'WAV generally starts his threads with something fairly uncontroversial and people rub their hands with glee - "Another WAV bashing opportunity" ' - The Snail

This concept intrigued me, and I wanted to see if it were true. This thread started with a musical question and received a number of good-natured musical answers from many of the continuing respondents here.

So who was the first person to introduce the political argument about English culture being "kept down"? 3 guesses. And it still took some time before people got pissed off with his combination of ignorance, arrogance and persistent reactionary sloganeering.

I reiterate: WAV is not an innocent here. He's not a victim. He's an agent provocateur. If he doesn't like the responses he provokes, perhaps he should re-think his ideology and his methods of engagement.
