Nah, that's just untrue.  EMI probably wet their collective pants when
they heard the album ("Thank God it's not another 'Dreaming'" probably
ran through their collective mind), and thought of all the money they'd
make.

And who are these cynics?  I've seen very very few negative reviews of
HoL.

Well, it depends on what you mean by political.  Kate Bush doesn't
really ever write from a political viewpoint, and she is notorious for
not wanting to talk about politics, but some of the issues she writes
about can be seen as being political in some sense.  On HoL, there is
"Cloudbusting", which deals with the U.S. government throwing Wilhelm
Reich in jail, which kills him.  And "The Big Sky" and "Waking The
Witch" seem to be, in part, jabs at the British music press.
