    Remember a Billy Bragg concert back in the day, when there was a busker on the street around the corner, doing BB-numbers. At the end he emptied his guitar case into a homeless person's hat - and walked on stage. Brilliant warm-up! Thank you, Billy! 😃

      During the 2005 general election campaign in the Bethnal Green and Bow constituency, Bragg endorsed Oona King, the Labour Party's pro-Iraq War candidate, over George Galloway, the left-wing socialist anti-war candidate

    I saw Billy in NYC around 83,84ish...it was a long time ago. I was 20. My girlfriend convinced me to go see him, she couldn't make it so I went on my own. Anyway, it was a long, thin club with a tiny stage, with a small balcony, if I remember correctly. It was standing room only on this small balcony and I witnessed a real talent, one guy , full of energy, a guitar and fantastic song writing. It was packed and the atmosphere was electric. What a night. Thanks Billy.

But if he's upsetting this many easily annoyed right-wingers then he's probably right up my street. I'll stream his stuff and support him any way I can. Thanks for bringing him to my attention, snowflakes. x

No bass, no drums, no keyboards, no trio of backup singers. It's a beautiful thing. Billy and I probably don't see eye-to-eye politically, but that doesn't prevent me from appreciating his artistry.

      "Daily Mail-reading fascists". Oh, you asshole. As if the mainstream papers even represent any constituency, in the way they once did - decades ago, you come out with toe-curling nonsense like that.

    Lot of hate here, mostly from people who think socialists should be poor. Whatever socialism is, l am sure it is not about hate. He has made a success of his life by his own efforts so good luck to him. My main objection is his absolutely horrible singing voice. Good song.

      @@user-mt3ie2em9b I live in a typical Cheshire commuter village full of people who vote Tory but the ones l know are far from uncaring. They are not monsters. So that doesn’t even begin as a definition. And l really don’t get why you think he hates working class women. That is a horrible and untrue thing to say. I am not a not a fan of his music incidentally. I love great singers like Aretha Franklin. He is at the opposite end of the spectrum.

      @@user-mt3ie2em9b First thing to say is what you are talking about has nothing to do with class, it’s a gender issue. I do not know why you have inserted working class into it. Second and l am guessing here, if he expressed such views, they are no more than was what until recently the standard progressive view that trans men are women. I don’t think that makes him a woman hater and l don’t think that should make him someone you have decided to hate. There is far too much hate already. If you going to choose hate figures why not Trump, Rees Mogg, Putin, Farage etc. These are your real enemies. Incidentally, do you know any trans people? It makes a difference. I will tell you about them separarely
