I'm really saddened to read about George's statement and the feelings that have been stirred up here. I'm certain she's walking the wrong track and hope that in time, she will realise this and understand how dreadful her political choice has been. GreenSue has suggested that she may be 'naiive', which could quite easily be the case given George's youth.

George, could you please consider dropping the 'MBS' prefix of your MudCat handle? I'm sure that other Middle Bar Singers will agree with me that MBS have no wish to be associated with your beliefs at this time and continuing to use the prefix might suggest that we condone your stance.
