Who's Mailing Nasty Letters About Billy Bragg?
British musician/activist Billy Bragg has no love for the racist British National Party, which he campaigned against in a recent general election. Now someone (BNP perhaps?), is sending his neighbors a letter calling him a "socialist leftist marxist." Sounds familiar!
About 20 or 30 anonymous letters were sent around to people in the village of Burton Bradstock where Bragg lives, and they're not very nice! But that's to be expected if the bizarre screed is from a member of the BNP, as Bragg believes it is. Rather than tick off a long list of crazy beliefs, look at the group's Wikipedia page for a second and you'll get a general idea of what they're all about.
The village postmaster described the letter to the Daily Mail (screengrab below): "It wasn't overly aggressive and didn't include death threats but it wasn't nice." True. The letter isn't very threatening, but it's still not nice! And really, what's the point?
Well, at least we're not the only ones with a bunch of socialism-obsessed crazies.
