This belongs to the category of Things We Love About Britain. The Pet Shop Boys have dissed Live Earth, but they are often sharp political commentators in their music, and have a strong liberty-loving bent. Here's a YouTube of their anthem against the national security state ushered in by Bush and Blair, set to scenes from a recent Doctor Who episode featuring the Cybermen. It's the song Integral from their recent album, Fundamental. Think of the Cybermen as tools of Alberto Gonzales and you get the picture. And the threat:
If you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to fear, If you've something to hide you shouldn't even be here, You've had your chance Now we've got the mandate If you've changed your mind, I'm afraid it's too late."
