In an article entitled 'Looking for a new England' in English trade publication The Bookseller (18 August 2006), Billy Bragg discusses reclaiming nationalist symbols from extreme right groups such as the British Nationalist Party:
'But you've got to be completely clear about what you're saying when you use that imagery. The dangers are shown by Morrissey's problems with the Union Jack when he wrote 'National Front Disco' and appeared on stage with the flag and skinheads. I know for a fact that Mozza is not a racist, but in using those images, people make assumptions.'
