HURRY UP HARRY
We can only think that it's one of those moments you sometimes get when the dj is meant to play one track and sticks on the wrong one by mistake - because, surely, Tony Blair didn't intend to take the stage to the sounds of Sham 69, did he? He wandered on to deliver his keynote Labour Party conference speech to a video montage and - yes - If The Kids Are United.
We look forward to the next election, where - now the precedent has been set - Hersham Boys will surely be the campaign song...
Jimmy Pursey, of course, reappeared last month having a scrap with John Lydon outside the US Embassy

According to the Newsnight email, Jimmy P will be rocking the show tonight:
Inexplicably the new New Labour conference organisers chose an old piece of Punk as the accompanying soundtrack to Tony Blair's oration. Not for 2005 the earlier decidedly emollient MOR choices. No, out blasted Sham 69 - music to gob on from 1978, with anti social sentiments far removed from the Brighton agenda. Was someone having a laugh?
Jimmy Pursey was certainly taken by surprise when he heard "If The Kids Are United" reverberate around the hall. But after that unsolicited play - he's live with Sham 69 playing a newly worked version of the track - one more in keeping with Mr Blair's rhetoric - live in the Newsnight studio.
See you at 10.30pm
