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?

The first question at the debate was about his song.

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

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Unions are the answer?

Has Bragg ever heard of the likes of Jimmy Hoffa?

You think to yourself, “No one could be this dumb”, and yet there’s Bragg yodeling into a microphone with the exact crap Oliver was complaining about.

The song has only been out about a week.

Here is a high school sports team singing the song while on a bus trip to a game.

Music can unite and move a nation. No wonder the left hates it.

Bragg's song — which uses the same melody as Anthony's tune...

Is that even legal? Is that a copyright violation?

I thought YouTube took down content that violated copyright.

Woodie was an inveterate communist and fellow traveler. He should be assiduously ignored at all times.

Some say folk music has died,
But I just heard one in song
It told of a country gone bad,
It told of a country gone wrong

It told the location of the crooks,
It told where one was to look
The words were full of truth and irony,
And how these people poorly spent our money

They used our taxes for perversion,
And reported the spending with subversion
Spent it for their own personal gain,
And when the money disappeared gave others the blame

The song has really struck a chord
And people are having to examine their own accord,
It's about time we put a stop to this
And live using the term, Simper Fidelis.

August 24, 2023.
