The only edit I made is the addition in square brackets as a courtesy to you because you had trouble understanding what I meant.<br /><br />If you are insinuating the three women have embroidered their account due to nefarious motivations, you are sailing close to the very winds you threaten.<br /><br />Taking the Beijing Cack cocks to task is a fair cop, George.

I am trying to make a wider point in a bigger debate and expressing the hope that the Arts Council isn't involved in shows that might display the same mean-spiritedness as the Trojan Horse that got through in Scotland (ACE being Arts Council England). <br /><br />It's also a plea that they hold the line and refrain from doing so in the future (More Light at the Arcola springs to mind). <br /><br />I'm delighted that we are in agreement over the key principle here.Madam Miaowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237951918529887305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-46640883823221180022013-08-22T10:16:10.360+01:002013-08-22T10:16:10.360+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07696453173833856184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-71327400223081105012013-08-22T08:43:49.799+01:002013-08-22T08:43:49.799+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07696453173833856184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-83722936798119403602013-08-21T22:31:49.515+01:002013-08-21T22:31:49.515+01:00Hi Paul,

It thoroughly amazes me how much more people think they can be racist against the Chinese nowadays. Interestingly when I recently went to the London Eye, there was a 4D film preview which was really well done apart from a scene with two white "yellowfaced" girls with Chinese umbreallas introducing a Chinese dragon dance. This was straight after a Bollywood number featuring "authentic" Indian performers. I don't think anyone else noticed apart from me. Sigh....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513415356714761959noreply@blogger.com
