Their is an interview with a newspaper a few years ago where he says he isnt a socialist. He also talks about money and not wanting to but a yacht with it.

He lives in Britain with relatively high taxes unlike others who move to Switzerland (step forward Phil Collins) and reads The Guardian (left wing paper) and turned up his nose at a journalist's copy of The Times (right wing paper owned by Rupert Murdoch). He wrote songs like Iron Hand and Why Aye Man that were critical of Thatcher's right wing government. Although he doesn't discuss politics you really don't have to be a genius to work out which way he leans.

I remember him saying some time ago that his family were inclined to be left-wing and that he read the Guardian, but more recently I read an interview with him and he said that these days he was more in the middle and read both the Guardian and the Telegraph and then made his own mind up.

I believe it was in Birmingham and the local authorities banned him from performing there for many years afterwards.

This happened at the Odeon Theatre Birmingham, West Midlands - 5 August 1976.

Now can anybody explain me why someone of the like of Mark Knopfler did in the eighties extensively share the stage with that "presumed racist", or coloured  musicians accepted to play with him? We have to assume that EC can't be be reduced to to that shocking and reprehensible incident?
Good question ds1984!
