Just got back from seeing Billy Bragg at Garforth Arts Festival. He debuted a song about the News of the World scandal called "Never buy the Sun". Written Friday night, played live Saturday night - he certainly doesn't hang about. He's posted a video clip of him singing it in his dressing room before the gig. I take no credit for the clip which was filmed by, and is the property of, Stephen Grubb of www.altarmotivefilms.co.uk.

    This is wonderful. Such a beautiful song- brings a tear to my eye. I went to watch you in Liverpool last month and when you played this me and my dad were both blown away! I'm going to learn this and play it in my college performance next month. Keep writing, keep inspiring!

    The Sun said I stole from the dead, I urinated on the police whilst they tried to save people from dying. They said I was drunk and unruly. All lies. You must never buy the SUN. its scum. Scouse & Proud.
