And talking of Billy Bragg..

…which, frankly, I don’t do enough on this blog…this week’s Private Eye has a fantastic spoof ‘Billy Bragg’s Revised British Songbook’ in its Diary column (as written by Craig Brown). Sample lyrics include

Are you going to Scarborough Fair

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;

Remember me to one who lived there

Cos Thatcherism brutally socialised her into a

life of inner-city crime
