Spin needs a good look, they say

Venus our neighbouring planet ?

Thanks Chris... I missed that connection completely

40a) Propa (sounds like proper) Ganda (sounds like cockney gander, a look) propaganda= spin

I had that parsing bluemoo2 but there is no mention of "cockney" in the clue ?

A gander is criminal slang jazz girl for "look"

I know that bluemoo. My gripe is with the homophone, but I will go and moan in the sun....

Well, I thought I knew some odd mythological stuff, but thanks to Chrisg I now know some more.

I'd come across the Crown of Solomon (thanks to Charles Wiiliams' "Many Dimensions") & there's some other allusion I can't quite remember in Kipling, is a new one on me.

I should add that, once again, I'm having a devil of a job entering anything in this as the PC keeps losing its grip on this site!!!

I now see "spin" as having two meanings in this clue. If that is so, then I am a bit happier.
