Subject: RE: BS: I am the BNP candidate in Chippenham
No jeddy. My point is this.

Thinking folkies above have said that they respected MBSGeorge's singing before they knew of her loathsome politics, and that her politics cannot affect the impression they had had of her singing.

I have given a real life example of a well-known man (a vile bully and wife-beater but not as far as I know a racist) who was widely respected for his skills (while alive) as a barrister. Since the facts have, since his death, emerged, I have ceased to hold the same respect for the very skills for which he was respected.

That is the extent of the analogy.
