It was a great privilege to be at the Unite For Freedom rally on May 29th 2021 in London. This was probably one of the biggest gatherings of people since 1945 when similar crowds invaded the capital to celebrate the end of WW2. Naturally none of this was reported in the media but you can see it on Oracle Films, when over one million people expressed their disgust at the current situation by marching through London, an awesome spectacle sometimes forty people wide and over four miles long ! In spite of their huge numbers and massive strength the people marched in a dignified and well behaved manner, causing no trouble, but at the same time issuing a powerful message of anger to our so called rulers !

 

A video of the event:

It has been a great disappointment to witness the deafening silence from the music business, once renowned for their rebelliousness. Our whole industry lies in ruins, yet only a few lone voices such as Van Morrison, Ian Brown and Eric Clapton have put their heads above the parapet. Come on Rock ‘n’ Rollers, let your voices be heard !

 

On a lighter note, I was told of a recent interview with Roger Glover regarding the “Hall Of Shame” debacle. Although I consider the whole subject unworthy of further comment, I would like to thank Roger for speaking up on my behalf, thanks mate, you’re a true gentleman !

 

Once again I send my best wishes to all Purple people, thanks for your support.
