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.Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.

Originally posted by Mr Pee View PostI 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.
