I'm just looking for a new England

Sentimental old nationalists get all offended when you tell them to stuff their Englishness, or Welshness or Frenchness up their Coriolanuses. See Billy Bragg yawning on yet again about it (that link works - soz about the others like). What he doesn't get is that socialists see all nationalisms a bollocks per se. It's not that we want to cede the idea to the BNP, it's that we should throw both them and the idea of nationalism in the bin. He really should stick to writing songs.
