...in that, similar to the way that a side product of the Ludovico Treatment was that he felt ill whenever he heard his beloved Beethoven in the film, I've just watched the BNP's Party Political Broadcast. They used Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana in the background. I'm never going to enjoy hearing that again. | ||

They soil everything they get their hands on. And I still feel sick when I recall a youtube clip I saw the other month of their leader addressing the KKK. | ||

"They used Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana in the background. I'm never going to enjoy hearing that again." I certainly hope you will, Mick. I'm sure Hitler and Stalin liked works we admire. Don't you think the art came first, though, and survives any guilt by association? | ||

You're right of course, Ramsey, but on a purely personal level it'll be a while before I can hear the piece without seeing Griffin's face. | ||

Didn't catch it on TV but saw it online- what enraged me was the invocation of the Second World War to bolster these Nazi scum. My grandfather died defending a democratic society from filth like Griffin. | ||

As I mentioned on another thread, I had a BNP leaflet through the door today, it went in the bin. Only thing I agree with that bunch of idiots is (and this like saying both Hitler & I both like custard)that we should get out of Afghanistan soonest. gcw |
