Glastonbury Festival played host to the meeting of minds
Pussy Riot and Charlotte Church have been in conversation this afternoon at Glastonbury’s Park Stage.
Pussy Riot-ers Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina rocked up on a military vehicle and taped up a man in military clothing who proclaimed the festival the ‘People’s Republic of Glastonbury’ with a ‘Fuck you!’ Start as you mean to go on, we suppose.
The Russian activists then talked the festival audience through the ’10 Rules of Pussy Riot’, including “Develop a culture of rebellion”, “Every change begins with a riot” and “Start your new day with a cup of coffee and a good riot”

They then went on to add:
“There is a one valid question for Pussy Riot. “What the hell you are doing, ladies? Why don’t you just sit on your couch and drink some beer?” What makes us act out? I’m really angry due to the fact that the main political institutions of our country are law enforcement, the army, police, intelligence agencies and prisons – and one insane quasi-superhero half-naked riding on a horse. The man who is not afraid of anyone, except gays. The man who is so good in friendship [that] he just presented half of my country to his closest friends, oligarchs.”

It’s no wonder political activist Charlotte Church was interested in joining the band – “Can I join Pussy Riot?” she asked, before interviewing the duo. Here’s hoping they join forces and drop one of the most fire feminist punk mixtape of all-time.
