Tank you a million times for this
"The majority may be wrong but they are the majority and it is the majority perception that matters"
Where am hearing this constantly nowadays - every time I switch on a Brexit debate
The only difference is that a slim majority were conned enough to vote or this act of self-harm
Folk song, however defined, has never caught the interest, nver mind the support of the vast majority of the people
A "majority" Com onnnnnn !
The people don't care - the only people who do are us crumblies with one foot in the flower bed
Haven taken on the music, it is up to us to take on the responsibility for it
This is little more than populism without the opportunity to vote
