Giles Brandreth *was* a Tory MP, but isn't any more.
Billy Bragg has been on "Top of the Pops" and plays music that can be described as "popular", and it really depends if you're the sort of person that divides the world into "Classical" and "Pop" or whether you divide "Pop" into Rock, Soul, R&B, House, Garage, Metal, Thrash, Punk ... there are so many levels of sub-division possible. But I bet it was just Tebbit being either ignorant or just using a verbal short hand to dismiss the honourable Mr.Bragg.
