Ebenezerlan - well done! Hope you also make every effort to support British farmers/ producers as far as possible - they need all the help they can get.
@EllyMcCormack: Oh dear, your insouciance belies an ignorance that is disturbing. And I'm wetting myself at your delusions Elly; Listen to yourself: "immigrants are not a different race"; Think, really think about that statement. I reckon millions of immigrants and their descendants from Asia, the Caribbean and elsewhere ARE of a different race and you resent them all, black or white. You are a racist, you just don't realise it; idiot.
@EllyMcCormack No Elly, once again, you're wrong. I don't enjoy this, but racism, however nonchalant should be challenged every time it raises its ugly head. Don't say things that you can't justify, especially in public.
Yes, Sir. I'm sorry. Please accept my apology, you're clearly far better than me. Please accept my sincerest apology. In fact... you know what? I love you. I think you are better than me. I think I would die for you. YOU are a amazing. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise! You're lovely. <3
It's 'you're', not 'your'. Now go off and listen to 'The Imagined Village' and see how multiculturalism can create great folk music. I have important things to do like rule the world and challenge more stoned students who should be writing essays and creating revolutions.
Yes, as I thought: a stoned student, probably an arts undergraduate. Too much time on their hands and surrounded by narcissistic (you nearly spelt Nazi there: careful!) friends. No you're not 'dumz' Elly; in fact you're quite smart, just a little naive and caught in the romantic fantasy of the English Idyll. Discuss.
Sorry angusferguson, but I'm convinced your original bout of ridicule was much more accurate. I'm an idiot. And you made me this way, Dad. AND yes, I'm aware its you Dad.
First time I listened through the whole thing (I didn't know about June and the comments put me off) and I loved it. The message is extremely positive. Common-wealth and common ground. If you haven't listened yet, don't be put off, and certainly check out more of this marvellous singer!

Richard Bridge organised himself a spanking orgy (he was the spankee) with some authoritarian girls in uniform. One had a hidden camera and sold the pix to the News of the World. The News of the world decided to report that the girls were in nazi uniforms and Richard sued for invasion of his privacy - and won.
Don't you read the papers?
It is one of the biggest threats to press freedom for some time - and indeed there was a big thread on it here. He is an authoritarian in a sport of wordlwide.
I'm very ignorant of all the problems that you must all have with each other, but I would be nowhere at all if it weren't for England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales! At least you should be thankful that you have such rich culture, I have nothing. :-(
apples091: I don't know I would even call this 'folk' music - there is more jazz in the keyboard and fiddle work than Cecil Sharpe would have recognised in his orthodox and provincial notions of folk song. But nice song, well sung, and with a 'common-man' touch. Unlike the ghastly 'Roots' by Show of Hands which certainly is nationalistic, IMO.
A much meatier song in it's lyrical content than most of what passes through the Rock/Pop genre these days. At least it's polemic is presented straightforwardly for all to judge - just like folks songs used to be..
But what a shame that it should generate such poor a poor standard of debate contained in the comments thus far.
a song of England , in the are auld times, Bragg would love this, Englishness is fine to be proud as is being Irish, or Scottish or Welsh. Uor commonalities are expressed through music like this
Thanks for a note of sense, apples091. Just been catching up on previous replies to replies, which YouTube does not notify to the video poster. Hope they were tongue in cheek.
gaelicscot it is blatantley obvious you are a knobhead but aren't all you people who have been oppressed, down trodden, enslaved by the english, so do the ENGLISH a favour, come and get all the other knobheads who have escaped to ENGLAND and take them back to that shit hole you call a country PLEASE.

We'll kick you out. The Scots will require passports to get into England, but we won't allow you in anyway. Now piss off and toss your splinter of a caber.
You owe scotland billions due to the plundering of OUR oil. The barnett formula should be recalculated to give us scots our fairshare, we dont receive enough given the billions upon billions we have put into the treasury from scottish oil and gas.
we dont beg we take what is rightfully ours.
we scots dserve free prescriptions, university tuition fees elderly care etc. etc because we have already paid for it off our oil. :) Now send that fucking check up here, it better not be late.
