The political leanings of James MacMillan CBE are well known.

Far from being an objective critic, he has been known to slander writers and performers through wilful misrepresentation. He repeats this above.

It’s sad that someone with such musical talents focuses on abuse and character assassination in written form.

If MacMillan seeks to expose the ‘vile, venal and parochial’, he can start with his own attempts at commentary.
