Lovely. This is the latest installment in the never-ending fight between Roger Waters and David Gilmour, in which the latter’s wife takes potshots at the former, and which David concurs with, apparently forgetting he also made a point of dodging his taxes in 1978/79 when the whole band, including him and not just Roger, went into tax exile while making The Wall. I mean, fuck Roger for being a Putin apologist (I don’t know about the other charges Polly levels at him, though I presume the “antisemitic” thing is something to do with him supporting Palestinians), but Dave’s not always been a model of moral superiority himself.
And I got snapped at on Facebook for making this point, someone noted the vast quantities of money Gilmour has apparently donated to charity, which is great, I’m all for that, I wasn’t aware of his charitable works. I’m just saying that accusing someone else of tax-dodging when you did it yourself with them entails at least a bit of hypocrisy. Oh well. No point hoping for better from these two alleged adults by this point…
