Back home after a week in the sunshine, got a take-away ordered and loads of TV to catch up on.
Did I miss anything exciting on here?

This is true, too fond of sleep.
Are you at work again?
I am indeed. I had to work late last night got f**k loads of personal work to do as well so these extra days are playing havok!

Not in the Sex Pistols mode perhaps but he's always been anti-establishment and is currently very vocal about the student riots. However Che Guevara he aint but a guy and his guitar just singing good songs (to my ears anyway) is a refreshing change from X Factor auto-tuning.
The Sex Pistols were as rebellious as a bowl of trifle
Billy Bragg has been the voice of rebellion for decades now
I think you owe him an apology Roscoff

It depends on your view of rebellion really. I've always admired his stick up for the underdog stance and have been a fan for a long time. However he isn't an anarchist he believes in a welfare state and so on. I guess in your eyes he's a rebel in my eyes the much needed voice for reason.
Reason is rebellion these days.
Sid Vicious killed his girlfriend because he was wasted.
Then killed himself because he couldn't face getting raped in prison for the next 30 years.
All I can say is I wish the same fate on George Osbourne.
Yo.

Hmm, two very different types of 'rebel' there. Bragg is rebelious in the sanitised, law savvy way that Mark Thomas is, pushing boundaries, encouraging the public to challenge our corrupt rulers and unfair policy makers. A very organised sort of rebelion.
The former lot were much purer rebels surely, in that they had no real cause to promote, no great agenda other than self publicity and just to rebel and say 'stuff the system.' If it was a rebel competition, I'd give it to them hands down. Easily.
So because Bragg obeys the law he's sanitized??
What did you expect him to do?
