Pixelated Semantics

A schizotypical inventory

Come out of the cupboard...

The SMH is reporting:

'British anti-terrorism detectives escorted a man from a plane after a taxi driver had earlier become suspicious when he started singing along to a track by punk band The Clash, police said Wednesday [...] The taxi driver had become worried on the way to the airport because Mann had been singing along to The Clash's 1979 anthem London Calling.'

That's right - punks are now 'terrorist suspects' too. There's a pattern emerging--detailed in many posts--here. It's also a theme the newly-released film V for Vendetta strongly argues: our government's security campaigns are not solely about terrorism at all, that this 'war' is even more related to social and economic control and the elimination of dissent. Alternatively, we can accept that singing our favourite anthems to rebellion is now a de facto crime:

London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls...
