The heckler doesn't appear to have received much support - but well done Mr Yorke for standing up to him.

Yet another useless lefty type moron embarrassing himself with his fake outrage. 

[Peter Pedant]

fake outrage - how unfair to Mr Yorke! ( ooooh Gawd the mods will be after me forr that !)

Heckler - what about all the dead babies and bombing in Gaza

Mr Yorke -whaddya mean? I am dead to the world from drugs a lot of the time and bombed out as well !

The heckler asked how many more deaths it would take, and from the posts on AB - a jolly lot more !

 

[Peter Pedant]

that was a dissenting opinion so wont last long at all

Maybe Yorke is appalled at the amount of anti-semitism nowadays,just as the decent minded members of AB are.

Interesting. Protest if you want, but there's a time and a place, and the place isn't in the middle of a gig.

 

Peter - from what i understand, Radiohead are a pretty clean group drugs-wise. Pete Doherty he isn't.

[naomi24]

Chances are he doesn't concern himself with world politics at all.   Protesting at something like that is just mindless.

[Peter Pedant]

it made the news

we protest about Gaza regularly on AB and no one gives a tinkers curse

Perhaps its time to move on now.Let the Israelis do the best they can in the Middle East,the remainder of the world should just leave them to it.Interfering in others wars have never been a good idea for us Brits.Perhaps Yorke feels the same way about the Yanks?
