Subject: RE: BBC 4 folk program
Is folk music left of centre politically then fB?
I disagree with that statement, many folk singers and performers are left leaning in their politics, but that does not add up to the same thing as the music its self being lefty.
True many folk songs are by and about the working man, but all working men do not vote Labour. It's a con, and a bit like the Labour Party leaving Labour in their title when they changed their name to New Labour, and quietly dropped all pretence of socialism.
You can come out now!
Giok ☺
