Like I said, I didn't see the prog, so this stuff about Crowley betraying his country is all new to me and I couldn't possibly comment . And I also said I'm no expert, but I thought a main theme of this thread was whether he was evil or not.
All I'm saying is that I don't believe a lot of what was written about the man, that his reputation precedes him, and like Maralyn Manson, I think he deliberately said a load of stuff just to shock and upset, which he did rather well.
I have a tongue in cheek attitude when it comes to Crowley and everything written or said about him, and unlike Mr Merton, having never met the bloke and considering all the hype and hysteria surrounding him I'd rather reserve judgement. I thought the blood drinking story was made up anyway, and I think having an overly permissive attitude to sex and drugs does not make you evil.
