Billy Bragg can orate as long as he likes about his "England" (Review, 25 April), but the message that comes through from this bilious Marxist singer is that he has shunned the poor embattled folkish English he was raised amongst to bask in celebrity style in a Dorset mansion overlooking the Channel.
The England he proclaims in his "anthems" is now not an England of English people but a rapidly balkanising kingdom of every race on earth. London and, more particularly, Birmingham are moving into a demographic situation where the indigenous English will sooner, rather than later, be a minority in their own country.

It is for this reason that the British National Party is looming on the political horizon, a beacon of hope for many and a frightening nemesis for others.

The BNP is a nemesis for all.

Their economic policy is the same old socialist drivel that has failed throughout the 20th century and their racism compounds this.

Dear God. We can report unsuitable posts, yet the editors who judge this unsuitability allow this kind of fascist bile in their printed edition.

The BNP exploit fear and idiocy - Mr Harper displays plenty of both

You may not like to hear what Alastair Harper has to say about the hard demographic facts of differential populations in the UK,Edith, but as Burns has it, "Facts are chiels that winna ding",
Over 80% of the British people want no more immigration.Given the blatant multiculturalism of the LibLabCons is it surprising that the British National Party is experiencing an upturn?

Billy Bragg was born in Dagenham, Essex. That hardly makes him "folky" does it?

His politics are so muddled up that I am not surprised he is now contradicting himself. As far as I can remember, he has not had a single political success:-


1. Backed the 1984 Miners' Strike -- Everyone knows what happened there.
2. Member of "Red Wedge" in 1987 -- Neil Kinnock suffered a crashing defeat and Tories got an even bigger majority

I like his music but politically he is immature and a bit of an idiot. I'd never take anything he says seriously in that respect.

Dear God, what happened in this country's education system that we failed to transmit even the very basics of our culture and political philosphy to the hysterical and very genuinely Fascist commenters Edith Piaf and G above? EVERY smug, angry, political certainty in history that ever decided which opinions must not be expressed to the dumb public invented silly hate words like "racist", "fear" and "hate" to justify themselves. It was the lack of freedom of expression which made them all fall to catastrophes that their "revealed" truths said could not exist. If the disaster Mr.Harper describes, or the answers of the BNP to it, are disastrously wrong then Miss Piaf had better find someone capable of rationally debating and exposing this as Fascist baying and repression are clearly driving voters to the BNP, whether they deserve them or not.

I've never heard of Billy Bragg, and I've obviously missed nothing by that.

Personally, I hope that both the BNP and UKIP wipe the floor with both Labour and Tories in the coming local elections.

That might finally stir up the electorate to stop playing seesaw with the Big Two, who take turns at lowering the country's prestige.

We need a truly radical shift in public outlook to get rid of the arrogant complacency that stems from lack of competition.

Oh Billy, Billy, Billy
U write and sing total drivel
After all "Billy Bragg and the Blokes". How twee is that?
I am suprised commentators are not using big words to that.
Lets face it, Politics is a Circle,. The extreme left (as per Billy and the likes of dear Tommy Sheridan) are closer in their "hate" to the neo-nazis etc then they like to think. Pity some deluded people believe in them. BUT some deluded people also believed in Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao etc etc...

I agree with Alastair.
Those who call the BNP fascist for standing up for the rights of native Brits, including the right to survive as a people, forget that the rights of indigenous peoples is recognized by the United Nations and international treaty.
If immigration and multiculturalism continue their current path not only will the English become a minority in their homeland but demographers have found that they will be extinct as a distinct people within 200 years. The Scots, Irish and Welsh are following the same path.
Native peoples (all peoples really) have the right to oppose this sort of thing and that is what the BNP does.

Billy 'bighead' Bragg moved out of multicultural London years ago to live in a Mansion in Dorset which is just about the 'whitest' part of England.
In his own words the only 'person of colour' in the area is the Asian who runs the local garage/store but he is forever harping onto people not to vote B.N.P.
I would say that the man is a hypocrite to put it mildly.
Racial attacks on white people in England (by mostly Muslim males) are now reaching something like epedemic proportions, you might never read of these because the newspaper editors seem to be under Government orders not to report them (in the interests of racial harmony of course).
Of course you in Glasgow had the horrible murder of Kris Donald a couple of years back that was barely reported by the press. Yet every time we pick up a paper there is usually a picture of St Stephen Lawrence staring at us 15 years after his henous murder.
It is not for me to tell anyone how to vote but it would certainly not be for one of the mainstream parties and of course in Scotland that includes the S.N.P who will surely colonise your country with even more parasites from the third world.
Oh by the way the man can't even sing.
