Eliza Carthy says bollocks to Nick Griffin

Eliza Carthy had an article in today's Guardian in response to an article listing the musical tastes of "the world's most evil men" that suggested Nick Griffin was a fan of English folk music. You can read her article here. It includes links to the original article. Her final paragraph is a pithy response to the article...

"At the moment I'm touring with the Imagined Village, an English folk band that includes British Asians alongside guests such as Billy Bragg and Benjamin Zephaniah. You mentioned Folk Against Fascism: we support their attempts to distance folk music from the far right. Bollocks to Nick Griffin. And because talk is not cheap when it comes to this, bollocks to Christian Koch. It's just not funny."
