Nah, I just think he called them on their hypocracy and they didn't like it. If it had been any other band, I'd be willing to bet Bragg wouldn't have cared, but a band who routinely at one time quoted Marx and Engels putting up a sign like that probably pissed him off and he said as much.

Still, I would have done the samething. Public toilettes are vulgar!

Billy put the sign up, naughty boy. No one would've been any the wiser otherwise!

If Oasis had done it people would've thought it was hilarious, people just wanted a dig at Nicky Wire much like everyone else back in the 90s. Nobody could give a fuck about him now unfortunately, cos you have brainless fuckwits like Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse taking all the attention. Nicky might talk shit, but i'd rather have him winding people up than someone who can't even write a fucking song.

My reply to the bottom one would be 'I don't care, I've brought my own loo with me anyway!'

It was just another excuse to have a go at the Manics at that point, a year or two before they probably would have just realised it was Nicky being a hygiene freak and said nowt much - rather than slagging the band off as an anti-Glasto, class traitor bunch of rock snobs.
