As much as I love Billy Bragg he's been dining out on working class credentials for most of his career. This daily mash article is spot on:

I don't doubt his politics though. More the image surrounding him these days.

Sabbath get a pass, though I'm not sure Iron Maiden would with a singer that fences and flies.
Boarding school too. and a bit tory/brexit last time I heard him spout off about this :(
The other lads are more working class though, born in the shitty parts of london in the 50s. One of them is even from fucking Hartlepool.
