    Pink Floyd's Roger Waters performs makeshift concert to protest Julian Assange's imprisonment

    Pink Floyd star Roger Waters has called for the release of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange during a performance outside the Home Office.

    The singer and bass guitarist played his former band's hit track 'Wish You Were Here' at a rally in aid of Assange, who was jailed in May.

    Speaking to the crowd from a makeshift stage on Monday, Waters said: "Julian Assange, we are with you. Free Julian Assange."

    Before his performance, Waters claimed the Australian is "locked up" 23 hours a day.

    He said: "How do we put ourselves in the position of a Julian Assange in solitary confinement, or with that kid in Syria or Palestine or Rohingya, being blown to bits by these people in this building here?

    I am a hypocrite.

    I hate it when famous people spew their agenda but don't mind it when it is someone I like promoting someone I like.

    Roger gets pissed at all the right things. I can't go along with his solutions, but I sure do love hearing him spew/sing about the problems.

    His latest album "Is This The Life We Really Want" is awesome.

    I also remember a time when subjects like this would have gotten lots of response and dialogue by this forum.

    It won't take very long to get them home but it won't be overnight either but Iraq says they can't stay and they are coming home just like Trump said.

    Roger Waters isn't on Twitter spewing nonsense and sounding like a raging lunatic. Yeah he is wrong on more Socialism, but he's pretty thoughtful on the subjects. I think that's the difference. Russell Brand is another one. He talks more intelligently and intellectually than most MSM pundits and philosophers. But is completely ignored.
