That's my old man's village. Billy Bragg turns out to be quite nice and has been happily adopted by the (hairy-chestedly right-wing) villagers.He was seen by my father in the kitchen of the village hall pouring champagne into glasses on the occasion of a villager's 90th birthday party, and had the decency to get in first with the "champagne socialist" jokes.
I don't like his politics one bit, mind you.

I am sure he is a very pleasant person.....I have no problem with him personally either and as you, he always comes across/seems to be a OK guy except for his politics.He was seen by my father in the kitchen of the village hall pouring champagne into glasses on the occasion of a villager's 90th birthday party, and had the decency to get in first with the "champagne socialist" jokes.

I would have no problems having a pint with the guy either, I even quite like some of his music.

To put the record straight, Billy Bragg's house is Victorian, beautifully and carefully modernised. Incidentally, during WW2 it was owned/occupied by US comedian Vic Oliver.
Incidentally, does it make the jealous whingers any happier to know that the house is all of 20 yards from the edge of a crumbling water's-edge chalk cliff which will one day engulf the house .... ?
Oh, and yes, the next door building is an achingly-trendy boutique hotel which has recently been done up by 'we've moved from London' people.

Wow, sycophantastic...Incidentally, does it make the jealous whingers any happier to know that the house is all of 20 yards from the edge of a crumbling water's-edge chalk cliff which will one day engulf the house .... ?

Rude ?, and wrong. I'm not a friend, business associate, or politician chum of Billy B. But I do like to see the truth printed, instead of supposition and assumptions made.PS...Thought for the day.....There's only one thing worse than a whingeing socialist, and that's a wealthy whingeing socialist.
