famous. you wrote most of the biggest successes of pink floyd. you're a rock star and you are now very involved politically why why did you take that course. i've always been very aggressive when i was a poem and sort of very political house so my mother would say i'm my father before it was killed mcculloch parent members of the communist bus and then when he was a young teenager maybe 13 of boards he'd one day my mother said to me you know roger you're going to come up against different decisions that you have to make you know and i. when you do. it straight maybe you identify that as a decision that's been made and then you have to do research you have to look at these questions from every pippen and that's you won't commands. and then you will

down the day and you will have done the difference whether it's on the scene of to die for hunts next because you simply do the blanks thing than ours lesson the mom she's been there through that so. that's and that's and. if you senator. imagine if every prayer in the world with satan was in the sails of the child my mom and since then you have to educate yourself enough to take straight in character charge find out what's out there and before you make a decision. and then having made that was that you have to do why her thing was brightest. in all beings it's. pretty

pretty beat in human rights. not interesting that's not even there of citizens they couldn't think couldn't came to peace with the citizens of the united states and. never mind citizens of any other than i you've been quite vocal about your opinion about donald trump you among other things you called him a mass this troyer of everything that any of us might love what do you mean well don't track pets no interests for instance and nobody he has never been interested in. he has no interest in compassion he has no interest in me and. he has no interest in the chair he has no interest in the post you have special interest in geography there's no interest in a cup of tea he has no interest in what he has no interest in. or he has an interest in he's in several and he's eaten and and isn't tonic can stand for his

life to be one big reality t.v. show where he said in the developing it's good about him so he has a very very small mean spirited it never paid of them on their well that i would like to him because each of to be 19 is when we. grew very rare. axioms know and wisdom is joe joe biden the better choice joe biden is no different joe that's a puppet he's just he's he's the other glove puppet you know that both they're both culprits the monster lives between the suckers which he hates well i've been trying to describe which is which has created the monster that it's the united states of america and you know the seats that come from for 3 or 400 years got it all comes

from european colonialism the british empire was a disgusting monstrosity we were pouring we could we didn't exactly what the americans are doing now and we did it for several 100 years along with the approach he is now the spanish and the germans and the dutch and the better chance than we and we we went around the planet stealing rape and destroying. everything just so that we or us could be a stream even of the constitution in the united states was very carefully written by the founding fathers to make absolutely certain that power would never orleans people bundestag and certainly it's not going to do with the current system in you have used to. jump and. sniping at each other it's called the openness and when

it's where you keep a conversation so tightly focused on in this case this election but it's completely elections you know rather than the picture around it it's they're going to make sure that they don't let the people look at. because it because if they did stop nothing i said they would stop undermining the pound base and they would start removing. from the very very wealthy and you don't you don't have to be able to do simple arithmetic secret ones what i say is. the ok i'm not a sure that you seem quite involved in the palestinian one you have been very vocal against israel's occupation policy and that backfired people like is being anti semitic and it was specially because you showed support

for the boycott this invest in sanctioned movement to be the yes move it but why did you get involved because the palestinian people love to back him sometimes 6 in 2000 find. palestinian civil suits start to beat us and they asked people who were not history and i asked anybody in the rest. to join. in and find. see if brain. made say. human rights freedoms quite clearly are not and it's not safe never. never spoken as being the i'm susan it's a word or it's in my hands hot i think for utter nonsense mentally so what's in my head and in the prop and count the machine it is rape his son he's huge and he

spent millions and millions and millions of dumbass simply trying to spread his mind that anybody who speaks against israeli government forms it is nonsense and some have criticized you saying that sometimes you have conflicting positions. like on one side you are defending the rights of the palestinians and then on the other hand it seems that you supported the russia russia's move in crimea and many a crane is would tell you well that's an occupied land as well at the moment so how can you explain that. and explain it by simply that the narrative accepted in the west about the russians an accession of crimea is complete. as you only have to look at what actually happened in crimea where crime and came from crimea which creates you don't to the say. so what's been

a deeply divided country with the silence and me being predominant played. by russian speaking. people who adhere to little or kinds of russian for titian's the most. so when they missed this illegal. but the whole question made protests and what happened is open to interpretation and i'm sure there will be many history is written up anyway but we know that the victorian unions and the cia were complicit in setting up this western. aid for. cia and united states government opus rates occur against the jews you know that jade's president and government of the crane back in the day or he is and the imposition of this new government so the country became entirely fractured that

when. there are them our staffs other than the accepted western narrative which was to overlook with screening the people of ukraine from the russian young comply however the russian government was put in a very difficult situation because suddenly now that was a government. that was extremely right wing controlled entirely by the americans and they were concerned about civil the poem about their own supply of oil on the cusp. of the kosovo. so i'm not so that there was a population in something that was still cool in the crimea because people remember all those leaders who did not want this new government to the north of these not the friends of the people of the current man. and so actually the people of the crime man well code for 98 percent of them said we don't want to be any off this

