"madlizziecornish" is not Cornish. It's neither her name nor nationality. She comes from Pinner, Middlesex (allegedly). She knows nothing whatsoever about English music yet takes some sort of pride (of the scattergun variety, thanks Frau Krump) in snatching piecemeal this and that from anywhere (doesn't matter, sans fences is the mantra), and ramming it down people's throats even when

(a) they've been aware of for decades, thank you, or
(b) they didn't much want to know in the first place.

She's got delusions of spreading out music like some sort of fairy godmother, like her fantasy related above of being wholly responsible for sales of a CD which was practically sold out by the time she's heard of it and the band want her only to bloody well shut up.

She embarrasses the hell out of scores of performers who dread "endorsement" by her as a kiss of death and has bores thousands across cyberspace on scribbling boards which have tried, with varying success, to slam down drawbridges when she drifts into tirades of highly dangerous social policy bollocks.

There are a number of complex issues associated with this thread to do with the ethics of using Downfall in order to make yet another satirical point and it has thus generated a number of additional contributions way above her head.

What she has done is use it for two of her perennial themes, a vendetta against the Artistic Director of a world-renowned festival and to heap even more syrup on her fave "boysies".

Gervase, among many, is bloody sick of it. It's attention-seeking bilge serving no purpose than what she erroneously imagines in personal aggrandisement. Yes there are still some with a comprehension level lower than that of an educationally-challenged mud beetle whinging that "it's not all her fault". Yes it is.

Today, this forum has probably lost for good the wise and knowledgable contributions of Joan Crump / Ruth Archer. Presumably are are still some out there who will be proud of this too. Shame on you.
