He then went on to support a bill which promises to destroy much of what is best about the NHS.
    So please explain to me what on earth any of that has to do with Maestro at the Opera.

      Which is consistent with virtually every other contribution you make to this MB - it's about Sky. You would be on-topic to a near fanatical degree if this was The Sky Message Board. But it isn't, of course.

          Shoe-horning a fatuous political point into a thread about a BBC TV programme, and using some contorted logic to suggest that it is somehow relevant, just backs up rank and file's earlier post. There is no relevance whatsoever.

          John Skelton, I will continue to extol the virtues of Sky for as long as the usual suspects on these boards ridicule and belittle it, based on zero knowledge of the subject and nothing more than a knee-jerk reaction against anything remotely connected to News International. I thought it was just as relevant to point out that ENO had won another award as to the original post that mentioned the award they won at the ROH.

          I haven't contributed to this thread other than that, because I have no intention of watching the programme under discussion, and I was not at the ROH last night, but I have been following the thread with some interest, because I am pretty shocked that this fiasco was allowed by the ROH management; and when I saw Mr GG's disgraceful comment, I felt compelled to make my feelings known. As usual, he has been backed up by his little chums, but that is as predictable as it is tiresome.

            I hope you don't give in to your compulsions quite so freely in real life - it could land you in all sorts of trouble.

              I quoted the most relevant part, and the part that I thought was in poor taste. If Mr. GG had simply said, "Look what David Cameron's doing, some people don't learn by experience", then that would not have been so offensive. But to use a family tragedy such as this to score cheap points is, as I said, in extremely poor taste.

              Whatever one thinks of Cameron's politics, there is no justification for such a cheap shot.

              (Edit:- No comment on rollmill's post, Amateur? )
              I can't see what's cheap about Mr GongGong's post - spot on in my view

              I don't understand your comment about rolmill's post - which one?
