Thread Name: Folk Against Fascism launch at Sidmouth
Subject: RE: Folk Against Fascism launch at Sidmouth
There was an article in the Guardian this last week (I know...sometimes I glance at the Daily Mail while passing it in Waitrose though...!) about celebrities getting involved in politics and being listened to by dint of their fame alone. Why again is Angelina Jolie an ambassador for peace? I shse a particularly good speaker or qualified in any way other than being vaguely against something or other? Who knows?
I have often wished that musicians (BoNo????) would keep their mouths shut. She says. Types!!! Types with mouth closed!!!
It is enough for me to make up the numbers of people who are simply saying "no" when we have only an hour and a stage full of enthusiastic participants. You would have thought that one hour was enough out of anyone's time to give us a chance to have our little sit-in. You walked out????? Nice show of support for the cause! I do hope you explained to the audience and the people outside why as you left...
