Scouting for street cred

Culture secretary Andy Burnham and Tory MP John Whittingdale fell over themselves to show how down with the kids they were at the House of Commons culture, media and sport select committee today. Talking about ticket touting, Burnham let slip he had been to a gig with his wife last week. "Have you heard of a band called Scouting for Girls?" he asked committee chairman Whittingdale. "Of course," the Tory shot back indignantly. Next week, the lads discuss The Hoosiers.
