Aside from his socialist rantings, I'm actually rather fond of Mr Bragg's music. No idea why. 
However, I have to say he [has gone down in my estimations. I can only echo the quote in the article.

"And I assumed that he would keep just enough money to live a simple life and give the rest to poor people or small circulation magazines about struggles.
"I have to say that the sheer heft of Mr Bragg's house has come as something of a shock."

I am not one to decry people enjoying the fruits of their labours as a rule but I have a very strong sense of ‘Animal Farm ‘ about Mr Bragg’s view on socialism.

Yep, it's a measure of the gullibility of the voting population that they are manipulated by such individuals.Blair and Mandelson are only the latest in a long line who've milked the left for all it's worth. Just Google for Scargill's London flat for proof of that.
