But the mail is in fact not right wing it is shite wing. A crap newspaper; indeed as are most of them - the Telegraph is no better. <br />Journalism seems to be the ideal profession for the ignorant and thick.<br /><br />And second again its no wonder that politicians are afraid to say anything remotely expressive or 'dangerous'. Opponents can be expected to misrepresent and newspapers, far more interested in headlines and circulation will happily jump on the bandwagon.<br /><br />One wonders what the likes of Richard Littlejohn thinks about the Mails hatchet job. Redwoods full comments are certainly what he would be agreeing with. But does he care about the useless, celebrity obsessed, paper he writes for? No he just shrugs and takes the money. No wonder our press is so crap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881762807913180318.post-67445328335593208282010-06-25T09:14:07.512+01:002010-06-25T09:14:07.512+01:00Sunny,

It is obvious when reading through his post that he is drawing an analogy. You appear to be seeing what you expect to see from an "out of touch" Tory rather than what he actually said.<br /><br />If someone misrepresented your words in the way you have done here you would be rightly very annoyed and I would be the first to defend you.<br /><br />There is a debate to be had about whether his analogy is right and whether we can compare household level activity with state level activity but I am sorry to say that your post is a distraction from that rather than an aid.<br /><br />Mark.Mark Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00744387583593537268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881762807913180318.post-67947226360339442422010-06-25T08:13:39.793+01:002010-06-25T08:13:39.793+01:00Sunny either doesn't understand the concept of...Sunny either doesn't understand the concept of an analogy, or his brain is so hard wired to see wicked Tories everywhere that he can't see it, or he could be too proud to admit he grabbed the wrong end of the stick.<br /><br />Take your pick.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06281774364328639103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881762807913180318.post-59033068893493655902010-06-25T02:26:21.208+01:002010-06-25T02:26:21.208+01:00Mark,

People can read and make their own judgements.<br /><br />The idea that some of these cuts can only be dealt with by turning down the heating or buying some vegetables is bloody offensive to a lot of people. People who will be turfed out of where they live. People who might die of cold in the winter. People who will end up cutting back on food for their kids (and affect their health and studies).<br /><br />It's the kind of attitude that Tories have always had in this country - '<i>I'm allright Jack, these proles should stop whining and get on their bikes</i>'.<br /><br />I'm staggered that some people don't see the obvious.<br /><br />I guess it's a matter of opinion. I just don't see it as innocuously as you do.Sunny Hhttp://liberalconspiracy.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881762807913180318.post-68111836825903278582010-06-25T01:11:29.125+01:002010-06-25T01:11:29.125+01:00Sadly both the Mail and the Telegraph are full of ...Sadly both the Mail and the Telegraph are full of twisted opinion dressed up as 'news'. <br /><br />It makes me miss the Times, although I'm still not going to <a href="http://order-order.com/2010/06/24/the-paywall-of-death/" rel="nofollow">pay</a>.The Managementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12096318663704341944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881762807913180318.post-8884453290626813552010-06-24T23:55:34.456+01:002010-06-24T23:55:34.456+01:00Is Sunny Hundal all right?