new illegal government of the craig we wish to join. the russian federation we want to be russia please 98 percent not excuse me not the shock was gone will be an exception in the crimea and such since it's cool that school be an exception but russia now the legal niceties so what were the. contracts between khrushchev the ukraine back in the years when problem. and that's constitutional or something but i do know that. the people who live there say no we want nothing to do least no city no people in the eastern ocean it wasn't quite so easy for them i'm not sure why this is no where but up when i'm standing in these you cannot you cannot talk about

a 70 year old. israeli occupation of palestine and the relatively recent annexation or change of power in crimea in the same breath they are in is highly different things one is that there are it's not as if the palestinians in 1948 suddenly said could you send a load to jewish people from from north eastern europe please. throw us out of our homes and 700000 of us and sent us that we have to get off the land because they are going to make a jewish state and they don't want those that didn't happen there was no home with 98 percent pumice didn't suddenly say oh you know come on come in terms for us and the russians are throwing out the people who live in the ground near there supporting i'm sorry to interrupt because i just want to ask you about a few other issues and we're going to run out of time so i wanted to go back to do

you k. a bit you know the labor party is under accusations of being added to semantic allegation that jeremy corbyn is the man who took the labor party in that direction do you say that these are a fairly gazin is there a labor party anti semite the conspiracy or. overplan spread free and submitted. i mean story about people like me. and about like the poets in england. brought it probably censored and came out of the ministry of its strategic. intent of reading this was completely respected and very well. and succeeded totally in destroying jeremy cole clinton's chances of becoming the next prime

minister of the u.k. chances that were very good seemingly a year before 2 years before what have they absolutely use the anti semitic smear. campaign to destroy jeremy coatings chances of winning the election and they did it very very successfully and i succeeded in destroying jeremy cool women in my view made terrible mistakes along the way the biggest mistake that he and the labor party made was to the labor party conference in 2090 where they fail to totally dismiss the new i h r a n international public roles remember alliance definition of bentley summonses of the rewriting. and cio that nobody even heard of and that is completely irrelevant

in sense of history or politics or anything of. definition offensive semitism so includes any criticism of the congress it is the government of spades. wow and the labor poets he did knock. say rubbish throw it out and go dosed and jeremy colvin did not resign and should have done he's should he should on those grounds of resign as leader of the potency anybody with a hawk also should have resigned at that point because it is such a nonce how come how come criticizing israeli israeli policy of occupation and to say things which is what they're operating how come and he said mincing. that would be like calling criticism of

the south african adminstration before the end of the post say stuff africa and christian all and christian you know we could like courting anti christian oh you know you just hate white people don't hate the system that europe moves in. against the cover of us getting on your religion just as i have nothing against jewish people. you know i'm an atheist so other concepts cripes who in the midst you know in the mystification if you want to call it would probably. to any of the after how many religions or any religion and it just doesn't make any sense to me but i wouldn't dream of sending people that they call believe whatever they want to believe he's going to meet them well it's a plot i look people do in texas by the way so so the labor labor pool

and also the labor party under the new leadership of dawn backed down from the response to the miss. case in the high court just a few weeks ago. and the documentary that john well made about it a year earlier and just where it's now saying he made he made soup jeremy cool. these are rabid zionists and there are involved in a smokescreen a human being to cover up their violent more crimes that have been perpetrate seats every single day against the people of palestine by . administration initiative in the state of israel has been going on for 7 millions since none since or since since nonsupport here expansion so anybody of good conscience and good heart houses continue in the line

and do you think labor can recover from this if labor get its labor yes maybe it you know actually this fight she's taking place it's really a fight between murdoch and the truth is i know it's not just rip but the meat you are generally control now by very very very rich very very powerful people and it's no coincidence that jeff bezos which made hundreds $160000000000.00 now odom's the washington post on his young one man an influential printing all the papers or by. the times of london it's a mother you score runs probably hermione's the times and they are coming from a member anymore you know but civic this is a fight between. it's it's well it's your lunch in 94

it's a fight between we the people who live winston smith sound. and the ministry of truth who are telling you mine's 24 ounce of 37 they simply and who are pulling the wool over all of the others but with the people who continue to do so until we stand up and say we need education and we need this system and we need because we are so we can buy you. turn your neo liberal economic policies that it's hard to see them through. which is why the lot leg movement nazis. actually die streets of american citizens is something to a certain someone planked them from the. struggle we're going to have to wrap up very soon bafta questions to ask you which changing gears here somehow back in 97

to now when you wrote mother and you osted that song mother should i trust the government have you found the answer to that. yes of course not unless of course i'm a wager no you know or danish or somewhere where there is a government is trying is subscribes to some of the same beliefs i do and believes that the government. of any of any country of any group or of any nation of any ship or that you serve the needs of the people all the people not just a wealthy people but all of and if you were to write a song about the current state of the world what would you like it to say. man or a writes about ace. to strangers policy industry by chaunce
