My story is yet another story of cancer culture.

Why are they trying to cancel Roger Waters?

Why aren't a real journalists going hang on a minute this is bullst maybe I'll call up and see what he has to say.

Why aren't you Piers Morgan? Hey!

Fcking Andrew what's his name Andrew Marr hey!

Oooh don't get me started.

Ignore all the newspapers because that's all fake news, they are not printing the story in any way that is even-handed.

Some fcking Labour MP in Manchester Christian Wakeford This is a guy who was a Tory and he's now switched sides He's now in "Sir" Keir Starmers Labour party.

I hope I meet you face to face in Manchester when I do my gig there because you Christian, I've forgotten your name already, and I will permanently soon because you're scum.

You are trying to get me banned from performing in Manchester.

Me the bloke that wrote Dark Side of the Moon and Wish you Were Here and Animals and The Wall and The Final Cut.

And I'm really proud of it and it's a huge body of work.

And he wants to cancel my rock and roll show for my brothers and sisters in Manchester, it's insane.

If we shout the lie loud enough "Roger Walters is anti-semite" We'll be all right we'll get people to believe it we can vilify him we can probably destroy him and we will get him in the end well...

No you won't because it is a lie.

You can gather as many fcking morons together as you want to repeat your lie but it remains a vicious lie.

The Narrative that I'm an anti-semite and that I'm promoting fascism by wearing a leather coat and um heavy symbols which are crossed hammers by the way not swastikas or anything that is literally Nazi Third Reich German 40 years I've been to 40 years every single year almost between 1980 and now I've been doing bits of that show why now why suddenly now would people be picking up and going he's wearing a replica of a Nazi uniform on stage he's obviously glorifying the Third Reich and Nazism he's doing that as part of his General attitude which is that he hates Jewish people all over all the press in the western world everything Roger orders anti-sema glorifying naziers and wearing a thing okay well if we could deconstruct that little bit in my piece of the wall at the end of the fascist in the film it's Bob geldorf when he's the freshest leader he's singing all this stuff which I wrote about who they are the forces of evil and then in the song Waiting for the worms they're waiting to take over the world waiting to cut out the dead wood s pink Bob Geldof internally realizes that he's made a terrible mistake by wanting to become a powerful demagogue and rule the world that's why he tries himself in the trial he tries himself for having become a Nazi so how you can transmogrify this work of theater Into Me glorifying the Third Reich of Nazism Beggar's belief don't get me wrong I may be shouting and I may seem powerful or whatever but I'm still really upset I can't believe that they're trying to do this to me I mean clearly clearly where you can hear in my voice clearly I'm upset beyond all measure to be called these names they're deeply deeply deeply insulting not just to me but to my family and particularly to my mother and father my father died at anzio on the 18th of February 1944 when I was five months old fighting the Nazis and when the war broke out and he was called up he went before the conscription board and declared that he was a Christian and that he'd love to help but he couldn't join the Army because Jesus had told him he couldn't kill anyone and so he became an ambulance driver and he drove an ambulance all through the Blitz and then it was there in London during the blitz that he became politicized and eventually joined the Communist Party by 1941-42 he had changed his mind and he decided that the need to fight the Nazis trumped his pacifism so he did his basic training and then he went off to officer training and he was commissioned in the Royal fusiliers in 1943 went off to North Africa and a couple of weeks later bushed on a boat landed in anzio to make the new bridge hit and in the big Push by the Nazis he was killed a couple of weeks later so they're attacking my dad when they attacked me not just from a personal perspective but what an outrage that anybody even for a second could be speaking about canceling me it absolutely denies everything that we ought to be proud of about living in a democracy or being English sense of fair play Matt's not who won or lost it's how you played again mind you it was an American who wrote that not some English bloke that's written up at Lord's cricket ground but the idea even if you disagree with my politics that I should not be allowed to speak the MP in Manchester he doesn't know me from Adam he has no idea who I am he doesn't think about it he doesn't think hang on a minute isn't he that bloke who wrote all those songs when he was in Pink Floyd what what evidence is there to support this oh it I don't care I'll just go and say it the fact that people are complaining about me mentioning Anne Frank and Shireen Abu akley in the same show actually in the same song It's a song called Powers the bee and I put up the names of victims of violence from all over the world like George Floyd writing player peach in England everywhere I went in North America I put up one name from that town every town you go to in America there's somebody who's been murdered by the state or the local police so when I get to Germany it's not hard for me to pick some German names she's there because I'm in Germany so that the local people oh good he does notice that it's not just the Americans who are murdering their own people we were murdering Sophie's skull she was a 19 20 year old girl in Munich in 1943 three who with her brother hansco and a friend Christopher Probst they started a movement called The White Rose movement and they distributed leaflets in the university in Munich decrying the persecution of the Jewish Community there and for which crime they were executed they were guillotined I first went to her grave with my Mrs Camila five years ago and we went back this time because there's no way that either of us could ever visit Munich without going to lay white roses on the graves of Sophie and Hans School and Christopher Probst obviously this doesn't register with the pro-israeli German movement to have me banned from Germany but it nevertheless is the reality of my life and on stage two nights ago in Frankfurt I was trying to explain this to the audience that were there because I didn't wear the leather coat there as as an act of understanding really to the people whose feelings it might hurt I.E the relatives of those men Jewish men who were rounded up by the Nazis I sometimes feel like saying hey guys what did what am I what am I doing what have I done you rounded them up and murdered them not me Sophie's goal died for those men she's the heroine she didn't stand by silent and indifferent do you know who is standing by silent and indifferent if I was standing by now silent and indifferent to the oppression of the people of Palestine like you are and your government is particularly the German government not all the people because friends of mine German friends of mine are out in the streets protesting against the colony of the current government of Israel now just like I am but your government is standing by silent and indifferent while there's a slow creeping genocide being perpetrated upon the people of Palestine this is why I'm being vilified in Germany it's because I'm suggesting that you the German people have to persuade your government to change