| I usually avoid this, but... You are an abrasive, abusive, rather ignorant person. You're a bully and it floors me that you're not censored and censured more on this page. Anyone who holds a different opinion than you is immediately berated, belittled, and denigrated by your acid tongue, and it's repugnant. Grow the h*ll up. |

| ALW has done his utmost to get the UK government to act and help the arts at a time when they need it most. He is not just a composer with a couple of shows running and a new one set to open. He also owns many of the major properties in the West End and has spent millions to ensure they are up to grade and, in most cases, renovated to enhance the audience experience - the things he is doing with the Drury Lane (where Frozen will open in the summer) look to be extraordinary. He is also a key funder to many arts programs including an amazing theatre college in my neighbourhood, ArtsEd. His passion for theatre (in terms of productions, education/opportunities and architecture) and relentless efforts to get the government to pay attention to an industry that is vital to the London/UK economy is, in my book, something to be respected and admired. |

| Up until the last 3 to 4 weeks, the UK was experiencing over 1000 deaths per day. One week in early February they had as many as over 1400 deaths in a single day. They've gotten their daily rate down significantly in the last couple of weeks, but that's hardly definitive. They certainly have not beaten the virus yet. The science dictates that they should maintain the safety protocols that have worked at least for another 6 months or so -- too many lives are at sake. The UK like Japan, Australia, and New Zealand has an incredible advantage over every other developed nation in Europe and certainly over a country like the U.S. -- the UK is an island. If you compare the UK's overall death rate to the other island nations I mentioned (Japan, Australia, and New Zealand), their record is shockingly bad, worse than even that of the United States. Of course, ultimately that is the legacy of Boris Johnson, just like America's failure is the legacy of Donald Trump. However, I think ryhog's assessment is accurate -- Lloyd Webber is not a medical professional and has consistently been ignoring science. What he is advocating will cost lives. |

| I see no need to apologize for characterizing what ALW wanted to do as attempted manslaughter. The only thing that separates him from his tang-infused buddy is that he did not have enough power to commit murder while reposing in the 5000 acres of safety at Sydmonton Court. | |
