Yorke on Blair…
Thom Yorke is making an arse of himself again. Take a look at this bit from CMU.
He writes: “Friends of the Earth have asked me whether I would meet Tony Blair at Downing Street to discuss what our government is not doing about climate change. I don’t know if this will ever happen for certain…. it is rattling around in the back of my mind and concerns me a lot. I have no intention of being used by spider spin doctors to make it look like we make progress when it is just words. I’d love to know what you think but I can’t ask. You’d say ‘oh there he goes again interfering and meddling in politics – why doesn’t he get on with the music and shut up?’ Perhaps because I feel like a hypocrite if don’t do anything, and equally feel like a hypocrite if I try getting involved.”It’s fair enough. I think I’d probably feel that way too. Anyway, Yorke then had a direct pop at the prime minister: “Blair has been uttering nonsense lately about Kyoto and such, real la la stuff… looks like the American right have finally eaten his mind… blah blah. Why on earth would I meet this man? Or perhaps that is exactly why I should. But I don’t have powers of persuasion; I just have temper and an acid tongue.”
Considering the rubbish that emerges from Thom’s mind its a bit rich saying that Blair’s brain has been eaten. At least he realises that most of us just want him STFU and make music. After all who is going to suffer if the UK invokes the Kyoto Protocols? Rich opinionated arsewipes like Thom or the workers champagne socialists like him claim to be trying to look after?
