While I am as concerned as anyone about cruelty to horses, what I am more concerned about is infiltration of the folk scene by the right wing who see it as an opportunity to further their cause

Well, you have certainly clarified your position.

I'm quite happy to let people decide, from the evidence on this thread, which is the more likely:

1) As someone who has actually been to Appleby Fair some 30 odd times, that I am part of some right-wing conspiracy to bring about its demise, or

2) That you are some self-appointed "super-hero" of the folk scene, bulldozing evidence aside in your witch-hunt to expose the incursions of an 'enemy' which exists solely in your twisted mind.

And if you accuse me of being a right-wing infiltrator, then you get personal abuse. OK?
