[lbo-talk] Miliband gossip

[James Heartfield]

I interviewed Miliband a while ago. He seemed very likeable, and quite 
smart. It was mostly about housing, so probably not so interesting here. It 
was around the time of the New Orleans floods, and he said in an aside that 
the violence in the stadium showed that the US had failed to create a robust 
civil society. I said that I thought the reports of roaming gangs in the 
British press would turn out to be scaremongering, and I remember he looked 
surprised at that.

I didn't have to wear a black bra and no knickers for the interview.
