Well, they printed my letter (edited version of a post here in FT399 about the Aintree Satanists, thanks David Sutton!)
Interestingly enough, Rob Gandy got in there too - evidently great minds think alike, as he too picked up on the moving statue connection regarding the Bonzo Dog Band song about the "Equestrian Statue", I noted it here in the discussion on FT398. (No, definitely not accusing - to anyone who read 398 and loves the Bonzos, it's a very obvious association of ideas. A great mind - his - and a scattergun mind - mine - both made the same associative jump independently of each other!)
with regard to something else I've speculated about in these pages, in the North Korean discussions. The sort of authoritarian-but-needy mind on the far Left who craves a great leader to follow and idolise, who in olden days would have been a Stalin groupie or a Maoist, who now finds that the waters of Communism are running at such low tide that all there is to have a Cult of Personality around is Kim-Jong-un. (Deep sigh. Doctrinist and authoritarian dictators are not what they were). I'm wondering how long it will be before the unhinged fringe of Tankies discover Turkmanistan and its Great Leaders. The ingredients are all there!
