There is nothing bourgeous about the 'Sun'. It has always been resolutely proletarian (Murdoch-style).

Note : The Scottish Sun has not yet switched sides.

anticant said...

Which side do you think it will switch to?

Charles Kennedy answered it well on Question Time, Anti.

I have given up listening to that artificial, stilted, pseudo-discussion programme.

As if anyone really cares who the Sun supports. It is as self-important and politically relevant as a pantomime horse. Its fans get it for football and page three boobs.

The whole Murdoch thing is just a gigantic con trick. All he cares about is money, anyway. At least Rothermere and Beaverbrook, rogues though they were, had principles of a sort.

Any self-respecting politician should take a leaf out of Stanley Baldwin's book. He said "I wouldn't have men like that in my house".

"I wouldn't have men like that in my house".

Yep, unfortunately we do have people like that in The House.

I will try and get something definitive on the subject.

There is a Sun reporter who lives locally and I am involved with him in a peripheral way.

All this brings to mind the famous question : "What is to be done"?

Are there times when quaint Liberal philosophy simply fails the task?

Well, I don't think any of your Old Leftie collectivist notions are much use. They never were.

I am an anarchist-but. Unfortunately, the "but" is an inextricable part of being human. I wish it were not so. Things would be much better if everyone was capable of running their own lives without harming or being interfered with by others.

Comment is not free. Neither are you. Neither am I.

And there is no such thing as a free lunch.

I used to know a mouthy Trot in the 'sixties whose parting cry was "See you at the barricades". To which I replied "Yes - on the other side!"

It always amazes me when good old and wonderful "anarchists" refuse the collective nature of the human species. Jesus wept. Next these folk will be refusing the social context of freedom and necessity. Heaven forbid !

Then, even my very own partner in crime, the Anticant comes out clean and says that he is an anarchist but he is not free.

Surely there must be more so that some damned sense might be made from such table talk.

BTW : What can a "mouthy Trot" have to do with my original sinful text I ask.

anticant said...

You may well ask.

See you at the barricades.

Postmodern barricades have many more sides than 2U knows.

'The Barricades' sounds like the name of a pub in one of our housing schemes.
