Not to put too fine a point on it no rock band ever knew more about politics than ‘give peace a chance’. It’s a generational thing. We’ve all been there.

Peace has always had a chance, and nearly always wins, despite there being wars somwhere in the world at ALL times since time immemorial.

Tony Blair was RIGHT about Iraq – even though he used to be in a band once! We all need to grow up some time. And the people agreed with him – two thirds of the 30 million – until their feet got cold when the press told them it was getting chilly!

By the way – 2 million protestors – or ONE million according to the Police, is roughly one thirtieth of the voting population. Even if it were ten million that would have only been a third! Way to go!

The rest of us were grown-ups.

Good luck to whichever guy wins. It’s tough at the top.
