Thom Yorke

Thom Yorke of Radiohead lent his voice to the cause of trade justice during the Global Week of Action all night vigil in London. He played a surprise, short accoustic set, including this as yet unreleased track 'House of Cards'.

Radiohead have supported the Trade Justice cause for many years. They led the biggest ever Mass Lobby of the British Parliament in June 2002. The following year they backed Scale up for Trade Justice, a national action to lobby all the UK’s 659 MPs in their local constituencies. Our movement wanted, as guitarist Ed O’Brien put it, “to make sure every MP got a clear message that British voters want the rules on international trade rewritten to make world trade work for the whole world”. 

This year frontman Thom Yorke come along to Wake Up to Trade Justice

"I've been to many demos but Wake Up to Trade Justice was by far the coolest." 
Thom Yorke, Radiohead

Ed O'Brien"I feel very strongly about how trade is done throughout the world, how unfair it is, and how it places burdens that can never be removed on developing countries. "

Thom Yorke “The Trade Justice Movement addresses the fundamental relationships the West has with the rest of the world, which is its trade.  One thing that is going to stop a country being on its knees is actually being able to trade effectively with other countries and that is not being allowed to happen because it’s inconvenient for western countries.”  
Thom Yorke

“It comes down to that cliché ‘People Power’, you can force change, but you have to get out, get seen.”
Ed O’Brien
