They're very smart. They come out winning (ie, they get respect and freedom), and hundreds of people are left with butterflies in their stomach. I know exactly what Craig is reporting about New Order, and he's not wrong, but my opinion differs. I think the film 24 Hour Party people needs to be viewed and digested for people to really understand New Order. It's contextual. They definitely play to standards that they set for themselves.
