Billy Bragg releases new song

Billy Bragg has released a new song called “Put Christ Back Into Christmas”. Bragg released a statement about the song which reads,

”The far-right attention seeker who calls himself Tommy Robinson is trying to introduce Christian nationalism into the UK, holding a carol service in central London on Saturday 13th December under the slogan “Putting Christ Back Into Christmas”. He told his followers that this involves “drawing attention to unchecked immigration and the fading of our cultural heritage”.

Stand Up To Racism and Care 4 Calais are organising a counter-rally at 1pm on Saturday outside Downing Street. I’ll be there to sing a few songs. Here’s one I’ve just written to remind Tommy and his mates of the true meaning of Christmas, utilising the tune of the Scottish folk song ‘Come All Ye Tramps and Hawkers’.”

This is his second single to be released so far this year and follows September’s “Hundred Year Hunger”. Billy Bragg released his most recent album The Million Things That Never Happened in 2021. Check out the song below.
