Blasts Tony Blair
Chris Lowe from The Pet Shop Boys chatted to Skrufff this week and in a
break from tradition, opened up about his political beliefs, revealing hes
thoroughly fed up with mainstream politics in Britain.
On important issues such as genetically modified food, it doesnt
seem that theres any party you can vote for, Chris complained.
The Government do a survey which reveals that 90% of the public dont
want it, but then they go ahead with their plans anyway. And then theres
the War on Iraq, he added.
The hugely successful disco-electro producer and signed-up Greenpeace supporter
also admitted hed gone on last years million strong anti Iraq
war demonstration in London though revealed he usually censors himself in
interviews.
I dont like it when pop stars get involved in politics because
then you think God, I hate them, they think theyre so this and
that, he said.
But I also I think its terrible not to have any faith in your
leaders, and I havent got any in ours. When you cant trust your
Prime Minister what kind of country are you living in?
The Pet Shop Boys new single Flamboyant is out on March 29 on Parlophone/
