      Thank you. I know them well. They are deeply sound.

    I see that your stalker has turned up in the comments.

      Yes, plugging my books when he is not plugging this site. I shall raise a glass to him out of my fee.

      As you have just tweeted to him, "Do you honestly think that I don't know them, or that they don't know me? I didn't have to pitch this. They invited me." You used to write for TAC's Post-Right blog but he obviously doesn't know that. The TAC boys all seem to be your friends on Facebook and your followers on Twitter but finding that out would have involved a little research.

      With his "silly little boy" comment to @LanchesterLad on twitter, David Lindsay has become as camp as me.

      Not when it is purely descriptive.

    I know, I saw that. Ed was in more danger from that irreconcilable old Blairite than from anyone else.

    Still, at least he has made his red-top début fully clothed. Let us be grateful for that small mercy.

    I did have to laugh at the "social democracy" comment at the end. Know your audience, for heavens sakes. This isn't the Guardian.

    It's a conservative readership who believe in personal responsibility not "I want government to do everything for me".

      "Know your audience," indeed, dear boy.

      As you yourself might put it, Mr. L, bless. As you have put it on Twitter this afternoon, you are "practically family" to the American Conservative.

      To quote one of TAC's and its Editor's several tweets linking to my piece, "Social democracy is the only thing preventing the breakup of Britain".

      That is the editorial line of the paleocon house journal. Well, of course it is. Know your audience, indeed.

    The Boston basketball team are "seltics" as well.

    Great title.

    Though I'm sure Catholic social teaching doesn't just involve distributism; it's proponents say it must also involve Catholic social policies on issues like the family and abortion.

    And we obviously don't have any "labour movement" or Parliamentary party advocating that in Britain.

    They just want the money. Without the responsibility.

      Not a single party. But it's there. It certainly isn't the other lot, either. But it's there.

    He is a wingman for Ed Miliband. Your main journalistic contact in the world, seemingly the only place you can get paid work, is a magazine founded by Pat Buchanan and Taki and staffed by your Buchananite mates. But you are the great hope of the left and he is an infiltrator. Yeah, right.
