they do not always follow their own beliefs. Is it any clearer now?

I think Mick made it very clear a couple of times that he does NOT vote the Tory Party. Watch Being Mick, he says he votes Labour again.

No doubt, Jagger votes Tory. Most people tend to vote like their parents. (...) The dissimulation in Jagger's case is the contrast between his libertine amoral rock star lifestyle and the conservative family values (i.e. bigotry) that constitutes the Tory Party.

I don't think it's unfair to assume that he favors Tories in G.B and the Democrats in the U.S . But what about Keith? I don't think he votes but I read somewhere that he supported the Iraqi war. Is he also a closet conservative?

I think, as you get older, you tend to agree more with the Daily Telegraph as opposed to The Guardian.

I don't know, but possibly yes, Stoneage. There's a sense of the frontiersman about Keith: maybe he was exposed to way too many Westerns as a kid.
Although, he could be "A walking contradiction" to quote Kris Kristofferson, in that in some instances he could be left-leaning, and in other instances, right leaning.
I was pro the Iraq War myself, until, as a classics scholar, I was perturbed at the cultural vandalism committed by the US Army and their desecration of ancient art from the days of the epic of Gilgamesh.
I was also pro Afghanistan, due to the desecration of the buddhas by the Taliban. I am exceedingly against cultural savagery, be it on both sides.

I've been reading the magazine since I was in high school. Thank God, it hasn't changed as much as newspapers have.
