If I'm not mistaken, the argument being made is the UK folk scene is insignificant because England Lacks Talent, routinely eats it's own young, and are the world masters at grudge matches and beating a subject to death which no one cares about (especially if it involves beating up on anything or anyone with the words 'Celt' or 'Celtic' attached to it).

Oh--and they are extremely displeased in England because they've no folk on the telly. Or the radio. Except that one show with the dirty little man who doesn't play enough English folk music. Of the proper sort. Which should never be sexy or tarted up for public consumption. Except when they want it that way.
