When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lighting or in rain?



Terry Eagleton – An Apology

In his new book On Evil, the academic Terry Eagleton revises his opinion of ‘The Scottish Play”

“Twenty years ago,” he says, “I mistakenly suggested that the three witches, with their ‘fair is foul and foul is fair’ philosophy, were feminist visionaries who wanted to subvert the old - patriarchal – order of King Duncan.

“I now realise that nothing could be further from the truth. Once you become a member of the establishment, ALL subversion is destructive and negative. I now accept that these secret, black,& midnight hags were in fact nothing more than a bunch of nihilist bitches, I mean, witches.

“I would like to add that I am not, and have never been a member of the establishment.”

Mirror, Mirror on the wall



This website agrees with the Daily Mirror! We must not return to the 1980s.
Indeed it would be a tragedy were we to return to the dark days of the Thatcher government, when Robert Maxwell was editor of the Daily Mirror!
