Billy Bragg - An English Parliament

[segano1]

Fuck sake, hurry up and get yourselves your own independent parliament.

[billysponge1]

so many ignorant and deluded idiots here, englishness is for people who wish to be identified with england via its traditions customs and principles , if you r born here or not and regardless of colour you would be welcome unlike as my experience in scottland , ireland or wales they have not matured enough in my view to welcome the english in their country as they believe we the english are occupiers like some army, grow up we welcome you all here in england

[segano1]

@billysponge1 It's "Scotland", not 'scottland'.

Bragg is a confusing case. He's allegedly left wing, yet bangs on about nations and flags? I don't give a fuck about flags. It's all about how the human race is, not just the English. Bit narrow minded if you ask me.

[wullieready]

NOT BEING RUDE BUT WHATS ENGLANDS NATIONAL DRESS

[wullieready]

FREE ENGLAND. IM SCOTTISH ID LOVE HER 2 BE FREE

[wullieready]

I GET BLOCKED

[wullieready]

IM SCOTTISH AND AGREE. THOSE DAYS ARE OVER AND I THINK ENGLAND WOUJD BE BETTER OFF RUNNING HER OWN AFFAIRS WITH HER OWN GOVERNMENT AND ALL FREE NATIONS INCLUDING ENGLAND CAN ALL WORK 2GETHER IN TRADE AND EVERYOTHER MATTER .A LOAD OF INDEPENDENT MINDS TALKING OVER A PROBLEM IS MUCH HEALTHIER THAN ONE GUY CALLING ALL THE SHOTS. WELL SAID BILL YA GOT MY SUPPORT.

[dubtee89]

anyone know the year of this interview? I want to reference him in a exam!

[TheZanipolo]

why doesn't Bragg fuck off to Trinidad and Tobago? we could give his Dorset mansion to a bunch of Somalian asylum seekers :)

"England is not a country, that's why it doesn't have a football team"

What a total fucking moron Bragg is - stop trying to be a clever politician Mr Asshole Bragg, you're thick as pigshit and not up to it

[Conneisseur2]

@TheZanipolo he is partly right about england not being a country as the E.U. in 1971 gave orders to dismantle it into regional zones (n.w. midlands, etc.), a plan that has been put into effect for decades.

[creamtt]

Bollix bragg, at a poll that was conceived by the Daily Mail 66% of the English wanted a English parliament, do you get that, we dont want your fucking regions under any circumstances you EU arse licker, and what gives you the right to speak for 55 million English, piss off.

[Fibbing01]

What an excellent chap Billy Bragg is!

[infokemp]

England is a mix of the Nordic & Romano-Celtic races.

Conceptual Britishness is about Class Royalist & Tory Money powers (Tory Norman & Jewish diaspira identities; rather than Israeli thats a different national identity). This British identity mixes imperialism of a shell identity of a "British race" which allows for a conception of racial colonization & also a suppression at home of English working/middle class culture, that the dark edge of jingoism

That is why I am an English social Democrat

[3tangle3]

@infokemp britons used to be ppl who spoke ancestral language of the welsh and yet the modern british state is indirectly behind some of the lingual loss of these languages (not all i admit)

[natmanprime]

@infokemp yeah but nordics, saxons and angles go back to germanic origin, in fact romans are kinda north italians, who are more german looking than italian (take that england manager for example), so it's basically:

germans and the aboriginal celts

so, english are germans

you can tell who're the celts because they're kinda ginger/brown haired folk

like the red squirrel

that's why there's english racism against gingers and welsh, scottish, irish

imho

SNP Westminster MP's do not vote on English only matters, unlike Labour, Libs & the 1Conservative Scottish Westminster MP.

[peacefrog1916]

fuck the Union jack, my only flag is the Scottish Saltire.

[3tangle3]

@peacefrog1916 ....not attacking you...but what is the true origin of the scots flag......remember the picts used to dwell in Alba for ages before the scotti came in....i just love variety so have to ask....could the saltire be an ancient version of the union jack as south scotland and east scotland were assimilated into gaelic culture.......gaelic now almost extinct :(....history is a lowery cancerous mess :)

[3tangle3]

@peacefrog1916 flowery oops *

[wullieready]

@3tangle3 THE ORIGINOF THE SALTIRE IS THE SCOTS LINED UP IN MANY A BATTLE WIH THE PICTS AND ON ONE OCCASION SAW THE CLOUD FORMATION OF A CROSS ABOVE THEM. AND IT WAS THE SHAPE OF ST ANDREWS DIAGONAL CROSS AND THEY WON THE BATTLE.THE PICT FLAG WAS THE WILD BORE. THE SCOTS AND PICTS UNITED UNDER KING KENNETH AGAINST THE BRITANNIC TRIBES .SCOTLAND WAS A COUNTRY LONG BEFORE ENGLAND

[Conneisseur2]

@peacefrog1916 exactly! the union jack is a flag of a small english-scottish-welsh-irish empire that doesnt recognise national identity

[strathpipe]

This fellow is an Eejit must be all those Fool english breakfasts he eats infecting his brain Yes infecting Whit a Numpty!! is he really english?

