There you go again. What is it with you and your assumptions? Where do you draw this info from exactly?

Then maybe you could explain why his politics are so at odds with his lifestyle?

I am making a point based on what I see. No I have never met him and I may be quite wrong about him. I am however deeply suspicious of anyone who is rich who supports socialism and who therefore unquestioningly foists the dreadful public services upon the poor.

Give me someone who is rich and who believes in the values that made him rich, and who happily gives large amounts of his money away http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/m.../03/dl0302.xml any day.

If Bragg truly believed in the state as a provider of services then he would surely spend more effort questioning why they were not better run. He wont do this of course because by championing the state and all of its representatives he is somehow seen as being "good".
