MP attacks Dido over IRA-connected lyrics

Singer told to 'clarify her position' after quoting folk song on new album

Whilst I could never be described as a fan of Dido I do wonder why Gregory Campbell MP thinks she should explain her lyrics. I would like to remind him that we live in a country where freedom of speech is enshrined. She can say what she bloody well likes. She is not a democratically elected person holding a public office. Those people can also say what they think but members of the public would have a right to ask them to explain themselves if they said something that is unclear. In fact, I'd rather him explain why he was strongly in favour of the Iraq war, has never voted on the hunting issues and is against gay rights etc etc. That would be far more interesting to me than anything Dido produces.
