Hi, Reta, This is supposed to be a forum for musicians and those interested in Music. I personally don't welcome political intrusions which have no musical validity and I suspect that Alison doesn't either, though I wouldn't dare speak on her behalf. I'm sorry if you might feel miffed by these opinions, but they are a reaction to those who would prefer to forget the likes of me who have suffered 30 years and who still have managed to keep a sense of proportion. I have no wish to continue along this line and will make no further comment, but I felt that I had to speak up. Please do not take offence. Roddy
