Agenda: Keeping politics out of Edinburgh's festivals
When we were children and didn’t want to hear what others were saying to us, we would put our fingers in our ears and drown them out. Growing up, we soon realise drowning out or shouting down voices which conflict with or contradict our own, doesn’t really work. We simply end up listening to ourselves. Maturity dictates that at some point we have to listen to others.
