benefit these lost and drifting women

Who says they're lost and drifting? They're just people, no more lost or drifting than you & I, dealing with life as they see fit and making lemonade where necessary. More power to them - if there is a them of course, rather than a few canny Daughters of Albion who the reactionary misogynistic media perceive as an organised mob-threat to public decency, moral order and so-called Christian Values. As far as I'm concerned such decency, order or values can't be threatened enough - high time we dispose of them altogether then we might be getting someplace, especially when they are used as a means to superiority and condecension as is very much the case here.

And as for Britain being a rancid shithole - well, this is the land of my birth and it's where I have chosen to live. I sing its Folksongs, enjoy its Classical and Popular Music Traditions (from Dowland to UK Hip-Hop), and having spent a lovely rainy day in Saltaire and partaking of the delights of Salt Mills and the Early Music Shop then there must be something about Great Britain I love. But the bastards who run it (GB, not Salt Mills) have sold it down the pan - and yet dare to scapegoat the innocent for its faults, whilst the media persist in seeing faults where there aren't any just to keep the population afraid of its own shadow. One of these days the Good People of Britain will realise that its shadow is its best ally - and those lost and drifting women truly our best hope for a worthy future.
