Yesterday, in a separate Dead Air Space post, Yorke criticised BP for the devastating oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico.

“Shouldn't BP be held criminally responsible for the oil slick?” he wrote. “shouldn't the heads of BP be held to account? this is not just a accident. this is a terrible crime. record profits? Nice.”

In February Yorke played a one-off show at the Cambridge Corn Exchange on behalf of friend and environmental campaigner Tony Juniper, who is attempting to become one of the first Green Members of Parliament.
