Leeds Today have another story on Thom Yorke attending the Fylingdales demo last Satuday:
Radiohead lead singer Thom Yorke was at the head of the marchers who had found a moorland footpath on an Ordnance Survey map that led to the perimeter fence of RAF Fylingdales, the early warning station.
Mr Yorke said: “Since 9/11, the US and Britain can now hide this system under the concept of defence against rogue states. The legacy for our children if this Star Wars system is allowed to happen is absolutely terrifying.
Retaliation
“I don’t know how Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon, who has authorised this work, can sleep at night. Apparently, there may be some jobs in it, so that’s all right then.”
Dave Knight, of the Global Network Against Weapons, praised Mr Yorke for making a stand. “So many celebs don’t put their head over the parapet because they are worried it will affect their careers. So congratulations, Thom.” [thanks Mandy]
