This government’s cuts are worse than Thatcher’s, says Rhys
SUPER FURRY ANIMALS frontman Gruff Rhys slammed the “extreme” Tory cuts on Monday night while defending his fellow Welsh singing socialist Charlotte Church from right-wing attacks.
The band headlined the Music Against Austerity concert staged in Manchester on Monday night to coincide with the Conservative conference.
Mr Rhys told the audience: “We wanted to do this show to register how pissed off we are with these austerity measures that are being imposed.”
