Good on the marchers. (Wasn't that postponed from an earlier date after one of the (then) organisers turned out to have been combining gay activism with EDL membership? Maybe the low turnout for this one was a knock-on effect and it was unjustly tainted by association...)

'Victim' is just one of the greats in the Dirk pantheon, groundbreaking as it was. 'The Servant' will always be my fave. And I've got a soft spot for 'Cast A Dark Shadow' from the pre-arthouse days where he plays a murderous toyboy narcissist with a full set of contemporary queer signifiers: pinkie ring, white socks, muscle mags. And let's not forget spy thriller 'The Mindbenders' in which Dirk's brainwashed in a flotation tank until he starts hallucinating, alternating between husky erotic murmuring and thrashing his limbs about as he bellows 'Knees Up Mother Brown'.

Oh, don't get me started...

Gosh, that chap who wrote the tabloid article seems to know an awful lot about 'them' eh?

Let me know if I can help in any way. Sponsored disco-dancing, that sort of thing x

He knew a lot, indeed. *&%/$%? spy!
