'Come up'

I'm not welcome in the UK or US. Paul was a proscribed terrorist before our films, and their strong anti-war and pro-peace message conflicts with Five Eyes views. Australia and Canada are more likely to let me travel, but I swear that my passport was nicked while I was on holiday. It might turn up, but I don't have it atm. Yes, Paul really founded Palestine Action. Funded it as well. - Donald Trump was very clear to stay out of the US... Andy Burnham is being a dick. Total tool of the war machine: lipstick on a pig. To reiterate: though King Charles is nominally our Head of State, we're a sovereign nation. New Zealand and Australia aren't the property of the UK. Haven't been for decades. Interfering in my life here is actually illegal. Back off immediately unless you have a warrant. - There's no way around it: films made in London can't use my ability to sound like him. I'll get a licence to use my covers on Spotify or Amazon Music, but you can't steal them. Those performances are what you couldn't do... Films in New Zealand can use it, though actually my old friends and flatmates are likely to do the bulk of the work while I do the fingerpicking guitar bits. Paul was willing to hire pretty much anyone that I knew, and they all passed his tests. Ingrid's a solid George, Aidin's a solid Paul and Jack's a really strong John. Tom Holland is keen to be Ringo. He loves motion capture. I'll overdub the voices with Jack, Tom and possibly Paul Kowert.

As for 'we'll give you a visa if you agree not to protest' --- fuck off! Why do you think I'm a big name? It's not because I didn't protest... It's because I'm a famous political activist like John Lennon or Ed Sanders. It's not a branding thing: I just don't believe in war. On my Mum's side, my grandfather was a conscientious objector. On my Dad's side, we're part of the Kīngitanga, which doesn't believe in war. The Māori faith that most Kīngitanga believe in is either Rātana or Pai Mārire. Both are essentially peaceful.

Though I'm officially the last surviving Beatle, I'm sick of all the Beatles crap. My covers are cool. I'm still on the hook to finish Beatles Invade The Establishment, but there's no deadline. Apple Corps just wants me to tell it right. Why isn't Allan Klein in it (yet)? I was working from Paul's memories. He preferred to pretend like he didn't exist. The board and I agree that live-action attempts to imitate the Fab Four are bad. All it seems to bring is misery and death. It's been a twenty-year cycle of failure.
