Very slick how this fagg Bragg conflated transgenderism with man made climate change. And Bragg is a staunch proponent of "free" health care, being from the UK, it figures. Bragg has been in the music business for decades, surely he's a man of means. What if any of those people who he claims Mr. Oliver is "punching down" moved next door to him?

[TBP]

The first question at the debate was about his song.

Billy “The Fagg” Bragg weighs in with The Beast With Two Backs defense...

Bragg’s song is awful. I can’t imagine even he believes his own crap anymore. He sounds like he’s just too obstinate to ever admit he’s wrong. Billy Bragg will go to his grave a fool who was wrong in every opinion he ever voiced

[No name given]

That’s what I’d like to know! Since Bragg loves socialism so much, confiscate every single asset he owns and make him live in a socialist nation of his choice for the rest of his life and make him stay in that nation never to return to his birth country, the UK!

Of course.

“The first question at the debate was about his song.”

And that, among many other things, is why this was anything but a “debate”...

Liberals can only see what is in front of them. They cannot understand that unseen costs of having a public healthcare system, forcing people to impoverish themselves so others may have government healthcare.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Never heard of “Billy Bragg”. Sounds like an old limey commie to me. Bragg was a Confederate Rebel. Billy’s been cancelled.

Here he is singing “The Internationale” at Pete Seeger’s 90th Birthday

Bragg is the kind of person that Danny Elfman was referring to, in the song “Capitalism”...

You’re just a middle class socialist brat
From a suburban family and you never really had to work
And you tell me that you’ve got to get back
To the struggling masses (whoever they are)

You talk, talk, talk about the suffering and pain
Your mouth is bigger than your entire brain
What the hell do you know about suffering and pain, you dumb ___?

[Angelino97]

Long ago, Billy Bragg released as CD with his version of The Internationale (the Communist anthem).

[Fiji Hill]

Even the Beatles didn’t debut at #1. “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” which kicked off Beatlemania, entered the Billboard Hot Hundred at #45.

[realcleanguy]

Billy Bragg is a Leftist millionaire. He is completely out of touch with blue collar workers. I listen to his parody and realized it was filled with hate and jealousy. Oliver has a #1 hit without spending 50K and paying for agents and such. Billy was never able to do that. Billy is a whiney little loser

[ponygirl]

Wow, he could host at least four immigrant encampments on that property. And what about the beach? Then he could organize them into unions and they could sing his little songs together.

Gotta love clueless commies.

[Lean-Right]

I think dear Billy is looking
for his lost 15 minutes.

[philman_36]

This is looking more and more like Oliver Anthony singing
his song ‘Rich Men North of Richmond was a deceptive setup.

The left overplaying their hand once again.
