Since David Croft is dead, why is David Cameron holding on to Mrs Theresa Slocombe and her imaginary pussy?
If this Government were not Blairite to the core, or even if it faced the equally Blairite "Opposition" that the media are still throwing a tantrum at the failure of their attempt to appoint, then those media would have screamed into oblivion a Prime Minister who belonged to an organised club dedicated to committing criminal damage and assault, a Chancellor who snorted cocaine while frequenting sadomasochistic prostitutes, a Murdoch-appointed Education Secretary whose one and only policy has sunk without trace and who used to be the hired help of apartheid South Africa, a Health Secretary who wants to abolish the NHS by abolishing the statutory responsibility that is the essence of his own job, a Defence Secretary whose Special Adviser is a foreign agent of a foreign power and who himself uses his position to do dodgy deals with or on behalf of his best mate, and now a Home Secretary who prefaces her made-up stories with, "I'm not making this up". Among many, many, many others.
But nothing could be more Blairite than barefaced lying, brazen cronyism and corruption, always putting American (and Israeli) interests before British ones if the latter are acknowledged to exist at all, wanting to abolish the NHS, close ties to the totalitarian regimes of yesteryear, donkey-daft gimmicks giving expression to an insane hatred of most schools, wholesale dependence on Rupert Murdoch, sexual deviancy, illegal drug use, forcibly rubbing ordinary people's faces in one's own grandeur, and generally being incompetent even at being obnoxious. So this utterly Blairite Government is safe.

If Peter Hitchens were less of a shrinking violet and instead said what he really thought, he would be David Lindsay.
ReplyDeleteYou are like one of those stand-ups who only exist on the circuit and DVD. Everyone involved in the television panel shows and Radio 4 knows and admires them, but they could never be allowed on air. You are like that in British political journalism, and for the same reason: you say what everyone else is thinking. This post is a case in point.
ReplyDeleteThose of us who have sat at the great man's feet consider him one of the principal influences on our lives. What are the latest freshers like?
ReplyDeleteOne of them had already heard of me! Seemed faintly awestruck, if that's not a contradiction in terms.
ReplyDeleteAnother one wants me to join Skype. We'll see.
All in all, they'll do.

ReplyDeleteTelegraph Blogs? Or only the editor?
You have never made yourself rich by lying this country into war. Politics and comment on it are still dominated by those who did that horrific thing. This country is now unrecognisable, that such creatures are still permitted the tiniest public role in it.
ReplyDelete@Anon 23:30, whether or not you intended to, you have made a serious point. Why are people like that the only people still deemed capable of having opinions, because to look at the media these days that would appear to have become the case? When did that happen, and why? Who decided that access to the commentariat would henceforth be run like some student election?
The same goes for politics. The only people now allowed anywhere near it are exactly the people who should be kept as far away as possible, and who were in the good old days of serious parties at both national and constituency levels. People who cannot possibly have had the necessary formative experiences. They had "better" things to do in late adolescence.
The rest of us used to have our revenge eventually, but not anymore. The sixth form and JCR cool crowd have apparently taken over completely. But they never had the right experiences. This is an utter disaster.
Don't worry about that editor, though. A busted flush, yesterday's man, on the way out.
@Max, yes, that was very much my point. How terrifyingly right you are.
ReplyDeleteMr Lindsay seems to have experienced that at first hand some years ago, passed over for some pretty, football and pop music loving nonentity with no political history.
Mr Lindsay has also played a key role in bringing down a certain someone. He would deny it, but he did. The last acts of that tragedy/farce are about to play themselves out.
As for the control of acceess to the media and politics by profiteers from the war they lied us into, that will take more time. But the process has begun with the election of Ed not David Miliband.
committing criminal damage and assault,......snorting cocaine.....frequenting sadomasochistic prostitutes....dodgy deals....barefaced lying, brazen cronyism and corruption...donkey-daft gimmicks.... sexual deviancy, illegal drug use....
ReplyDeleteYou need to be careful in what you say. After all, are we not all in this together? If so, then I am missing out somewhere on all this excitement. But then, I would be classed as 'below stairs' and not eligible for the BullyBoy Club activities.
