a quick search on google (yes I can hear the groans) reveals that the
Raine version of martian is the one that's made it out there...
i agree it's strange to have raine credited as bringing surrealism
into britpo. however, the article is there for all to edit. if you
feel that it's not reflecting your version of history then cry havoc
and let loose the editors! or do the members of britpo feel shy all of
a sudden?