[DavidsIllustrations]

england doesn't have a football team?

[InterviewTubeUK]

@DavidsIllustrations

I think that was a mistake. He meant to say 'Britain'. Britain is a state, England is not...

[raychandler123]

this traitor will be hanged, his time will come. fuck off to the west indies

[wullieready]

@raychandler123 THATS A BIT HARSH . ITS HIS OPINION

[raychandler123]

@wullieready yes and my opinion is that if a national party gets into power he will swing with all the other traitors.

[raychandler123]

bragg is a wanker

[tavyred]

The "regions" of England are an invention of the political elite...they only exist in order to suppress our English identity!

[Conneisseur2]

@tavyred that political elite is the head bigwigs of the eu and the freemasons behind them. the creation of the uk (which ought to be abolished) in 1801 where done by the political elites behind the english and scottish parliaments

[dashingwhitesergeant]

Westminster can be England's parliament. Scotland's parliament is in Edinburgh. We will both be in EU

[infokemp]

@dashingwhitesergeant Excellent comment

[wullieready]

@dashingwhitesergeant I AGREE

[SlowLiberalDeath]

Bragg is an out-an-out traitor who will be dealt with appropriately when the time comes.

[derekbevan3]

We need an English Parliament because the existing one is too full (overflowing)with other Nationalities,mainly Scots.

[wullieready]

@derekbevan3 TOTALLY AGREE. 2 SEPERATE NATIONS AS FRIENDS INSTEAD OF BEING FKN MARRIED HA HA

[mart7676]

billy bragg is a leftwing commie

[mbb05jb]

fuck yeah

[tavyred]

Sorry Billy, the Union flag and Britishness to the English is becoming less and less with each passing year.

Vote for indepence Scotland, and set us English free!

[wullieready]

@tavyred WHY DONT U GUYS HAVE AN ENGLISH VOTE ON YOUR INDEPENDENCE YOU WILL HAVE MOST OF SCOTLANS SUPPORT ITS TE UNION PARTYS U GOT 2 FIGHT GUYS BUT U GET THE PEPLE OF ENGLAND UP 4 IT AND U AND US ALL CAN BE FREE. FIGHT THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE UNION AND WE ALL WIN

[whonut]

The reason why "non whites" are in your country is because of the empire, raping and pillaging around the world. All humans are equal.

[1shaydee1]

Try checking out what other races have done over the centuries, whonut!

[whonut]

As I have pointed out, all humans are equal. I don't judge someone buy their race. Try checking out reality.

[c1991kit]

you're definately not english are you. the british empire was the basically the biggest, the most powerful and the most developed. they made many countries into what they are. india for example, where would they be without the british empire? the british empire did nto rape and screw the world over, the empire is argueably the best thing thats happened to our planet, bringing technology and development to the entire world.

[sakdude9]

you're claim that colonization was in any sense a good moral deed is flawed. Not one person in India can or will agree with you, I am an Indian America, where I believed we had self indulging ignorant citizens however i've figured your conservative movement is way worse and full of shit. I've realized by reading comments here and on other pages that you guys are a bunch of dumb asses trying to reclaim the shit you guys fucked up, ie (all the colonized countries).

[sakdude9]

you're fucked country introduced the world to hundreds of diseases as well as a western ideology where w/o choice, people have to follow. go fuck yourself you racist pricks.

[3tangle3]

@c1991kit so are you saying the british empire never did anything bad....cos you are sadly deluded and very under read character

[Conneisseur2]

@c1991kit there's another british empire called the united kingdom that enslaves england and refuses its own identity.

[wullieready]

@c1991kit imperialism is gone thank god .Every nation has a right 2 self determination and that includes England. The uk is an independent nation but England isnt niether are Scotland or the other countrys in the uk. im scottish and agree with what billy says entirly

[psr300R]

@c1991kit Yeah because taking the homes away by force for the benefit of the ruling classes in Britain is defiantly the best thing thats ever happened! oh and not to mention, leaving the majority of countries in mass poverty!

[robdowling123]

@c1991kit

The British Empire was totally indifferent to the catastrophic Irish famine 1845-50, which reduced the population from 8 million to 4.5 million, through starvation and emigration, mostly to North America. Britain's destruction of Ireland was genocidal and utterly racist. Scotland will leave the UK for other reasons, but it will leave the UK eventually.

