Dean, check the final paragraph of your bio. I think you intend 'meant to be'. But maybe not. Perhaps, it's a jazzy little 'trap'.

Hi Hugh! Loved 'First Class Move' . The funniest things happen when flying. I was going out to board a plane once, and it looked really shabby and old, so much so that one did wonder........... There was a little Japanese businessman in front of me, who stopped in his tracks with dismay.The pilot, a lovely Irishman with a shock of red curls, stopped, patted him consolingly on the shoulder, and said, 'don't worry sir, all the big pieces are there'! Then we took ages over time to land, going round and round, so again I wondered if the landing carriage was blocked or worse. Then, there was only a curtain screening the cockpit, and as I was near the front I could see in when the hostess went up. The same pilot was sitting with his feet on the console, hat tipped forward, a drink in one hand and the other arm round the hostess. So I relaxed!!!!!Keep up the good work!
Jennifer

Thanks for your thoughts on Al Jolson, MC. It would make a great quiz question in a picture round to identify AJ not blacked up. Personally, I have no problems with him black facing in the 1920's. I myself have done it in the past for a James Bond fancy dress night. I'm sure he'd have second thoughts now. Just as I would.

Hi JC - as a matter of interest, in the YouTube video of Jolson singing
"Toot, toot, Tootsie", he does not wear "black face". He was a real
powerhouse of an entertainer and it's easy to see how the songs
he chose made him so popular from the 20s onwards. A footnote:
The song "Sonny Boy" was apparently written as a joke by its
writers when Jolson pressed them for material. He loved it! And
made it one of his biggest-ever hits among many.

Thank you for your words of welcome Cynthia. I'm eager to prove my mettle among a group of people who write such beautiful thoughts. I like what you think. I like how you think. There's a positivism and lack of cynicism that I see which is very refreshing. Otherwise poets are all doom and woe.

Hi Tom - thanks for the reasoned response to my message about
statues, plus The Guardian's slavery connection..
I see your point about the statues - but maybe that should apply to all
personal memorials when taking offence is such a fashionable indulgence these days.
Historically, there are many countries with empires in their
centuries of existence but no one (except the barbarians of Daish)
would sanction the destruction of the edifices that survive. Indeed, what would we be able to make of the past had that been the case.
No Rome/Italy as we know it; ditto no Athens/Greece and so much
else across the lands once held by the various empires of recorded history.
Once started, where to stop?
Cheers,
MC

Comment is about DeVaughn (poet profile)

Original item by DeVaughn

Hi MC, thanks for your perspective. Here's mine: I am not one for erasing the past, censoring and DVD-collection burning etc. In a country with as much history as ours, most long-lived institutions are going have histories that might make some modern heckles raise. However, do I think statues are a special case.

The people we choose to quite literally put (and keep) on a pedestal in our streets and cities for all to look up at are not always appropriate for the time.

It might sound flippant but if I had to pass a statue on my daily commute celebrating a historical figure who rounded up poets with ginger beards and slaughtered them or enslaved them - I'd probably feel quite unnecessarily awkward on a daily basis.

I do not think statues should be thrown into the sea either. Put them in a museum (it keeps them clean, safe, maintained, polished) and provide people interested in the history some context; the figure's pros and cons. And then let's have some modern, representational statues in their place; not just objectionable dead men. Maybe in 100 years, the new statues will need to be put in a museum and replaced too - so be it!

I'm not qualified to speak on what is and isn't offensive to minority groups in the UK, so it's important we listen to their voices and perspectives. We should be ready to act if the consensus is that dumb traditions (i.e. statues) need be challenged.

I love the range of views on WoL and the lively debate. I might see if I can write a poem about that... ? Cheers, Tom

Comment is about M.C. Newberry (poet profile)

Original item by M.C. Newberry

Hello Tom - when there seems to be "understanding" and even
sympathy for the assaults on statues with a perceived connection
with slavery here in the UK, it is salutary to be told that that bastion
of the liberal position in this life - The Guardian (formerly The
Manchester Guardian) was, according to a reliable source of knowledge, founded by cotton trader John Taylor and gave unqualified support to the Confederacy in America's Civil War,
reprinting its propaganda and attacking slave liberator Abe Lincoln.. Here's an example:
"It was an evil day both for America and the world when he (Lincoln)
was chosen President of the United States" - 10 October 1862.
Would there be understanding and sympathy if the BLM made an
assault on the offices of that newspaper citing its links to slavery?
Would it be seen as a "good day"?
History always has something to teach us - and not always "of the
moment".
MC.
