Guter Kommentar vom nicht immer guten Bragg:
Billy Bragg, the singer-songwriter and author of The Progressive Patriot, said yesterday: „I think what he said is inflammatory. He just doesn’t realise he’s playing with fire. I can’t help feeling there’s a certain wilfulness in talking to the NME and bringing these things up.
„Do I think he’s a racist? No. Do I think he’s foolish to say these things? Yes I do. He’s someone who used to be able to articulate an Englishness that’s attractive and charming. No, he’s not a racist, he’s a bore. And to the old Morrissey, that would have been even worse, and I speak as a Smiths fan.“
