Cruel Britannia
from The David Eagle Podcast Hosted by David Eagle
At 11pm on Saturday 31st July I was turfed out onto the street by Britannia Sachas Hotel in Manchester, despite having booked and paid for a room. They had sold my room on to someone else at a higher cost. Last week I devised a plan to gain my revenge on Britannia Hotels. I wrote a song about them, contacted the newspapers, sent emails, Facebook invites and tweets to fellow folk singers and comedians in the Manchester area. The idea was for us all to flash mob the hotel with my song. Hundreds of people expressed an interest in joining me. Manchester Evening News said they wanted to cover the event. This podcast is a recording of what occurred when we travelled to Manchester to picket Britannia Sachas Hotel with my song of protest. How many people would join me, and will the newspaper reporter turn up to cover it? Find out in this instalment of The David Eagle Podcast.
