I was not having a go at you Ophelia, more the BNP Attendee's post.

When I take the stage, as I did at George Square in Glasgow, prior to, and for the duration of the first Gulf War, everyone knows who I am, and what I stand for.

(Week before the war had to get off the platform to let all the Labour MPs on, including current Ministers, week after just had George Galloway and Maria Fyffe).

I find that the anonimity the performers at this event strange.

As has been said on this post or another, the 50/60s revival had artists who's politics were on the left, but none of them were afraid to be named as supporters.
