The Government is currently having a go at comedy under its Incitement to Religeous Hatred Bill - any a serise of high protest comics are up in arms - comics that have previously ben staunch labour supporters.

I have heard a sucession of high profile musicians on the Live 8 issue. I wonder if any of them (including Sir Bob) remember their starting roots and if they are aware of the Governments attack on live music? If so when live 8 is over what about a campaign?   Does anyone have any influential connections?
