An outstanding piece, John. I hope it is widely read.

Thanks Lou, may you too be always widely read.

Another voice of reason and balance that will inevitably find little sympathy amongst the ‘groupthink’ cohort. Many remaining artists who are just getting on with their creative lives may yet have their day. Can only hope !

It's becoming a bit of a hobby horse, but I can only wonder when it was that artists began to abandon the idea of working quietly in their studios

Striking the pose of reasonableness and being realistic are not the same thing.. See France Britain, Italia, Germany and several other European countries attempts at assimilating Muslims. All have failed. Mass deportation of Muslim extremist is now a maybe workable option . If not already too.late.

As for the Jews they never stop giving to the West in every area of endeavor.

Thank you for your post, fabulous reading as always, my only comment is that I think Herzog’s visit came at the right time, for me the sooner this aggression is exposed the sooner the powers that be will be forced to deal with it, then we can actually try for social cohesion

Personally, I think it came too early & helped provoke the uproar. I suspect Albo's mob had little option with the timing of the 'invitation'.
