I think it's wrong to say Billy Bragg hates skateboarders.
However it does seem a rather lazy article. He doesn't really explain the background to why representitives of skaters refused to meet with other community groups. He is setting himself up against skaters in this. I think it's not a very thought-provoking article, rather antagonistic - skaters don't like buskers - skaters are stopping poor kids have opportunities - which is obviously bollocks. Skaters never needed no grants or arts council to make SB an amazing spot. So Bragg is def being a twat IMO.
