(hecklerspray) Bob Geldof has unveiled the latest Live 8 ruse to make the leaders of the world stop ignoring him. And it goes by the name of Sail 8.

The plan to have Annie Lennox warble a bunch of nonsense at thousands of people in Hyde Park in a Live 8 concert has critically backfired, even though it'll probably draw lots of positive long-term attention. So now Geldof is starting to concentrate more on the march in Gleneagles four days after the concert.
