— Roger Waters

Tweet by Polly Samson cited in "Roger Waters: 'I called Putin a gangster – that may have been unfair'" The Telegraph (8 February 2023). Samson's husband, David Gilmour, Waters' former Pink Floyd colleague, later added: "Every word demonstrably true". Waters described these comments as "incendiary and wildly inaccurate".
