We have Pinewoood studios, major Hollywood directors... our advertising talent is world class. I'd even sooner have seen the set designers for bloody Ant and Dec's Saturday Night show given the job than Powell. Instead, it was handed to some backwoods 'outreach' org from Oop North - and it came up with something nobody would even have turned out to watch on a rainy day in Ampleforth.<BR/><BR/>These people like Powell don't represent me or millions of others and I still believe the tide can turn.All Shook Uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815298630864905608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27416700.post-48317139092759432992008-08-28T17:24:00.000+01:002008-08-28T17:24:00.000+01:00Fortunately, I never laid eyes on that footage bec...Fortunately, I never laid eyes on that footage because I had a premonition of it's utter, dismal wretchedness. It's only when I heard on the news, that a portrait of Myra Hindley had become part of its feature, that I realised how truly depressing it really was. <BR/><BR/>Once the material of Empire and the arbiter of nations, now dumbed down into a consumer culture with no real sense of their own purpose, these appear to be the remnants of a nation with no direction or ideals left, other than the uncontested cynical imagination, the nihilistic pleasure in the abject for art’s sake, and the pointlessness that has become an art in itself...Selena Dreamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11629908887644614404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27416700.post-75553560837162022152008-08-28T13:49:00.000+01:002008-08-28T13:49:00.000+01:00Ah those were Gentlemen Amateurs, sense of superio...Ah those were Gentlemen Amateurs, sense of superiority over natives honed on the playing fields of Eton.
