No, Mick I'm not seeking to ban any songs. There are after all many examples, particularly in Ireland, which belong to what you might wish to call opposing traditions. Star Of The County Down and Londonderry Air/Danny Boy spring instantly to mind. And turning to the Balkans, good grief, who would be so foolish as to try and sort out the tunes geographically and politically? And I've already said (somewhere or other) what a jolly good tune the Horst Wessel-Lied is. (And several moments of Wagner if you forget about the dreadful quarters of an hour).

My point is what you correctly state: 'disdain for the far-right folk who attempt to hijack trad music'. I haven't said a word about whether or not England should have a separate parliament. I could, but not here in a music forum.
