Daily Mail - Billy Bragg lives in a 1.5 Mil Joint

[David Johnson]

Billy Bragg has a song entitled "A Pict song". Does he live in Scotland? No, he does not.

And he has a song about dolphins. Does he live near dolphins? No, he does not.

And he wrote a song called Northern Industrial town. Does he live in a Northern industrial town? No he does not!

What a fucking hypocrite.

Just trying to help you lads out in your campaign.

How on earth can anyone write about stuff that they dont currently live in the middle of. Obviously he should be writing only about living on the Dorset coast, not about dolphins, wars, northern industrial towns etc etc.

And did George Orwell end up living in Wigan.....? Sorry, getting carried away.

Now where did I put that Daily Mail....

!wink!

David, calm down dear, it's only political trivial shite we're discussing, not the end of the World!

Anyway you said, "Mick Jagger, born in Dartford, Kent. Doesn't live there now. What a fucking cunt."

What's Mick got to do with anything? He never pretended to be a "Friend of the working class", like your Bragg, Prescott, Elton, Blair, Blears, Chayter.............

By the way always remember while we are tearing each others throats out like crazed pirahna, politicians on both side don't actually give a flying fuck about the likes of you and me. They are far too busy raking in the cash and benefits of being an MP. Along with all the other cunts that were put in place in the last 13 years from all the quangos, utilities, public bodies, it's been one long party for the bosses of all these bodies. They have made ?millions. Who do we have to thank? yes you've guessed it, our working class hero:

Okay Jim,

I will stop taking the piss out of you for a moment. It's a sacrifice that I am prepared to make.

Here's a question for you. I guess you will run away from answering it (you usually do, dont you?) so I will give you some possible answers. Am I kind or am I kind?

You think Billy Bragg is a cunt because he lives in a big house and suggests people should join trade unions to defend their rights.

The question is "Would you think Billy Bragg is a cunt if he had moved to a skanky one bed flat on the Dorset coast?

1. If your answer is Yes than you are basically rubbishing 98% of all novels, songs etc. because you are arguing for example, that unless you are living amongst loads of immigrants you cannot write about multiculturalism, even if you might have lived in a mixed area. Or you cant write about living in a town if you dont currently live in a town. Bit of a dumb view, huh?

2. If your answer is No than the only difference is that Billy's a cunt because he is wealthy and wealthy people shouldnt sing about people who are less well off.

I suspect Jimbo that the main problem you have, is like many a Daily Mail reader they are eaten up by envy. He has a big house. I dont. The bastard!

Thats all it is Jimbo. Deal with it because I can smell it from here.

"Well i think you are eaten up by envy David.I have made a success of my life,got a few bob,nice house and car,my own boss ect and you slag me off in your posts as a big issue seller that talks like Rab C Nesbitt."

Poor PH. You still dont get it!!! Here I will explain it.

Whether Billy Bragg is rich or not is of absolutely no concern to me as long as it wasnt obtained by illegal means or tax avoidance.

Whether you are well off or not is of absolutely no concern to me. What I find hilarious is the way you keep going on about it endlessly in your posts about your nice house, your BMW etc etc and then slagging off the less well off.

So to take the piss out of you, because I realise that having a nice house seems to be the main thing in life that matters to you, I accuse you of being a big issue seller because I know you will be offended by it!

To me, whether you are well off or not, a wealthy man or not, a millionaire or a Big Issue seller is absolutely irrelevant. Unlike you, I do not judge people on the basis of whether they are well off or not, long term unemployed or not, but how I find them.

Got it now?

Cheers

Whatever.

However, as you know, there are innumerable occasions on this forum when you have gone on and on about your house and businesses and cars so you cannot blame people for thinking that you are a smug, self-satisfied brainless bread head.

Can you?

David, what gets me about these people is not their support for the poor/disabled/starving etc. It's their insistence that we should dip into our pockets to help the less well off. Not a problem if it's a charity I support, but I don't need Geldof,John and their ilk telling me what to do.
It's all a nice free bit of publicity for them when they go on TV telling people they should donate to (put your charity here) but I'd like to know what they actually donate besides their time.
As for Bragg himself,I find him pretty talentless who can't sing worth a fuck, but that's just my opinion. I wonder how many of the poor/homeless/union supporters he invites to his new pad.

[David Johnson]

Not for me to list them. I would be on the list though. What you should do is
1. Do a search on your posts slagging off the unemployed, the old etc. at the same time trumpeting how well you have done for yourself.
2. Study the reaction of posters to your comments.
