G20 Billy Bragg Interview with Bill Maloney

[Saiaton]

Is it too difficult to meet in a pub without smoking? Just maybe pubs are closing down because 'the working class' is happier watching videos at home with a si-pack or two.

To claim the queen is importent is indeed bollocks but to vote NOTA is daft. We're ascribed a tiny vote and we should use it, otherwise we end up facing the cuts that the Tories and pucillanimous LibDems will be delivering within a month.

Divide and conquer, don´t let them split you.

[Slapbass13]

Getting rid of the monarchy and introducing a republican state would bleed this country dry, forking out for a presidential election every four years.

'Middle-class' shouldn't be used as a derogatory term.

I also think Bill Maloney is very patronising.

I also shouldn't have to back up my argument with any evidence about whether I am working, middle or upper class. Being of a certain class shouldn't be a status symbol.

[Vinseneb]

Brilliant! 

[whitenightf3]

To claim the Queen is impotent is bollocks the Government is called Her Majesty's Government.

Brown can implement no statute without her approbation. If that one eyed jock wants to dissolve parliament she can veto it.

She is a member of the elite bloodlines that have enslaved humanity. Whilst we have a Royal Family we will always have a class system because they epitomise it.

Next Election vote NOTA - NONE OF THE ABOVE.

We share your views and comments whitenight, What we mean is she never has, or ever will use her voice for the influence of good - therefore a waste of time and space.

@pnmfilms The Royal family are all Germans...So why do we let them coin it in on our sweat?

Wash the foreign parasites away!

[wairuauriaw]

your world is changing guv, its not enough to be sentimental about a pub as a social instituation when the young working class are blogging, and meeting in other ways,

it was town market, a smoke-o room, a union hall - what comes next is ok because it will work

[Shavenhamster]

@wairuauriaw blogging and social networking is just away for people to record and volunteer their views, believes to be monitored face book and such are already being used to uncover benifit cheats by councils, authority and employers.

[CelticReject]

Yes they are closing down the pubs for a very particular reason. To stop people associating with each other and actually talking about things which matter. You don't honestly think the government cares about people dying because of smoking fags do you. They don't give a flying fuck.

[pnmfilms]

Agree 100%. Check out our BBC Newsnight Interview (Un-aired) we say exactly the same thing.

Thanks for your comments.
