GUEST,BlackAcornUK Are racist, but traditional, songs OK? (405* d) RE: Are racist, but traditional, songs OK? 05 Jun 20


I'm glad you wouldn't sing them yourself, Dave, and likewise it was welcome to read your comments about mumming and 'a mon like thee' the other day.

By talking of 'minority interest', I do think you're playing down the cumulative 'scale of the scene' - definitely, far more people in the UK, probably hundreds of thousands, take part in folk music and dance (on a continuum from grass roots, to paying gigs, to festivals) than in far-right politics; that's partly why the BNP tried so hard to get a foot in the door previously, and I share Jim's eagerness for us to not inadvertently give their successors false encouragement to return.

Very sadly, I have been noticing more of this sort of thing again recently, tbh. One of the main Youtube accounts that has shared Peter Bellamy tracks - including all of The Transports and When I Die - also actively uploads videos of Oswald Moseley and Enoch Powell.
