at an advanced age, could I express my sincere thanks to BBC Radio 2 for its broad support of "California Son", "Wedding Bell Blues" and "It's Over". Whatever the future brings, I will always remember the constant support of Radio 2 during these difficult weeks, especially from Jo Whiley.

I regret that the UK press has misinterpreted my identity and identity. In those days when most people are even afraid to whisper, the print media writes as if someone is coming to pick them up. This painful nervousness causes revenge and paranoia. Inventing the British Doomsday is the concern of the tabloids, and they may hate you for having lived.

I stand up and my position is that of hope. The walk back is over and life has resumed. With the voice extended to breaking point, I demand the prosperity of freedom of expression; the eradication of totalitarian control; I call for diversity of opinion; I demand the total abolition of the slaughterhouse; I ask for peace first and foremost; I call on civil society. I'm calling for an end up here unknowable brutality; "No" to Soviet Britain; prayers not to the gods but to the forces; the end of the hypocritical flippancy of the media; the people have the power; hatred and beheadings belong to the furnace of history; the music could still be your only friend; for each nuance and conviction … we will always be side by side – the value culture of each; more outrage in fashion; cows are friends for humans – do not kill them; beware of those who write in titles; Moral fiber means keeping … to your friends; abandon the lower arguments; God has given you your life to enjoy it – you will cry for your life in the years to come … death always answers; do not be a person; you have survived until then to make the rest peaceful and fun; your very survival proves that you have the right; ignore the cold eyes of fascism; your life is art.
