I enjoyed that video. I haven't thought about Spare in ages and he was indeed a fascinating guy and a great artist. I found out about him via Psychic TV's Allegory and Self album. I even ordered a xeroxed copy of The Book of Pleasure from Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth back in the late 80s but I honestly don't remember much about the book other than the illustrations.

I went to an exhibition at a London occult bookshop of some of his work last year, some great pieces there including one for sale at just under £2000.00. Was extremely tempted but my wife would have killed me. I have quite a few books of his works including the book of pleasure also. There's an extremely good biography by the bloke who appeared in that video too. Also a book of his tarot card drawings came out a year or too back which is very good.

Goes on about Tory noses in the trough and not spending on the right things, then wants to splurge two large on a piece of fat cat art. I just wish you'd stick to what you keep telling us.

I earned every penny mate, i am not an MP so don't see the connection. Would have been a great investment anyway, AOS artworks are due to rise in value. He is so underrated.

I don't care if he takes it, he's the one always moaning about wastage and noses in trough in Europe. He wants to take it then fine but he has to accept that some people will find him rather hypocritical. You don't, fair enough.

I think the stuff he is moaning about is huge vanity projects and expense accounts, not regular payments for doing a job, like a pension. Most people would say a pension is a normal part of a job's compensation. You don't, fair enough.
