Billy Bragg is reportedly to re-write the words of the hymn I Vow to Thee My Country, after the suffragan Bishop of Hulme, the Rt Rev Stephen Lowe last week said it was heretical.
Bragg told the Daily Telegraph that he had never felt completely comfortable with it, adding: "Gustav Holst's Thaxted is a wonderful tune, but I've never liked the words about unquestioning allegiance to what a country does, whether right or wrong."

Billy Bragg always was a total tosser! I wish someone would put him out of his endless misery.
Bragg's first 45 was a tune called "I want to be a Cosmonaut". He was a Red then and nothing has changed.

Hey Disciple and Brighton BNP, what's wrong with Bragg saying we shouldn't believe everything our country tells us to? What's wrong with him saying what he thinks? He may be a socialist, but what are you guys, some kind of fascists? And besides, who doesn't think Holst's the Planets kicks ass?

And you Spandau Ballet, what's wrong with being a Cosmonaut? At least they blow up with less frequency than some people's astronauts. Stupid Yanks.

What's up, Red filth? Don't be insulting people here or you'll get it ten-fold. Now, go put Billy the queer Red on your CD player and STFU.

Yep, I agree. We had fun with his tour bus one night in L.A. It was the strangest thing, it failed to work any longer after we fixed it.

Everyone remember when Bill Fagg who by the way lives in all White Devon, called for all BNP members to be “duffed up in the street”?
If this worthless little man wants to promote diversity why does he live in an all White area? I doubt he would live in Birmingham, or Oldham, Burnley.

Whats wrong with fascism? I am a white nationalist, and have much respect for Benito's Fascism, and Adolfs National Socialism. I have been called a Fascist more times than I can remember. I wear my beliefs like a badge of honour.
Biily Bragg should hurry up and fuckin die!
Yeah, preferably very slowly along with that bloody bishop.
They will be putting a black stripe in the Union Jack next.
