Mark Sutherland “I know you didn’t come here to listen to this,” sighed Roger Waters as he surveyed the O2 crowd. With most aging rockers on a “first-ever farewell tour”, that statement would likely mean they were about to play some new material.

At Roger Waters’ show, sadly, it meant he was about to sing the same old song. Sure enough, an extended rant against “the Israeli lobby” and British MP Christian Wakeford followed.  “They are trying to cancel me,” he claimed, to at first hesitant, but then louder applause. “And it hurts.

We’ve done 80 shows and we’ve done nothing but share our love for people. That’s why I’m so pissed off with this Israeli lobby bullshit.” He also accused his critics of, “Making up stuff because you’ve been told to by your masters from the Foreign Office in Tel Aviv.” Wakeford recently raised concerns in the House of Commons about the show.

The MP undoubtedly got some of his facts wrong (for example, the inflatable pig on these dates is not emblazoned with a Star of David, although such a prop did feature on a previous tour), but whether that justifies calling him “a fucking moron,” let alone a “cripple” – a term that drew a sharp intake of breath from some in even this largely indulgent crowd – is rather more open to debate.
