Loony Fundie Nonsense for the Masses
« Bargain of the day: Celtic Mahjong | Main | 'Satan' to Mel: 'Pthrrrrpp!!!!!!!' »
The loony fundie party running in the European Parliamentary Elections in the UK on Thursday is funded with royalties from a song deliberately aimed at the gay market. Sinitta's So Macho was written by George Hargreaves, a songwriter and promoter who subsequenty turned Christian, and he has donated his royalties from that song to Opearation Christian Vote.
Ironically, he says he penned 'So Macho' not just for women but in a deliberate attempt to appeal to gay men's sense of humour...
It was a caricature of the medallion man,Hargreaves said.It was for women to dance round their handbags to and for the gay scene to go mad to on poppers,he admits. Despite this, Hargreaves does not accept the idea that his new vocation, which involves preaching on the sin of homosexuality, is hypocritical.
Those of us old enough to remember suspect the Buddhist Sinitta will not be impressed with her biggest hit being used to suppress women.

Garbled comments usually get deleted.
