On the day the BPI announced its call for tax breaks for A&R - www.pcpro.co.uk/news/94591/bpi-seeks-ar-tax-breaks.html - has Gordon Brown already started to pour cold water on the idea by declaring himself "more interested in the future of the Arctic Circle than the future of the Arctic Monkeys"?

I'd be delighted if I thought he was referring to my friend Ben Eshmade's chillout collective - www.myspace.com/jointhecircle - but I have a horrible feeling that Gordon's regime could end up like his speech today, sensible but extremely dull.

Where are the politicians to support who actually like creativity and new stuff, and who could have a go at fuelling the growth of a fun, creative society? I don't rate David Cameron, although I believe he is authentic - tinsel on the outside, and tinsel on the inside. Rather than waiting for a real life version of Robin Williams' in "Man Of The Year", who is there now in power who gets that we ought to be worrying less about what a few people want to die for, and working more on what we all want to live for - including a good laugh and a decent supply of new tunes while we're having to work hard to change our habits and stop global warming, poverty and injustice?

Some friends of mine in the '90s delivered aid and helped traumatised kids in warzones which soldiers and even the Red Cross ruled too dangerous. They did it with a big old red bus full of clowns, whose charm and imagination got them through barriers, uninjured. Changing the world takes a lot of creative effort, and I'm wondering who's up to it - who can we support?
