Thread Name: Billy Bragg and incitement to violence
Subject: RE: Billy Bragg and incitement to violence
I saw Billy a few days ago in the Pontardawe Arts Centre and he was fantastic! One of the highlights of his set was the oh so timely "You Fascists Are Bound To Lose" by Woody Guthrie and he encored with the beautiful"Between The Wars". It was a passionate and committted performance and highly political and all the better for it.

And the BNP is an organisation of thugs,bigots and race haters.
Anyone who would like to take a look at the criminal convictions of some of their core leaders should go to the website "Lenin's tomb" and scroll down.

There is plenty of stuff there about their thuggery, terrorist connections, vile racism,fascism and so on.It makes sobbering reading.And of course these people have to be challenged by anti fascists [and that should mean all of us ]..we have the warning from history to remind us what happens when the race haters gain power.
