Billy v the RBS Fatcats

The topic may be beyond the normal remit of the blog...but how long is it since the last Billy Bragg post?

Too long, so here he is in CIF, proposing "Anarchy in the UK":

How did it come to this? I've just been called an anarchist in a live radio interview by a woman who works for a company that head-hunts financial high flyers. Why? Was I suggesting that we should abolish all forms of centralised authority? Was I calling for the overthrow of the capitalist system? What exactly had I done to suggest to her that I wanted to tear apart the very fabric of society?

I had told her that I am withholding my tax until the chancellor of the exchequer acts to curb the bonus payments to investment bankers at RBS. "What if everybody did that?" she cried. "We'd have anarchy!"

As so often is the case with the Billy, the best you can say is that his heart, at least, is in the right place but...

I don't agree with a fair few of the present government's policies but, as the head-hunter asked, what if we did all follow Billy's example? Anarchy, yes, but also a collapse of the NHS, our state pension scheme, social services along with the one or two slightly more hard-up investment bankers.

He hasn't really thought this through has he?
Whatever, if you still want to show your support, here's the relevant Facebook page.
