Live8 controversy...

Hi, Amanda and myself were lucky enough to win tickets to Live8 at Hyde Park. We left very early and travelled to London in order to be at the gates by 6:30am and to our joy we where very near to the front of the queue! When the gates opened at around midday we ran into the park in order to find a place near to the stage only to discover a 'golden circle'? We found ourselves so far from the stage that the groups were reduced to mere ants! Wasn't this concert about equality, or am I missing the point? Why were the 'privileged few' allowed so close and us mere peasants kept back? I believe that the VIP's should have had to either mixed in with the crowd or be enclosed within an area along the side of the park and not the front as this demonstrated sheer class divide which made us feel physically sick!

Also to top it of we was informed that David Beckham was present within the Golden Circle... Beckham accepts huge amounts of 'sponsor' money from third world labour abusing corporations like Nike, what on earth is going on!?

Please feel free to contact us for a full story (no payment required). We don't wish to mock the event however we did witness double standards.

Martin & Amanda, Cambs.
