Pet Shop Boy Blasts Tony Blair

Chris Lowe from The Pet Shop Boys chatted to Skrufff this week and in a break from tradition, opened up about his political beliefs, revealing he's thoroughly fed up with mainstream politics in Britain.

"On important issues such as genetically modified food, it doesn't seem that there's any party you can vote for," Chris complained.

"The Government do a survey which reveals that 90% of the public don't want it, but then they go ahead with their plans anyway. And then there's the War on Iraq," he added.

The hugely successful disco-electro producer and signed-up Greenpeace supporter also admitted he'd gone on last year's million strong anti Iraq war demonstration in London though revealed he usually censors himself in interviews.

"I don't like it when pop stars get involved in politics because then you think 'God, I hate them, they think they're so this and that'," he said.

"But I also I think it's terrible not to have any faith in your leaders, and I haven't got any in ours. When you can't trust your Prime Minister what kind of country are you living in-"

The Pet Shop Boys' new single Flamboyant is out on March 29 on Parlophone/ EMI.
