Quote of the Day

Adam Boulton blogs

“Two important sectors of our society now feel under a great deal of pressure, beset by plunging fortunes and public esteem: newspapers and politicians. As they go down they are turning in on each other with increasing viciousness – politician against journalist, politician against polititian, journalist against journalist.”

      One of them is the parasite and one the host, but they haven’t quite worked out which one is which yet.

    No, the Third element in this is the Civil Service. They have to go – and soon, if civilisation is to continueas “democratic.”

      The 4th is the voluntary sector. Who do little more than try to scare people for money. Money that mostly goes on perpetuating their own self-existence.

      Mind you, without the MSM, they are pretty screwed. The Guardian and BBC regurgitates their press releases without the slightest bit of critical thought.

    The least important section of our society is/are the poor sods (You and Me) at the bottom of the pile who pay all their wages.

    It couldn’t happen to a nicer group of people.
