"Those songs would be offensive Ian, and if you do not understand why it speaks the less of you."

See. That's why folk clubs are dying. (The debate here, incidentally.)

Too many people putting their values to the front.

Many people moan about folk clubs dying, but do not take into account that most people are uncomfortable with the mainstream views of people who turn up at clubs.

Often sit smiling, bemused even, that people who sing songs about riding to the hounds, hunting songs and chasing the fox seem to be the same people who celebrated when Bliars's government made it illegal. Surely the protest movement was about opposing the will of government? Or am I wrong again?

Somehow, I doubt it....
