Radiohead frontman slams coalition on City hypocrisy

RADIOHEAD frontman Thom Yorke condemned the coalition yesterday for conniving with corporate tax dodgers while stripping resources from the poor.

The acclaimed musician called out ministers as he launched the soundtrack for documentary UK Gold, which exposes City tax avoidance.

Mr Yorke recorded 12 new protest songs for the soundtrack in collaboration with other left-wing songwriters, such as Massive Attack’s vocalist 3D and Elbow’s Guy Garvey.
