Boomer musical legend Roger Waters, 75, has decided to organise a "protest concert" outside his own front gates after realising that he had built a massive wall with "security accoutrements" around his own giant house and vast, enormous garden.
"Yes. it's bloody silly, isn't it," Waters admitted to Trad News down a crackly phone line from whichever five-star hotel bedroom he was trashing at the time. "I've made a bit of a name for myself protesting against walls, but then I go and build one around my own bloody house, LOL."
In the past Waters has drawn criticism for comments made on stage about Israel's "security barrier," which has seen a sharp fall in terrorist attacks on Israeli citizens. He has even been accused of anti-Semitism.
He is also a well known critic of Trump's proposed plan to build a border wall on America's Southern border to reduce drug trafficking and illegal immigration, and to finally give the American people a tenuous sense of national identity.

"I hate to be a total hypocrite," Waters continued, "so after criticising the wall those dirty K*** bastards built in occupied Palestine and the one that m*****-f****** f***** Trump is trying to build in the Mexican desert, I had no alternative but to protest against the giant, medieval, fortress-like structure that keeps me, my drugs, and my groupies safe from less musically talented people."
The real tragedy here is that Waters, despite his enormous talents, has become a prisoner of one iconic album that he wrote back in 1979, which actually had nothing to do with terrorist defences or cutting down on illegal immigration, but was instead an overwrought cry against the rather insubstantial totalitarian tendencies of 1970s Britain.
With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the songs from the Wall album, like "Another Brick in the Wall (parts 1,2, and 3)" and "Outside the Wall" were given a new lease of life as Waters sought to rebuild his career after getting chucked out of Pink Floyd for being an insufferable prick.
Since then the songs have become a favourite of the globalist establishment and its irrational phobia of sensible national boundaries, with Waters keen to play along in a desperate boomer attempt to stay relevant.
"There will first need to be an awakening against these far-right policies. The sewers are engorged by greedy and powerful men as I speak to you,” Waters recently gibbered in another interview. “Music is a legitimate place to express protest, musicians have an absolute right, a duty, to open their mouths to speak out."
Yeh, sure, nothing whatsoever to do with trying to get free publicity to sell albums and concert tickets...
Waters relentlessly attacks Trump in his overlong concerts, depicting him as a dildo-loving Nazi with a micro-penis. This is driven by rage at Trump taking "The Wall" brand away from him. Before the 2016 Presidential Election campaign, people associated "The Wall" solely with Waters, but now it is connected with Trump and viewed much more positively.

Another favourite target is Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who was recently elected even though Waters told fans at his Brazilian concerts to vote for some commie instead.
Strangely Waters is much more reticent about politics in his own native Britain. If pressed, he will tell interviewers that he is against Brexit, but doesn't routinely make "anti-Gammon" comments from the stage, as he is wary about being lumped in with his own generation who voted overwhelmingly for Brexit.
As music critic Edwin Oslan explains, the Wall is more about Waters own deranged mental state than anything political:
"The Wall is Roger Waters' overwrought self-pitying/ aggrandizing/ indulgent tribute to how he'd become an asshole. What does that have to do with politics or immigration?"
