Certainly the politics behind the song makes it hard to enjoy, I think a positive message on the merits of English culture would be a far better way to deal with these issues than the excessively negative way they've done so in 'roots'. Getting in touch with your culture isn't about slating everyone elses culture or in this case any 'native' who happens to appreciate it and the second anyone approaches using the phrase "we're a minority in our own country" I just have to switch off. There are few things more irritating than politically naive musicians playing the moral crusader.

As for the song itself however, it's a pretty good arrangement for what it's aiming at. What it's aiming at isn't quite my cup of tea I have to say but I wouldn't sneer for a second at anyone who enjoys this style of music (whatever label you want to put on it).
