ROGER WATERS RETURNS TO USEFUL IDIOTS

“Is the revolution around the corner? I effing hope so!”

Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters returns to Useful Idiots as bold and funny as ever, with takes on the UK’s new “self-serving Nazi” Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the meaninglessness of the Trump assassination attempt, the real devastation happening everyday in Gaza, Julian Assange, and so much more.

Roger laments that our leaders are “Joe Biden, who thinks he rules the world” and “Keir Starmer, who's a self-serving, career Nazi. They would do anything, tell any lie, adopt any position that can give them power and influence.”

Waters asks what would have happened if the assassination attempt on Trump had been successful: “Nothing. There'd be another puppet there instead. It doesn't make any difference.”

Which is why Roger believes working hard to get these people, Trump and Biden, out of office is so important. “You have an opportunity now to take part in the existential battle for the human soul that Aaron and Katie and I and millions, billions of people all over the world are engaged in. Because we care about right and wrong and we care about human rights and we care about our brothers and sisters.”

And if we don’t? “We are heading towards World War Three very, very fast.”

Last week, Aaron appeared on Piers Morgan in a debate with two very angry Zionists. The week before, Roger debated Piers himself. The two trade stories of the frustrating environment and how blatant lies (beheaded babies, evidence-less sexual assault of Israeli women), and propaganda (the covering up of Israel’s mass violence of its own people on October 7th) are being shoved down our throats.

“People on this issue just repeat again and again claims that have been debunked. They've been doing it since Joseph Goebbels and Herman Goering suggested it in the late 1930s. The bigger the lie you tell, the better it is. You just have to keep repeating it.”

Subscribe to hear the full interview with Roger Waters where he shares stories of his meeting with Julian Assange, a song from his upcoming album, the fascist uniform he wears for his live shows, and what he does every day to make a difference in the world.

“It's not easy. We all of us wake up in the morning and burst into tears, and then think ‘All right pull yourself together you big lunk. There's work to be done.’ And we think what can I do today to to make a difference? However tiny it is, what can I do today that is not standing by, silent and indifferent? What can I do?”

The Fumbally is a café, a shop, an event space, a kitchen, a community of people who come and go and help us evolve along the way.

Luca and Aisling took over a vacant building on the corner of Fumbally lane in 2012 after years of working together in festivals and travelling the world to bring back ideas. Dinners with friends and visits to small farms and producers in various different countries is where it all began. The Fumbally family has been made up of many different iterations of chefs, artists and all round passionate people over the years and together we have been feeding the neighbourhood of Dublin 8 since the café first opened its doors – music gigs, exhibitions, markets, workshops and collaborations in tow.

The Fumbally Stables was created in 2015, an old stables building next door to the café that allowed us to explore more of the cultural and education based work that we are interested in. From yoga and meditation classes to talks, film screenings, food event series and fermentation workshops, The Stables has become the supporting right hand of The Fumbally and allows us to continue to be more than just a café.

In 2020 as the world flipped, so did we

We had to reinvent ourselves, like everyone else. So we switched over to The Fumbally Shop which kept us going through the pandemic selling fresh produce and dishes from a take-away kitchen. The shop is now here to stay and the new Fumbally is both a café and somewhere you can do your weekly shopping. Thanks to the expansion of our wine shelves our dinners have also gotten a little bit more interesting and our love and support of natural wines will play a central role in any future evening endeavours.

A bit about our ethos

We place a huge amount of emphasis on our relationships with suppliers. These can be local or further afield, but it is the human connections that make our supplier relations strong – local, sustainable and organic are not just buzz words – they are a real and tangible way of engaging in the world. We align with them in any way we can. Having said that, we are not exclusively organic nor local with our produce. Because choices in these areas can be complex and we are ok with making compromises sometimes.

We believe in sharing our success with our staff. This is why we have a profit share scheme that all staff members are entitled to partake in once they have worked in the company for one year or more.

We run a circular kitchen. This means there is no head chef, rather our chefs work alongside each other sharing responsibility and creative input and move around different roles in the kitchen.

Our food is honest and no frills. Sometimes we like to get all fancy. But mostly its simple and thoughtful and what happens before it comes to us is just as important as what happens after.
