i So which Mozart opera has all the swearing? Or was this one of the "Modern" productions where the producer used the music to put forward his own political message?

Don't know but from the evidence of the anecdote, the opera could not have been BY Mozart

i Funny how few people look in the ranks of their own party for the architects of this country's disgusting state.

Yes I know, but this knockabout stuff is simply a reflection of political, economic, theological, philosophical, sociological, biological (???) disagreements.

Meantime, I remeber that when it was too far into the Thatcher years to continue blaming it all on the miners or the 70s, she and they started blaming everything on the 60s.

Who likes admitting errors, if doing so will mean opening floodgates to a torrent of criticism? And one characteristic I've noticed about the Right is their unremitting relentlessness.