all of that and I know why it is you are blinded by the fact that you are German and your guilt about the Holocaust is so great that you've accepted the Mantra that Israel can do no wrong and anybody that says anything against Israeli policy has to be silenced and will be by the German government and the German people because we support the Israeli government whatever they do and we couldn't care less about the Palestinian people all right well that's a position but it's a very warped and strange position they've been trying to get me canceled there for months and months and months and I fought back through the German courts and I'm happy to say that the local Court in Frankfurt that the Joe said on the basis of the evidence before me what this man wants to do in this concert hall is clearly not against any law he should be allowed artistic freedom to express his thoughts and feelings in this piece which is clearly an adaptation of a longer theatrical piece which is called the wall which he has been performing one way or another and made films are for 40 years and suddenly now you're all going oh it's anti-semitic it's this it's that the other why now well I know the answer and if anybody would listen to me and you are listening to me I can tell you the answer the Israeli government sees me as an existential threat to their settler Colonius racist apartheid regime that is why now and they've done everything that they can think of to discredit me and try and destroy my career and if possible destroy me and my family so that is why it's not rocket science it's not a mystery that it's taken the Roger Waters haters to catch up with this piece of work that I wrote and produced and directed 45 years ago what about the Star of David on the pig that you use at every show which is one of the lies that they've been putting out in all the newspapers he in his current current show well hang on a minute back in 2013 when I was in the middle of touring the theatrical piece the wall all over the world Belgium one night and there is a pig and it has a number of symbols on it including the crucifix and the star and crescent the Star of David is only part of a group of symbols that represent dogma and I started getting complaints coming in you're being anti-semitic you're blah blah blah well no I'm not oh but you're really upsetting Jewish people so I thought about it and I thought you know there might be something in there I can imagine some little old ladies somewhere in Belgium who might see this and think and be I can feel them going because it really really upsets them to see there the symbol of their religion on on this balloon so I scrubbed it out immediately we've done five gigs that was in 2000 early 2013. and then out they're saying that I've done it every single show I've ever done and blah blah blah and nobody ever tells the story that said he got complaints about it so he scrubbed it out and went I understand I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings am I going to keep attacking the state of Israel and his policies in the West Bank and in Gaza yes I am and I will until the day I die or they modify their position to give human rights to the indigenous people of all the lands between the Jordan River and the Sea it's really simple this whole story for me didn't start till 2006 when I went to Palestine I saw apartheid in action even if it was just the roads wow this is weird you know as well it's beautiful yeah it's for Jews only don't be daft yeah it is you can't go on this road if you're not a Jew you're kidding no I'm not hell imagine you live in England and you can't go up the M1 unless you're a Christian it's so alien to everything that we claim to believe it the gods are all the crossings and places you have to go to who are all about 10 years old and even me there I am with my British passport because we were in un Vehicles we were treated like they didn't quite spit on us but then I thought Mom if they treat me like this imagine how they treat the Palestinians and I saw them it's actually quite depressing to witness you know when you stand in front of an Oedipus like this and whether it's here or or you know outside a Township in South Africa or in the Warsaw Ghetto during the second world war or in Berlin in the 60s and 70s is something you know instinctively that this is wrong and it's unconscionable the way they treat and they go they just openly kill them they shoot them all the time dead and they bum them dead and so I've been doing everything that I possibly can to expose that bit and I will continue to do so and I will hope eventually to Open the Eyes of ordinary people in England and in North America those being the two places where I live to the evils of the apartheid state of Israel until such time as they moderate their ways and start abiding by this Bible this one Universal Declaration of Human Rights when I see the army of thugs with their blue and white flags storming through the old city of Jerusalem on Flag Day beating up any Palestinian who dares to be in their own Street shouting kill the Arabs kill the Arabs kill the Arabs as they March through the street with their Israeli flags and nobody's going oh you can't say that that's a hate crime and it really is a hate crime but there's nobody saying that the police are there wrecking them on so cancel culture is trying to get you to believe that in some weird way my defense of the people of Palestine is more violent than the Young Folks kicking Palestinians to death or the IDF soldiers shooting them through the heart with their sniper rifles like they did on the great March of return to their young Palestinian medic thousands upon thousands of them these are just words and there's these are my heartfelt passionate words a lot of my political ideals have hosted through this mainly following my mother she once said to me when I was struggling with something or other she said Roger through your throughout your life you're going to come up with all kinds of naughty problems things that you have to wrestle with this is my advice to you read read read and then read some more find out everything there is to know about whatever the question might be however long it takes when you've done that you've done all the heavy lifting the hard work is over uh what do I do then Mom I said that's easy you just do the right thing you know it's not hard but you do have to do the reading and you cannot believe what the BBC tells you because it's completely a mouthpiece of government and the ruling class you are not being told any of the truth so what I would suggest you should do is like my mother would suggest you do and read read and don't read The Daily Mail or the guardian the guardian what is our guardian of uh read what people who know about these things have to say go to Double Down News and watch Naomi winbourne addressee and I've watched Double Down News I'm on it now and it is not fake news it's real people telling you the real truth about things so it's really important if my mum was here she could tell you when you've done the reading okay when you've done the reading chaps you've done all the heavy lifting just do the right thing and if you do their world will crumble and we will have taken a step towards peace on Earth it's extremely important to support Double Down News on patreon we've spoken a lot today about the media and how they've been subjuaned by the ruling class so we need voices like Double Down News to keep us in the picture and to tell us some truth and to help us continue to move towards Peace On Earth as I said before Double Down News
