oh come on dennis!!! are you joking? social history and musical history?!?! it was social history during the poll tax riots when ordinary people were shafted and were protesting because they actually gave a shit. no one cares anymore, one broken window on a building made of glass proves that, i feel let down by it, i must have been consumed by the media hype because the reality is people dont give care enough to take to the streets. we dont have that much to complain about, its not 1976! the people out there are standard rent-a-protesters and journo's with fuck all else to do, not ordinary people!! as for billy bragg, he wasnt relevant 30 years ago let alone now, he is flogging last century's protest manifesto and no one is buying it!!!

big yawn! its a plastic protesters, dont know the meaning of a protest song. how can kate nash seriously get up there and complain? Like she would have got a deal if it wasnt boom time 2 years ago, like she gave a shit back then. This whole thing is a joke, protests are so last century, they are more irrelevant than ever. no one cares about it. if i were to take to the streets id soon get back inside if i heard boring bragg, what a bunch of tossers.
