Billy Bragg is a multi millionaire because we believed in his oft-professed principles.

But today, he wouldn’t sign the letter in support of Kneecap.

I guess living in places like this can give you- in every sense- a different view..

Fuck off, Billy - sorry for the lack of nuance.

Billy Bragg has his admirers in New Zealand's "liberal" community.

Interesting house and, umm, "garden".

Defensive, disjointed, shoddy: no overall plan but lots of empty sterile parking space.
-Just like it owner really.

Shame. I used to like Billy too but alas...no Gods and precious few heroes.
