"Aligning Ewan MacColl with 'extreme politics' doesn't ring true to me."
The constant repetition - (by an proven extremist in his own right) has become a manta - it's chanters have never responded to what has been said here and they have produced no evidence of this accusation
Basically it is being used as a substitute for "I didn't agree with his politics"
Anybody claiming Ewan or any of us) to be extremists were obliged to prove their accusation
Now it' too late - the concentration on politics nearly got this thread closed and it cannot be allowed to happen again
I suggest it should be left there
