Well, no ... maybe that's too much trouble.
How much easier, simply to wail and gnash teeth....
Indeed it is.... ironic, really, that FReepers who pride themselves on responding to facts rather than emotion, seem so readily to believe the worst about a story -- in utter absence of facts -- when it meets their preconceived notions.
One of the best things I ever learned, was right here at FR: to be skeptical -- even cynical -- about any article; and especially so about articles that feed my preconceptions.
Let me clear up my post: the most recent production that I saw in London also attacked New Labour. I didn’t mean to say they ONLY attacked Conservatives. Now, if the community theatre production mentioned no one but conservatives that would be extremely rude and not very community-oriented. But I have no idea. In any case, the song is and always will be political satire.
“I am probably one of the biggest supporters of the Divine Sarah on FR. But I also know my theatre history.”
True, local productions always “update” the executioners list, and it’s good fun. However The two productions I have seen, and others on YouTube, cite both left and right figures. To cite Palin alone shows bias, and believe me, there’s plenty of lefty loons here in Montana.
A fairer version...
