As much as he’s a monumental gobste, I wouldn’t call him talentless. The Wall anybody?
Agreed. He’s wrong about this, I think, and Taiwan. I feel as if his legitimate gripes about the horrible things that “we” (the West) have done are making him partisan on this in a way that appears contrary to the principles he evidently holds. te, I wouldn’t call him talentless.

I'd be surprised if this was 100% on the money“Mr Waters performed in Berlin this week and used the name of Anne Frank to stoke division, performed whilst dressed as an SS soldier and used the Star of David on a giant pig to insinuate that Jewish people run the world.
