Cops intercept innocent text message

A stunned punk rock fan was quizzed by police earlier after an innocent text message containing lyrics to a song by The Clash was intercepted by anti-terror police.

The lyrics in question from a song called Tommy Gun were: "How about this for Tommy Gun? OK - SO LET'S AGREE ABOUT THE PRICE AND MAKE IT ONE JET AIRLINER FOR TEN PRISONERS."

The man who plays in a Clash tribute band was said to be "bricking it".

The police accepted the man's explanation and eventually let him go, but this proves that GHCQ are actively monitoring all vocal and textual mobile phone traffic and nobody is safe.

The age of Big Brother is definitely upon us.
