Possibly, once you stop the whataboutery.

@bluestevon you have also said many times that you support Putin because you feel that he has brought positive change to Russia. The reality is all that he has brought is a system that allows only him and his cronies to win, and for them to consume the benefits of arguably the most resource rich area of the planet to the detriment of the indigenous peoples of these conqured areas. Also a situation in which this mafia is attempting to extend its grip across the globe. Please don't go pointing off here and there if you do choose to respond
 
Who the hell is Roger Waters to be trying to dictate the policy of any nation?!

He's always been politically active in terms of stating opinions mate, pink Floyd - a great proportion of their work is concept - often with a certain political point/theme running through it.

Question is should any artist be able to voice their opinion or not in public.

No problem with artists voicing their opinion. That's part of being an artist. If you want to be writing letters to heads of state and having real influence, maybe accept some of the responsibility that comes with it and run for election.

It probably doesn't help that I can't sodding stand Pink Floyd.

Yeah although I think Waters raises some interesting points, some not so much, I just have an intrinsic dislike for artists getting involved in politics on a surface vacuous level and stating opinions publicly especially in the current world where they have an undue influence vis a vis their actual knowledge of a subject.

When likely more people listen my a multitude to a Waters or Bono than to a Cohen or Mearscheimer on a subject and form their opinion largely based at times on that, then it's disturbing.

Never liked Floyd myself, loved two albums (dark side and momentary lapse) but massively up their own arse as a band
