Later in the week I spent a fascinating hour in the company of Matthew Applegate, better known as Pixelh8, as he explored the realm of chip tunes - music made from old computers - in a talk at Kettle's Yard gallery in Cambridge, part of their celebration of the work of John Cage.
The legal profession and its liberal supporters will accuse him of playing to the tabloid gallery, while many of those with whom he would once have struck a chord will dismiss it as just more talk from a prime minister whose time is running out.
