As the News International scandal continues to spiral out of control with the resignation of Rebekah Brooks, the legendary Billy Bragg has offered his own musings on the affair.

‘Never Buy the Sun’ was written, rehearsed, recorded and released a single in the space of a few days and it’s now available as a free download.

In the song Bragg refers to the boycott of The Sun by the people of Liverpool in response to the lies it told in 1989 just days after the Hillsborough Disaster that saw 96 Liverpool fans die. Concluding that neither press, police nor politicians come out of this scandal looking good. Only the people of Liverpool can hold their heads high. Bragg on the mark once again.
