Artists letter to Guardian

A bunch of artists including Gentleman, D Fryer, Tracy Emin and Vivianne Westwood managed to get a letter together for the 8th of september to protest about Tony Blairs book promotion at Tate Modern. I agree, he is a war criminal and this should not have taken place. However, the letter was late, a display of their commitment, there was a feeling of ownership of Britains flagship of established Art. Who, seriously looks there for what is happening now? a defunct protest at a defunct collection by a defunct body of artists. Emins threat to leave the country if she got taxed too much sadly did not come to pass. A country that nurtured her, payed for her education, gave her a wonderful life. Then, once she has her money she wants to run. The issue of Iraq is a terrible blot on our history but wouldnt moral artists be better looking to the future? we can not repair the past. The current government is about to kick away the whole system that got you out of poverty and in to a position where your opinions are valued. We are about to see the biggest attack on the poor and weak ever seen. Your generation were fortunate to benefit from the Blair Brown buy now, think later concept. You are in there with Blair. If you can not see the connection you really shouldnt be mouthing off. Have you thought for one second how you appear to the provincial observers of your London game? You appear as detached as Blair did when he took our country to war. The Welfare 'reforms', prison 'reforms' and drug treatment 'reforms' will see riots. And you will be the targets. The biggest issue now in this country is the disparity of wealth left by Blair, Brown and Thatcher. Don't feel safe, England didnt have a revolution like France but in the hands of Cameron and the pathetic Clegg one is in the planning. Guillotine, designed by a man from Bradford. Heads will roll.
