I am as critical as anyone of dancing in the street, Wizard of Oz songs, and what have you.
But the Right exploded with bile when Michael Foot died. It will doubtless do so again for Tony Benn, Ken Livingstone, George Galloway, Diane Abbott...
My tweet saying this has been "favorited" by George Galloway. Does that mean that I have finally arrived? If so, then where, exactly? And why, exactly?
Not at all. That's just how the Left behave, because as Peter Hithens says "they are so sure they are right, that they no longer think their opponents are human"
ReplyDeleteWe love Tony Benn, whose opposition to the EU is as principled as ours.
Foot is principled, though absolutely wrong on hereditary peers, the economy, mass immigration and comprehensive education.
Galloway is an outright anti-British fraud who relies on Muslim votes while backing gay marriage and praising vile tyrants like Assad.
And he wants to sell out the Falkland Islanders like his 32 Labour colleagues who treacherously voted against the war.
No dancing in the streets for us-only the Left is that undignified.
Clearly not.
ReplyDeleteAnd in fact by far the most bilious, vicious, spiteful expressions of absolute conviction that any other view is subhuman are to be found below, or sometimes above, the line on the right-wing blogs.
There is nothing else like them. The wailing, spewing, impotent rage of people who were last led to a comfortable victory by someone who has now died of extreme old age, and who know that they are never going to taste power again.
"There is nothing else like them"
ReplyDeleteThe Right have never danced in the streets to celebrate the death of a Labour Party leader.
Once again, only the Left are that uncivilised, indecent and disgusting.
Its your side that holds the monopoly on seething hatred of anyone who disagrees with them, as this week's pictures show.
Clearly not.
ReplyDeleteNo other Prime Minister has had this dehumanising effect on people. The vitriol spewed at Foot, and then soon enough at Benn and so on, is not the product of anything that they ever did, but of another position's daring to exist at all.
It is the cry of the bewildered, wondering why they no longer run everything automatically, the way that they always used to. You are a perfect example of it.
David Lindsay you clearly live in a parallel universe. Anyhow just to say one thing in favour of George Galloway is he is very pro life and very anti abortion. He is also a conviction politician unlike the creepy lot in government today.

More than can be said for Thatcher, who legalised abortion up to birth under three of the four circumstances under which, with her support, it had been legalised in the first place.
