Harold Pinter's Incredible Nobel Speech

This was incredible riveting tv and seemed like a drama. A sick old man in a wheelchair allowed some space to state eloquently and angrily the unvarnished truth of our age. I saw it on E4 and it reminded me forcefully of the fact that nowadays you never hear anyone allowed to lay out a coherent analysis of anything important on tv. TV is toxic but this wasnt. He lifted his fist and shook it at the camera in this excerpt. In other parts of the speech his distaste and hatred for blair seemed to channel all the distaste and hate for him that festers outside the bounds of polite TV in the UK. Excerpt: |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3when I get my Nobel I'll be hard put to beat that. But Pinter might not have been the best so far. The Nobel for literature has seen a few "statements" made in the past.
W.B. Yeats only gave a one sentance reply to the official notification - "How much is it worth?" & Samuel Beckett noting that he had to share the prize with Borges is rumoured in Parisien literarary circles to have quipped "I know how much its worth, I'm not going" which to this day explains his absence at the award speech.
This would'nt be the same Harold Pinter who is a member of the 'Free Slobodan Milosevic Campaign'? His excellent critique of Bush would be far more credible if he was'nt a supporter of the author of Europe's worst genocide since world war two. Either you are against mass murder, dictatorship and occupation regardless whether its perpetrators are Bush, Blair, Sharon and their allies or by so-called enemies of the west such as Putin, Mugabe or Slobo or your words are meaningless.

bit of clarification there from pinter on his milosevic stance.
