Simply awesome. I think mockery like this is a very nice way to demask those right-wing assholes.

I also particularly like this paragraph in the Guardian article pointing out the inherent political value of hedonism:

The late 70s disco boom coincided with the surging popularity of the National Front and the musical counter-attack of Rock Against Racism, but there was little overlap. RAR called for "Crisis music. Now music. Music that knows who the real enemy is," which meant punk and reggae, not the seemingly cheerful hedonism of disco.

However, disco grew out of marginalised subcultures – black, Latino and gay – with an inherent message of unity and self-expression.

Excellent.
