"I suspect you're not aware of how public relations work. How a few widespread images can influnce wide areas of opinion. You may only care about your patch, but festival promoters and others who want English Trad Arts to flourish need to take a national view. Specially in view of current BNP policy. Or don't you mind that?" I don't see any evidence, anywhere, that black face border has had any adverse impact on anyone or anything. Are you suggesting that festival promoters refuse to book black face morris? I don't see that BNP policy is informed by black face border either. Like it or not (and I don't) the BNP is a legal, legitimate political party. If anything it is you who are playing into their hands with this issue - whatever genuine political point you have to make is trivialised by this crusade against blacking up.
