In somewhat lighter (though still somwhat sinister) news; from the "anti-imperialist" rag, The Morning Star, comes this twaddle:

As democratic as Mr Gaddafi

You really have to give Prime Minister David Cameron big brownie points for sheer unmitigated cheek and an arrogance that seemingly knows no limits.

His coalition is at present making tut-tutting noises at the Libyan government for being anti-democratic, unresponsive to public opinion and pressure and continuing to prosecute its own agenda regardless of the feelings of its population.

At the same time, however, his cobbled-together coalition is proceeding blithely on its own course, attempting to wreck the welfare state, sell off anything that moves and bury anything that doesn't.

But the Con-Dem coalition has about as much of a mandate to do this as Muammar Gaddafi's minions had to cut loose with guns on the Libyan protesters.

And, while that comparison may seem a little over the top, it should be remembered that Mr Cameron's offensive on the welfare state, encompassing as it does attacks on the National Health Service and the whole range of public services to people at risk, could easily cost lives and will likely result in the destruction of many people's wellbeing.

You have to feel sorry for people who are so blinded by their dogma and Western masochism that they legitimately cannot tell the difference between an elected government in a liberal parliamentary democracy and a brutally repressive military dictator who has had his jackboot on the throat of the Libyan people for 42 years now. Who are so deluded that budget cuts (whether you agree with them or not), in a time of recession, are comparable to hundreds of unarmed protesters being massacred in the streets, and orders to increase tuition fees are comparable to orders given to fighter pilots to strafe and bomb Libyans in the streets.

An article written with the arrogant certainty of a Bethnal Green-living, Shoreditch-partying, Che T-Shirt-wearing, unemployed, dole-claiming, student-dropout, SWP-card-carrying, George Galloway worshipping twat, who got shoved by a "pig" at the student protests and who now thinks that "the mask has come off" and this British "fascist police state" has now "revealed itself."
