Yes, I see what you mean. I think maybe the 'negative message'/'whinging' accusation could be partly because they protest about several different things in the same song (but I haven't read the mudcat thread), but I think that's a reasonable thing to do in the context of the song and the chorus. Bragg covers the issue but without going into specifics as much. He has the income, status, etc. to take time off and write a book about the specifics instead of putting them in a song.
