well, i very much applaud eliza for all her efforts and some great gigs - particularly with the ratcatchers. however i must admit i am a little surprised and a bit disappointed that she (and her dad) would accept the title of member of the british empire. it is, of course, entirely their choice but i don't like to think of folk who i have great respect for being supportive of such an archaic and disgraceful institution. i thought they were good old lefties!
