I have totally went off this man billy bragg, he just stated that criminals deserve more human rights than law abiding people

[Manos99]

@enigma7able Bullsh*t. Let's see a link where he says that.

[enigma7able]

@Manos99 well its actually just came up on bbc question time uk so i dont have any links, but i guess if you google billy bragg question time or even search on youtube you will find it no problem

[Manos99]

@enigma7able I think you quite obviously misunderstood. While he believes prisoners should be offered the opportunity of rehabilitation, and the JAIL GUITAR DOORS initiative provides instruments in an attempt to discourage reoffending, he also believes that if convicted fairly they deserve the punishment of being cut off from society. Participants of the programme have a 10-15% re-conviction rate as opposed to the national average of 61%.

[Manos99]

@enigma7able Oh, I see. You're a nut. When you're the one being held for unidentified crimes, tortured without trial or representation, I hope you have people speaking our for your rights as well.

@brickbat44 Ah. Obviously your school system has failed you. That's a shame.

This man is my inspiration. I'm a 16 year old singer song writer. Started playing guitar of my own accord when I was 7, then started song writing when I was 10. Billy Bragg is my favourite musician, I love him to bits. He gives me hope. :')

[PopInTheClouds]

@enigma7able Why the fuck would he say that? That's shite.

[TheBenji979]

Billy Bragg is awesome!!!

@NowLearnAboutIslam You should know you're wrong. There are a few people out there who use the islam to justify their crimes but that's not different to priests who rape children or countrys fighting crusades for some "god". I refuse to believe in any kind of omnipotent god but by saying these things you just proof that you're not smarter than any of these "islamic" fundamentalists. There are millions of muslims who are much more peacefull than you are.

I'd rather hear the song with the original lyrics and be trusted to see the connections.

[NowLearnAboutIslam]

Not one song about the fascism of Islam.

Not one song about the vile, extreme repression and abuse of Women in Islam.

Not one song about the totalitarianism and supremacism of Islam.

Not one song about the hate-preaching against non-Muslims from the pulpits of Mosques all over England.

Not one song about the female genital mutilation and forced marriages widespread and common in the Muslim community.

Not one song about Muslim child-rape gangs.

Not a sound. Not a note. Not a word. Nothing.
