;‘Love me or hate me. It’s a great read’ - Billy Bragg;; He was a punk. He was a soldier. He was a flag-waver for the Labour Party and the miners. He is Billy Bragg, passionate protest folk singer and tireless promoter of political and humanitarian causes around the world.;; His life encapsulates so much about his generation- born in the late ‘50s, passions forged by punk, politics shaped by Thatcherism, career inspired by engagement, hope provided by the end of the Cold War and ideology galvanised by what he sees as a 'post-ideological’ twenty-first century. He adapts to survive- serious about compassion and accountability, he likes a laugh too, and has never forgotten where he comes from.;;Still Suitable for Miners is the official Billy Bragg story, tracing his life, family and career at close range from Barking to the present day.
