Re: Jeremy Corbyn's Full Speech to Glastonbury 2017
I don't approve of any politician being centre stage at glasto, but Michael Eavis is a big fan and invited him. it's Michael's party I guess.It's one thing for musicians to be political (although they are often criticised for it) but another for real politicians to have a rally at a festival. The message of peace, protecting the environment and creativity is good though. If he inspires the young to be more active in society and politics (and to read poetry) then that's all good too.

Re: Jeremy Corbyn's Full Speech to Glastonbury 2017
I couldn't believe it when l turned on the news and there was Jeremy Corbyn doing a political speech at Glastonbury Music Festival! He could've at least finished his speech by doing a bit of rock!These days, it seems the norm to spout off politics at the Oscars and other functions where celebrities gather!!

For some reason it reminded me of another rally, one that took part in nuremberg in 1938 where a party leader (forget the name
) was cheered by brainwashed adoring crowds.
