    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

        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.

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

                              Actually Nige isnt a one trick pony.

                              He has something to say about wind farms too!

                              Wants them all banned.

                              We only have wind farms cause of Brussels apparantly!
