Sail 8

06/07/05
. (hecklerspray) Bob Geldof has unveiled the latest Live 8 ruse to make the leaders of the world stop ignoring him. And it goes by the name of Sail 8.

The plan to have Annie Lennox warble a bunch of nonsense at thousands of people in Hyde Park in a Live 8 concert has critically backfired, even though it'll probably draw lots of positive long-term attention. So now Geldof is starting to concentrate more on the march in Gleneagles four days after the concert.

He's already asked pupils and teachers to skive off school for the day, and now comes Sail 8 - a plan for south-coast boat owners to sail across the channel and pick up European protesters. [see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
