[KUEFC09U2]

Edge is going to be pissed as a fart tonight, from his blog on the guardian website

"11.43pm: I had a great kip, now I'm over at a friends house listening to Dela soul drinking some local pear cider. It's very good but deceptive. Edge"

Sorry got the times wrong, i mean he is going to be very hungover

Did anyone see the BBC interview this morning with Vic? You could see Jem and Domo clinging to the rail with great determination

uh-oh...

U2 face protest at Glastonbury

by 10pm no-one will give a shit

 

[TheEdge_92]

They still pay some taxes in Ireland, all these protesters need to get the real insight and not the "we hate Bono, Bono is a cunt" insight.

heading to Pyramid stage now, dressed as Santa and dragging a small wooden reindeer on a leash, so gimme a shout if ya spot me lol

 

[paulrg]

I doubt that any of those pathetic wanker tax 'protestors' have ever paid a penny of tax in their lives. I wish Joe could blow them away with a blast from the subwoofers!

 

[Popmartijn]

Haha, this is probably going to be true. They'll try very hard for about 5-10 minutes and realise it's pointless and revert to dancing in the mud, perhaps.

related to u2, or just in general?

very directly related!

 

[Popmartijn]

They say related to U2.

In other news, here's a bit on the live blog of The Guardian regarding tonight's planned protest.

To add to the mix, the media - tired of mud stories - has been getting excited at the prospect of a U2's headline set being disrupted tonight by tax avoidance protesters, Art Uncut. Sky News reckons Michael Eavis isn't supporting the stunt, though I suspect he's not averse to a bit of action.

I've had a sneak preview of what the activists, who are camped up near the Stone Circle, are planning. I'm sworn to secrecy, but suffice to say I don't think Bono needs to worry that much. Expect hot air (literal and metaphorical) and perhaps a bit of word play too, but blink and you might miss it.

Let's hope it really is a blink-and-you-might-miss-it moment.

 

[coolian2]

veeeery interesting.
