Arrived safe and sound in relative luxury of pre erected tent, posh loos and hot showers. Music begins in Ernest today. Last night was a time to sample Latitudes eclectic mix.
A screening of Sky TV fantasy comedy Yonderland. The occupants of a distant land live in fear of an evil dictator and with detached leaders 'is there a crisis?' 'must be the elders are nowhere to be seen,' Their hope lies in a suburban English housewife known as' the chosen one' : she's reluctant but the people need firm leaders. Life of Brian meets muppets via Spitting Image.
By contrast Owen Jones and other panelists explored the politics of hope. The only hope for a new left wing movement is if the people work together around themes and group together. Community organising as the hope for the future. Not outdated leadership models.
A word to the church?
Then to finish the evening a Spanish flamenco Street dance performance and a singer covering familiar songs
