Martin Refuses To Meet British Prime Minister

COLDPLAY frontman CHRIS MARTIN has snubbed British Prime Minister TONY BLAIR's invitation to meet him at his London residence - because the YELLOW star feared it would damage his image.

A galaxy of stars, including rockers OASIS and SIR ELTON JOHN, have accepted invitations to Blair's Downing Street home.

And Martin respects the British premier, but does not want to be seen publicly socialising with the leader of the Labour party, for fear of offending his fans who may disagree with Blair's political goals and stance over the war in Iraq.

He says, "I'm not going to go. I really like Tony Blair. He's interested in the same things as I am - he plays the guitar and he always gives the impression of doing what he can to help.

"But I don't particularly want to be photographed with him at the moment."

	Yes, Chris Martin is a wuss -- for not calling Blair the criminal he is. He could be mired in illusion, or maybe he just "belongs" with the Blair/Bush group. Thank you, "les visible," for telling the truth! More people should stand up. I'm disgusted with all the pop stars who toady up to these neocon psychopaths. I miss John Lennon. BTW - les visible, I'm afraid you're right about even worse attacks coming up. How else will they continue to keep the masses frightened enough to fall into line with the next step in their fascist plans? Finally, for any and all, and especially those who love music, with the desire to find and face the truth, here's a link for you: http://www.awaywiththefairies.dk/ Be sure to listen to the song: "You Lied" Also, here is a great flash animation - with music: http://www.pentagonstrike.co.uk/ GoddessMom

	Does Blair think he needs support from the wuss constituency to maintain popularity? As a practical matter, stricter immigration standards and lowered deportation thresholds are desperately needed and therefore inherently unpopular with the arts & crouissants crowd. As far as Blair and Bush being handmaidens of the Devil, Les, you need a smaller bong.

	You all are correct--Chris Martin IS a wussy and a weasel, and extremely immature as well. His big head has made him lose touch with reality.
