LONDON, UK (Top40 Charts/NME/Massive Attack Website/Amnesty International) - Someone has to talk about this! Whole the British nation watches a virtual TV game, which is killing the fame of British music worldwide. Internet users are informing by online British newspapers 'this is the cover which is predicted as Christmas No1'!
'Wherever starts the stupidity, everything finishes with a murder' George Orwell wrote on his famous '1984' book...

Massive Attack tries to reestablish the fame of British Music Industry and stop killing the biggest British Legend's fame, John Lennon. Not only Lennon or Beatles Fans, but also people worldwide are shocked with this decision: a Pop Idol, a virtual "artist", is going to cover the version of Lennon's humanitarian song "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)".
Amnesty International Community (People and Forums on the web) goes further, even for a 'boycottage' for the British Music Labels products!

Massive Attack is the first British group/artist who talks about this: they have condemned the decision to release a Pop Idol version of John Lennon's Happy Xmas (War is Over) as "utterly repugnant".

Massive Attack targets their efforts on music but they need the help of the British parents: British parents must protect their kids from this stupidity and have to stop this 'buy' or 'consuming' procedure.

The band has joined up with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) in opposing the single which is favourite to be the Christmas No 1. CND is calling for all profits from the sale of the CD to go to humanitarian aid organizations working in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Massive Attack's 3-D told NME.com: "This is a new low - it is utterly repugnant as a choice of song by anyone right now.
US planes bombed and killed children in Afghanistan this week, US troop deaths since May have topped 200 and there have been thousands of Iraqi civilian casualties since Bush declared the war to be over."

Kate Hudson, CND Chair, said: "This move is both insensitive and offensive to those that have lost friends and family in the war."

However CND said that they have not heard the single and has no criticism of the singers or their ability. But we believe, there isn't any necessary to listen something which murders one of the Britain's myth globally. Massive Attack spoke and remind us the limits to any behavior which is concerning the history, civilization, humanism (etc) - can British people tolerate this degenerating phenomenon?...
