Unreliable Tales episode 2 Billy Bragg

[reggie]

[the-e-dealer]

Oh dear! At least it keeps them off the Road

[HonaloochieB]

Just confirms what I always suspected about Bragg, 'Milkman Of Human Kindness'? Pshaw, Pshaw and Pshaw once more.

'Postperson Of Shite Catalogues' more like.

[the-e-dealer]

Its part of sly and reggies fantasy world where everyone is grateful when they drive around playing loud music in the van. as if there weren't enough young men doing it already

[HonaloochieB]

Can I hire the van? Does techy come with it? How loud is LOUD? Grateful? Everyone? Young men?

Doing it, already? Oi Veh.

[Townleygreen]

is that Dulwich College behind him?

[HonaloochieB]

Dulwich College? Is that Him?

[HonaloochieB]

Behind???????????

[the-e-dealer]

Fantasy? World? Loud young Men?

[Jah Lush]

It is Dulwich College in the background but I seriously doubt anyone involved in the video let alone Foghorn Billy went there. A very unreliable tale indeed.

[Townleygreen]

I believe Billy Bragg is from Barking

[Jah Lush]

That he is. He's not called the Bard of Barking for nothing.

[Annette Curtain]

So Richard/Reggie went to Dulwich College.

Now he drives a round irritating people with his pug faced friend.

Yep, money well spent i'd say.

[stacey-lyn]

Guffaw. I think that's what's called a spoof. What it says on the can - 'unreliable'. For the record, the prosecco commie preaches the socialist manifesto from his country estate in Dorset and climate change, carbon footprints yadda yadda from one of his SUVs.

Btw, tell me you don't get funding.

That's somewhat unfair.

Billy Bragg has a largeish house overlooking the sea at Burton Bradstock, a nice beach in Dorset, but it's hardly a "country estate". He must have made quite a bit from his music, so good luck to him.

He gives his time free to things like Hope Not Hate's successful efforts to oust the BNP from Barking and Dagenham. He also gave a free concert to the people who were leafleting there before the council elections a year or so back. I know, because I was one of them.

What do you think he should do, give away all the money he has earned and live on the streets?

[woodrot]

how come you didnt get arrested for noncery , what wiv the hanging around outside public schools with a video camera reggie ? you should have stuck of clown outfit on for maximum outrage

Surely, you know what I meant. That's just silly. I expected better from you Sue. . .

[the-e-dealer]

Arrested for nonsense!

[Jeremy]

There's not necessarily a contradiction between socialist beliefs and having a bit of cash.

[*Bob*]

That's true - just ask the Millibands

[Jeremy]

Or the entire French government.
