The McGinty family were in a shop on Saturday and Blunty was being played, I started Victor Meldrewing loudly to the missus that it was bad enough having to go to the shops without our ears being assaulted by his cretinous caterwauling, etc etc. Talk about insult to injury...

Sorry I didn't really mention the fact that if it wasn't for him we'd be toast but it was nice to get my feelings about him out in a public forum. The jerk.

He may not be your favourite singer, but he has clearly been in harms way in the service of his country. Maybe he deserves a little respect for that.

You're right.
Now can we carry on slagging him off please.
I have to say for a 'musician' he leans on his Captaincy far too much for my liking.
There are more than enough wounded or dead soldiers who would be a damn sight more humble about their part in any wartime operations.
He's simply a git.

Maybe, but the balance is restored for inflicting "You're Pitiful" on a cringing nation.

I think you have to look at this interview in the context it took place. It s all part of the Armistice Day rememberance process. Many ex forces guys have been interviewed about experiences they had, some very harrowing and some not so. IMHO the WW3 reference is one of those of the cuff remarks, which if you listen to short clip of the interview on the BBC, was actually first mentioned by the interviewer.
But i have to concede, he should have stayed in the Army rather than inflict his music on us.

I fully agree about the context, only him just having a new album out kinda makes me deeply cynical, on too many levels.

Billy Bragg was in the army. He never used that as an excuse for people to not give him a hard time. He never claimed to have saved us from Lucifer either. I think.

He bought himself out after three months.

I didnt know he had an album out.
Maybe your a closet fan
If I am in the closet over James Blunt, it's a six foot long, horizontal wooden closet with brass handles which gets nailed shut and put very deep in the ground.
I like Mr Bragg, but he was a bit of a fool for signing up in the first place.
