Yorke snubs Tony Blair invitation
22/03/2006 - 13:05:47Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has said he turned down an invitation to meet the UK Prime Minister Tony Blair to discuss climate change.
The singer is an ambassador for Friends of the Earth, who asked him to put his views to Mr Blair in September.
However, he has revealed that he declined because he thought the prime minister had "no environmental credentials".
He also said he got "freaked out" by preliminary discussions with Mr Blair's advisers.
As well as backing the Friends of the Earth Big Ask campaign, calling for a cut in greenhouse gas emissions, Thom Yorke has protested against global trade laws and the Iraq war.
