The problem with the Inklings is
that they attract the wrong sort
of people - you can't read long
about them before running into
a fan or a scholar who is a supporter
and apologist of the Spanish dictator
Francisco Franco, and then you get
apologia for Mussolini, and an excuse
for not condemning Hitler...
Today it was the second post I read
on the web, in which an Inklings fan
babbled happily how Aragorn
was based on a British supporter
of Franco, a Scarlet Pimpernel
'saving' monks and nuns
from 'revolutionaries', while
bombs rained on Guernica
and a million people died.
