Read the Billy Bragg interview this morning.
Whilst discussing his thoughts on ID cards the following phrase (quoted from memory) appears in the context of a comparison of WW2 and today's threats;
"just because four blokes blow themselves up, they want to bring in draconian measures"
That'll be the four 'blokes' who killed 52 Londoners underground and on that bus in summer 2005 then, Billy?
(Just thought you needed a reminder in case the Dorset papers reported it differently. Tea Rooms are not yet a known terrorist target).
I don't believe in ID cards, either. But I'd think twice before making a comment as glib as that one.

I thought Billy Bragg came
I thought Billy Bragg came across as a shining example of good sense and intelligence throughout that interview. He's the rare example of a musician whose views on politics are actually worth listening to.
It's just a shame I can't stand his music.
