[foxthequaker]

Great song

[MrJackonRocks]

This is WHY America is so GREAT!

[brettsworld99]

@MrJackonRocks america?

[MrJackonRocks]

@brettsworld99 Its an american song but this is UK Version

[brettsworld99]

@MrJackonRocks yeah, so how does it prove america is great?

[TheDa074]

Grade SOng The land is fore the 99 % PEACE(F)

[IndigoJo]

This song wasn't on "The Internationale" - it appeared on an album called "The Disagreement of the People" which was a few years later.

[MarkTAllenby]

A good version, but I would prefer an English version. As an English man I realise that the Scottish Highlands are only mine by national conquest, not by rights. As a result I can't 'like' or share this version of the song.

[FENNYMAN]

@MarkTAllenby national borders are meaningless constructs anyway.

[MarkTAllenby]

@FENNYMAN Touche! Point taken. I agree with you. The world is my world, this world is your world.

[FENNYMAN]

@MarkTAllenby bloody hell, Mark! This is youtube! We're meant to abuse each other.... :)

As a half-Scot and half-English (and even more mixed if you go back further) I can have more of it. We're all mongrels. Excellent song though.

[InParticularNobody]

@MarkTAllenby oh lighten up mate. Otherwise as a born and bred Mercian, I cannot possibly accept a song that also includes the Kingdom of Wessex. C'mon. times change...

[MarkTAllenby]

@InParticularNobody Already dealt with and already lightened up. I refer the honourable member to my previous answer. ;-)

[InParticularNobody]

@MarkTAllenby ah yes. I'm rubbish at not reading the whole thread before I dive in.

This galaxy is our galaxy. Amen.

[foxthequaker]

GREAT version of Woody's song

[3tangle3]

UK = united kingdom ... the word united in this context means "forced" by a few elite and there paid armies on the rest of us helpless peasants lot...there has never been a true democracy and most of us are brainwashed to believe we are something special under a state made by the hanoverians in 1707

[SpaceShipWarrior]

Every one likes Billy Brag should check out the Brit rapper - "Low KEY" and the american Commerade " Immortal technique" and british rappers "Class Actions" the last being less talented but even more left wing.

[hopknoxker]

@SpaceShipWarrior im a big fan of those lot they should all get together and do a song together

[rorybowskill]

Time to take it back from corupt politicians and greedy looters.....ALL who will defend it are welcome in MY HOME

[3tangle3]

@rorybowskill the state regimes have fucked over the populace in the waves of invasions over the millenia

[3tangle3]

Lol yes its your land now the english state invaded everywhere

[brettsworld99]

why isnt this the british anthem?

[iradan64]

kinda killed a good irish mate?

[dm1983]

Disappointed to hear this.

I thought Bragg was an English Nationalist.

F*ck the Union.

Freedom for Scotland.

[TheRedflagflyer]

@dm1983 he is an english nationalist, but even with an independant scotland (which i support) its still the same 'land' and the same island

[3tangle3]

@TheRedflagflyer hes actually not that knowledgeable.............whil­e most of us are 80-90% basque origin...saxon only 20% at best in NE england - norman a mere 2% I agree this island should LIKE the world be very cooperative...but there are cultural difference which the state tries to put down..........my welsh speaking family are like a different world to most southern eastern english

[rorybowskill]

@TheRedflagflyer

so why are people allowed to berWelsh nationalists, Scottkish Nationaliosts, Iriish nationalists, and Cornish nationalists.....but not English nationaliosts who want those countries to be free.....Is itr'cos England has welcomed Asians and Blacks? Oh dear look who is racist now

[CymroGoch]

@rorybowskill I think it's because they can spell.

[adamntg]

@rorybowskill Maybe because Scottish nationalism etc are inclusive, whereas the flag bearers for English nationalism are fascist idiots like the BNP and EDL? If you want to be an English nationalist try being like Billy Bragg. He's doing it right.

[053bss]

This video kills fascists!

[folwert]

@053bss If standing against communism makes me a facist then hell YES I AM A FACIST!

[scarletghoul]

beautiful

[Quag7]

Wow...Woody would have enjoyed this.

Some things are American things or British things. Or even Dallas things or Manchester things or Aberdeen things.

Some things are just human things.

Billy! Come to Tucson. Really! I will pay the bar tab!

[theob64]

Could do with a better video. Nice to hear this version though.

[TheLauraHowe]

interestingly enough billy sought out out band to help him record this song..... Heathens all was our name 16 other musicians all went up to London to record....interestingly no credit to us .....Steve Poitier...Mandy freewoman, Carlo, Steve walker, Maya Preece, Jono O`leary, Tini Bridgman, Richard Whistance, Pock, Johny Aris, Laura Howe, Jim, Theo Simon and others forgive me......

[rorybowskill]

@TheLauraHowe Well done....Be proud to be a part of this great song's history

[magicdog200]
