Shayler as new Icke figure of fun

[seancharron]

I don't often post here, as you can see, but last night when I viewed and read the Independent's 'scoop' on Shayler, the article struck me as unusual. (Google words [David Shayler Independent] for article).

Therefore I think it was relevant for the forum to muse on, provoking perhaps good cheer in sympathy with David Shayler as well as thoughts on why such a picture was published and for whose gain. I apologise too if my own humour to unearth any propaganda intended by the pictures was misread. Did David invite the paper over so he could attract public attention and make his statements? Perhaps he will say something more telling now we are all ears.

the younger Icke-style Son of god pronouncements I read as ironic. But David, if you read this, I would have to meet you to find out if this is who you truly think you are. What I think has happened is the David Icke story making a second round, this time with drag rather than a turquoise track-suit. I think also of Klinger in Mash, boycotting that war's insanity in drag.

My feeling is: DS has learned from D Icke that attracting the media's attention by doing something colourful gains you a platform. Perhaps he felt as a whistle-blower he was being ignored now? And I don't care if activists party too, dress up or whatever. It is only a problem for elected power-brokers who tell the masses to be squeaky clean and then get their private partying exposed.

But in closing, it will be interesting, indeed, to see what David S does and says next.

Similar to, "A boy called sue" Johnny Cash the man in black.

The core story of the song was inspired by humorist Jean Shepherd, a close friend of Shel Silverstein who was often taunted as a child because of his feminine-sounding name.
