PM plays Lamyai game

re: "Lamyai vows more appropriate 'twerks'" (BP, June 14)


Dear editor,
Happiness is not returning as the PM again exposes himself.

Is the performer Lamyai sexually provocative? Of course she is. Much dance in every culture always has been: a primary purpose of dance is, after all, about getting partners for … sex. The solution is incredibly simple: if the PM does not like what obviously appeals to many, he is perfectly free (at least he would be in a democracy) not to look at the performances. He doesn't even need to invoke the awe-full s44 to protect a sensitive conservatism rooted in the bad old ways of the mythic past.

Lamyai's lusty dance movements might not be appropriate in parliament, but then, neither are military movements.
