I assume that Billy Bragg laying the East End/Essex/Mockney accent on with a trowel is to do with 'street cred' during his punk days. His speaking voice is nowhere near as over the top. Interestingly he sings Woody Guthrie songs in a more or less 'normal' voice, much the same as his speaking voice.
