Despite its containing a word that I would not normally permit, I merely pass on the following comment, which was posted anonymously this afternoon:
All hail the uber-uber-blogger David Lindsay. Late yesterday afternoon you posted this here, and then copied and pasted it onto a couple of Westminster blogs. No one else seems to have mentioned it. But by the evening news the BNP reference was gone.
Don't you ever dare criticise the "uber-bloggers" again. None of them has remotely that sort of clout. You are Sky News to their BBC - everyone reads them, but everyone who matters also reads you. And they seem to take you more seriously. Why might that be?
Lower middle class regional outsider my arse!
They have bought into your nasty fantasy of yourself as the voice of the workers, the voice of the countryside, the voice of the North and the voice of the Catholic Church.
ReplyDeleteWith their background they have limited knowledge of the second and none at all of the other three. So they defer to you. You have cornered the market. Well done. But you sure as hell don't speak for this working-class, rural, Northern Catholic.
More than anyone else (even though it was Peter Hitchens' idea originally) you have made the BBC terrified of proving you and Hitchens right that it is pro-Cameron because he is posher, more liberal and more Blairite than Brown.
They should stand up to you instead. But they won't. So again, well done. I hope the champagne poisons you and you choke on your Cuban cigar.