[restorer33]

England for the English.

The revolution to return non-whites back to country of origin!

Only then we can restore the land from the urban wasteland it has become!

[dvdstorli]

One of the funniest things I've ever read was a statement in some BNP, NF literature calling for the return of immigrants and the descendants of immigrants to their countries of origin. The piece suggested that that was the only way to fix the economy of England, and then suggested that other countries do the same and be "nationally pure". So I guess that when the United States sends all of our descendants of English immigrants back to England, that will be good for unemployment in the UK?

[evildave9000]

You're fucking stupid mate. Stop living in the 1950s. What would be the fucking point of sending all non-whites back to their (supposed) country of origin? What do you think that is going to achieve? Why do you hate so much?

[restorer33]

In the 1950's white ethnic English were still the majority in urban areas.

I'm living in 2008 and there is a growing number of us who don't give a toss about upsetting the political correct brigade.

[restorer33]

I don't blame the immigrants-the hate is directed at those politicians who brought them here.

1000's of years of developed identity and culture is being destroyed all in the name of economics ie. cheap labour.

[c1991kit]

agree with you, if immigrants come to live in england they need to english. naturally our culture isnt as strong as indian, chinese whatever and we have lost it, now we question what it means to be english? we struggle to think! however i am from cumbria, practically everyone is white where im from, and we provide more troops and a greater love for england than anyone, perhaps because our ancestors have fought the scots, but the white north west loves england and i know this

[restorer33]

well said brother.our generation has been brought up not knowing we have a powerful identity and rich culture.A hostile education system and media has conspired to lower our noble culture and turn it into one of chavs, wiggers,drugies etc.whilst promoting so called ethnic minorities as superior.

[Alfietheok]

Most people in England now see themselves as English. Most people (68%) of people in England say they want an English Parliament. We simply must have an English Parliament, and if that costs the union, then tough - Bill, mate, it's called 'democracy'.... you should write a song about it sometime.

[OurMutualFriend]

We need to march on them like they did during the peasants revolt. We need thousands and thousands. How would they keep us at bay? As someone said on one of my recent videos "Soon an Englishman is going to pick up his sword and when he turns round there will be millions behind him". Where are you Wat Tyler?

[tradingplaces400]

we can do thow

[indirectapproach]

Bragg should sing not speak. He is boring.

[Derventio74]

Put it to ALL the people in a referendum, similar to those held in Scotland and Wales. A national referendum - not the regional idea, rightly booted out by the North-East in 2004. Was Blair paving the way for the so-called 'English Regions' to be no more than provinces in the eventual federal Europe? As was rightly done in Scotland and Wales, let the people decide! Isn't that what democracy is supposed to be about?

[sgtreef]

fuk regions!!!!!!!!!

[euan101]

isnt england part of scotland now lol

[tradingplaces400]

i hope your joking

[vidsee]

Billy - stick tyour regions up your arse

[CASHSURV]

english hating wanker.rise up all u english.know ur identity.anglo saxon true and strong.england is a country not britain wot a twat!left wing wanker billy brag is!!

[atticvs53]

WRAPPED AROUND THE UNION FLAG!!!....never heard so much bollocks!...regional assemblies have been rejected and English people need a chamber in Westminster to decide their issues...scrap The Lords and let English M.P.'s sit in there

[Buggsy61]

Billy Bragg is a prick of the highest order.

On any important questions I would rather ask the lump of cheese in my fridge.

[yobolion]

hahaha the English are about to be bred off their own land!

[tradingplaces400]

why do you go on these videos if you dont care dumb or what

[scottishlowoflow]

england is a country britain is a state BRITAIN has no football team and england essentially is thehead of this stateand im sure england hates the union plus scotland is pissed off because weend up with the worst of worst e.g. englands toxic waste,money siphoned from scotland to london such as the olympics etc.

[ukdooligan]

Why should Scotland getting thier own independence decide if we the English decide our own destiny.Why does he think we are less able to decide our own path!

This is very condecending to all English people.

[nighttraintotula]

I love how he mistakingly (i hope) says england is a state, not a country! excuse me but it is Britain is a state not a country. His mistake is illustrative of why all nations in the UK barring England hate the Union (ie Britain and England are somehow interchangable). Englishness and Britishness are not the same concepts, people in England need to get that round thier heads.

[methadonerulesok]

pricejames I wondered if you actually listened to what he has to say before such critique.

Might be an idea!Just a point as I may disagree,but uphold your right to speak.

[PRICEJAMES]

His contribution for the last 20 years is "Voote Laboor" go away u silly man - stick to yer songs, that is, if they are songs!
