SIR - It was interesting to see Billy Bragg mentioned in someone's recent letter to this page. His voice may indeed not be the greatest, but like Dylan, it's really all about the words and music and, like Dylan's early material, much of it is intelligent, thought-provoking and of its time.
Here are a few verses from "Full English Brexit":
"I cheered when our side won the Cold War, spread freedom and peace all around.
"Now there's folk speaking Russian in Tesco's, it's a shame the wall had to come down.
"Once we ruled over an empire, so it feels like some kind of defeat, To comply with rules drawn up by strangers, and measure in metres not feet.
"Oh yeah, the sun shines but sometimes I don't feel like this is my country, but to say so?
"Oh no, I never get no sympathy.
"We don't want to go but, by jingo, if we can't be in charge, then we must.
"But don't be offended, dear neighbour, it's not you, it's all about us."
