Fantastic uplifting messages from the Vile Pervert; The Musical site - 2008/08/26 10:20
One really sweet one...
I stayed up late to watch this. If it were only possible for JK to stand for election, I would certainly vote for him. Whilst he seems to have an inexhaustible capacity to be upbeat and forward looking, I found much of the 'musical' (a most brilliant and hard-hitting piece of polemic) simultaneously humorous and appalling - because of the grotesque travesty of justice involved.
I remember at the time of his convicition, long before the horror that was to descend on me, that I privately felt he was being viciously scapegoated and that his imprisonment had nothing to do with justice, and everything to do with publicists, tabloid editors and 'trailer trash victims' seeking lucrative remuneration for their (massaged) concoctions. Sorry - that last sentence made me sound horribly snobbish; I have working class origins myself. But it is only the shittiest layer of the working class, in my youth, at any rate, that would resort to stitching up another human being for personal gain.
I was astounded by his broad-shouldered acceptance of tabloid nefariousness, although of course he is absolutely right: it is only when the educated elite - judges, legislators, lawyers and so on -allow themselves to be governed by febrile tabloid simplicities that liberty (and the rule of law) is endangered.
I am deeply impressed and hugely admiring - he makes my crouched, rocking foetal position in the aftermath of State violence look pathetic! Wherever he gets his courage from, I want some of it.
Please pass on my warmest best wishes and my deep admiration!
