Phone message to Tony Blair
Oxfam, Cafod, Save the Children and over 90 other UK NGOs commandeered phoneboxes on the South Bank and Camden this weekend to give people the chance to let off steam. Members of the public went into the specially fitted out phone boxes to shout against poverty and let the G8 leaders know that they must act now on debt cancellation, aid, healthcare, sanitation, education and climate change.

The stunt is part of The World Can’t Wait – Your Voice Against Poverty Campaign, which will be followed by a huge rally in Westminster on Saturday 2nd June, prior to the G8 Summit which starts in Germany on 6th June.

Q) Where are all the protest singers ? A) Rostock

29-05-2007 11:01

This question has been asked twice now, and quite rightly hidden. For if your idea of an anti-Thatcher song is by the monster-rock Pink Floyd then you are probably just too dumb to educate. When Sid Vicious was signed up he was wearing a Pink Floyd T Shirt that he'd scrawled 'I HATE' on. Luckily anarchist protest songwriting has progressed a great deal since 'Anarchy in The UK' but I still hate 'the Floyd'.
