Re: forget DicknBush, what are the Who's politics?



Made an air force commercial during the Viet Nam War and then said sorry, 
they didn't know it was political.  They seem to have individual politics, 
but nothing as a group.  They are very loyal (and apparently patriotic) 
Britons as they remained in the country during the heavily socialist (and 
high tax) era before Thatcher.
