Theres a lot of resentment for songs never heard, talents neglected a folk community betrayed. there are people who say be grateful for what little the BBC provides. I don't think this is realistic in the circumstances.

Having said that, its not these musicians' fault that they are at the vortex of this storm of discontent. Anyway does anybody give a stuff what anybody else thinks constitutes Englishness?

There are those who thought Mrs Thatcher was the flower of patriotism, who knows perhaps they had a point. There were certainly enough of the buggers thinking something like that enough to keep voting for her.
