Do UKIP meet in a Planet Gong style teleconference ?
I'm finding it's stretching the bounds of credulity to think that people who know so much about music would be taken in by such a load of twaddle

We know a lot about other things too. We read, we go to the theatre. We watch football matches, have pic-nics, we get pissed, we go to the gym, buy groceries. I haven't eaten a baby in weeks! In fact, we're really quite normal

[Beef Oven]

Bad news. You live there.

Bryn!!!!! Pass the celotape, quick, my sidea are splitting

[MrGongGong]

I wasn't aware that knowing a lot about music came with an attached compulsory political viewpoint. Some people who know a lot about music also vote Conservative, you know...or UKIP.

Why am I NOT surprised that you misunderstood ?

Believe it or not i'm not talking about a "compulsory political viewpoint" but rather that, in my experience, people who are musicians or very knowledgeable about music (or literature & art for example) tend to have a wider experience of the world through travel and awareness of other cultures. This usually leads (though obviously NOT in Camerons case .... as experience doesn't equate with wisdom or empathy in him !) to a less "little englander" mentality. One doesn't have to dig too deep to see the undercurrents in the whole UKIP thing , something that anyone with a passing understanding of Wagner would "get" straight away........


and if these people are "NORMAL" we definitely need protecting from them right away

I think it's called having one's cake and eating it, GG - an ethical stance very much of our times.

GG knows a lot about cake - he's a distant cousin of Marie Antoinette.

Please Sir, I don't watch football matches

[Beef Oven]

I'm not sure that I would.....

Just out of curiosity, you know Pee.

I'm more of a Sourdough man myself
and even though I did used to live in Totnes
and have a pair of Birkenstocks
I'm not a "lefty" ................ pass the foie gras

[Beef Oven]

Please Sir, I don't watch football matches

Nor does Nigel, but what he doesn't know about cricket.........

[MrGongGong]

Please Sir, I don't watch football matches

And yet you, who claim to be possessed of such a wide knowledge and tolerant nature, arrogantly dismiss UKIP supporters as "little Englanders". How very open-minded of you.
