Thom Yorke reads a letter about men in suits
Ойын-сауық
Thom Yorke joined us at Letters Live at London's Union Chapel in 2019 to read a brilliant letter from Henry Stewart to the Guardian newspaper, sent in August 2016.
For more from Thom, watch his first performance in front of a live audience after lockdown at Letters Live at the Royal Albert Hall in 2021.

Actually they ARE his personal plights. in fact, if you look online, he stated that during the production of OK COMPUTER he was reading Noam Chomsky books.

Henry Stewart writing a short and sweet piece of excellence.
“If we are to start telling people what to wear, maybe, we should ban suits?😄” i love him SO MUCH.
Very apt he read this considering he used to sell suits when he was younger!

Very wise words, spoken by a very wise man.
Well delivered. He's learned something from his south park days when they couldn't get him to "emote"!
Here, in the US, I’ve never understood why the weather men on television wear suits and ties while they tell us how hot its going to be.

I’ve had a mild resentment against wearing suits since I can remember, so I fully support this letter XD
I am absolutrly creasing because it's like Alan Partridge and David Brent teamed up.

I've been in pubs and clubs, some of which have dress restrictions and some of which do not. I've never never had or seen any trouble in pubs and clubs without dress restrictions. The same can not be said of the pubs and clubs with dress restrictions

Wow. The thumbnail picture for this video is really badly chosen.
'Men in suits' qre literally torturing me .. . .
Why would you put the punchline in the title?
Thom York looks like the weird guy on Paranoid Android video?
God I love him. What's the context for this?
Since the jacket of a 'lounge' / business suit is nothing more than a re-tailored military tunic, yes, we should ban suits. You doubt me? Well, turn the lapels in and the collar up - you can very easily convert a jacket into a tunic for theatrical use; the button-hole even functions for the missing top button. And KZreadr Lindybeige has a rant about how impractical they are too.

Et bien qu'il envoie sa femme en Iran il verrait si elle a " le choix" ! Non à l'islamisation forcée de l'occident. Ce n'est qu'un artiste bobo bien planqué comme les autres, consensuel et complètement idiot utile ! Qu'il fasse de la musique, ce qu'il fait d'ailleurs très bien, le reste on s'en occupe !
i like thom but isnt it kinda ironic? suits are a neutral piece of clothing not identified by any religion.ehhh whatever.
Indeed the problem is not vestimentary but ideological. Both capitalism and islam are huge burdens for human progress
This misses the point about how toxic islamization is for the world, but in particular for Europe.
Men in suits taught me about economics, Islam, oppression, freedom of conscience, social coercion, and the difference between correlation and causation. Henry Stewart should seek one out.

I'm not sure Henry was claiming all men in suits are villains. Rather that if attire can serve as the symbolic focus of so many assumed ills then the most ubiquitous of all would surely be the business suit.

Men in suits have also kicked families to the curb to starve, stolen your wages to line their own pockets and dictated marginilised groups role in society. The point of the poem is that the people pushing to ban garb of normal everyday people who so happen to be muslim, are the people whos attire deserves to be banned because of the damage done by men in suits

the whole argument is twisted. Everyone who thinks the women wearing burka's are evil is a stupid idiot. The point of not wanting burka's is because of the freedoms and right we strive to uphold for our citizens. One of those rights is to not be invisible. @@Lagrangeify
Hey Henry (and Thom for that matter), banning burkas isn't meant to keep woman from from attacking others. It's meant to help woman who are oppressed, who have no voice, and are forced to wear them (have you been living under a rock with what's happened in Iran for example?). But Henry, if you're facing possible mutilation or worse by not wearing a suit, then by all means speak up.

@Ajapam34do you think brits are immune to the same kind of religious indoctrination and opression as other women or is this some kind of Olympic level double think? They're saying "You're not treating women like that on our watch." Go wear one for a day. It's dehumanizing. It removes your identity.

So ignorant...for so many it is a choice. You complain about Iran forcing what they can and cannot wear to wear something and respond by saying we should force what they cannot wear. How about, don't criminalise what people can or can't wear.
Moral…..Just be wary of men in suits…especially the buttoned and stitched up politically correct trying to hold people accountable to their standards….or those men in their perfect suits might just….cancel you.

By the way woke is a term used going back to the 30s and has many meanings….e.g….seize hold of the world….heap blame on…refer to The Book of Contemporary Slang by linguistic and lexicographer Tony Thorne. It is actually a word that means….nothing…it’s a current fad/trend…..Your welcome to get back to me on that.
