I was wondering when the historic comments of the Lib Dem candidate in Newcastle would come up. It seems to have been the Conservatives that first made light of them here but they were pointed out by Labour activists when he stood in the 2019 General Election. But it doesn't really seem reasonable for Labour to comment on them as not only was he under 16 when he made the comments, but he had a stint as an active Labour member between then and now!

I assume you mean 'brought to light' rather than 'made light of' ? Making light of them are what they should have done of course (though of course as usual we are never told what these 'offensive' comments are, and invited to make up our own minds about whether they actually are offensive)

I have to say that the Janáček work is one of the most difficult pieces that I've ever played, and the fourth movement is probably the most straightforward of the five. What the residents of Broseley, Shropshire thought of it when we performed it in their parish church can only be speculated, but they gave us a decent round of applause at the time.
