He could've at least talked about the content of the leaks and not Julian Assange's lips.

The following link will take you to Max Hastings' bile-flecked rant about the "real" social divide in Britain - between taxpayers and the public sector. Don't read it if you work in the public sector and have, until now, been having a nice day. As I had.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/artic ... ctors.html

Labour voters almost to a man, we are, apparently. I've actually only once voted Labour, but I guess I must the the 'almost' bit. Same wilfully misleading stats about public vs private sector salaries, despite that being a big fat load of dinosaur testes.

Just fuck off Hastings, you gigantic glistening pulsating glans of a man.

I love the 'all public sector workers are Labour voters' myth. A friend of mine recently started training as a teacher and is as Tory as they come. Another has worked in the private sector ever since finishing school and is a card carrying socialist.

Does the word "apartheid" get used at any point in that article?

The members of the union in the civil service are so Labour they vote not to give any money to the party.

Max Hastings visits Afghanistan, almost certainly in a linen suit or a cricket jumper:

Quote:
It is a strange sensation, to gaze at close quarters on the swarthy, bearded faces of men who may be villagers, but may also be Taliban.  Some responded to smiles, but others stared back with what looked to me like frank antagonism.
 
Why won’t the brown people let me leer at them? They must be terrorists!
If Max Hastings showed up in my street to “gaze at close quarters”, he’d be lucky to escape with “frank antagonism”.

Bonus sub-editor racism: a photo showing a woman in a burqa riding a donkey is captioned “… the workings of the minds of the Afghan people, light years removed from ours.”

yrs ago this streak of piss would catch the london train from northampton, surrounded by admiring, c***struck commuters (this was immediately post-falklands, from which he emerged victorious).

around this time he wrote an anti-BR rant, accusing n'pton station staff of drinking tea in the comfort of a warm office, all the time laughing at the sad plight of commuters, delayed and cold on windswept platforms. a week after the piece appeared he was spotted boarding a london-bound train and ordered off by the guard - 'you wrote a pack of f***ing lies about us last week. either you get off or I do'.

how we laughed!

I wonder if hitler remembers this little incident. if not, he could pm me and we could re-live the old days. or maybe not, the twat.

Years of liberal dogma have spawned a generation of amoral, uneducated, welfare dependent, brutalised youngsters


One the one hand..... on the other hand there are no fucking jobs.... due to conservative mismanagement, handing the wealth over to the rich, and the argument goes on and on and on.

Scoring political points..... again and again and again....

Not all liberals hold that opinion. Not all right wingers are racist....

I find by pointing out that James Bulger was murdered by two boys who grew up until their committed crime entirely under the premiership of Thatcher, and that they were a product of her "Broken Britain", people who think that the liberal-left is the source for many wrong in the UK get a bit miffed.

It could be worth a start by dropping the word 'feral'. If you keep labelling a group of people as shit, subhuman, worthless, feral etc. you shouldn't be surprised if they react and fight back. Treat a person as a human being and you might get somewhere.

That was Major 8) ("A little less understanding and a little more disapproval" or something along those lines he said about the Bulger case).

My fault! Got dates mixed up. :oops: Still, under Conservative rule...

Agreed.

What a cunt! Whatever you think about the rioters de-humanizing them in this way isn't really helpful. I also bet his dogs don't describe to a "higher code of values"; they just do what he says because otherwise they get punished.

Standard right-wing hate talk. Dehumanise and demonise, then you can frame the debate in terms of the kids' failings and faults rather than the effects of policy and inequality. They all do it.

Absolutely, and, as predicted on another thread, whenever the state is admitted as a contributory factor it's "liberal values" and lefties that are to blame:
Quote:
The cause is years and years of government focus on inequality and unfairness. Inequality and unfairness in what people get out of society, that is. The real unfairness and inequality is in what people put in to society. People in private sector jobs, tradesmen, men and women in uniform put so much in, whilst crooks, professional benefit claimants, feckless parents, thieving politicians and other government hangers on take so much out.

Quote:
Yes! Something must be done, but by whom? This is clearly nothing to do with the govornment and it would be foolish to blame them; it's nothing to do with them if their citizens are poor, illiterate and "feral". Lets just blame the socialists, it's high time people realised how evil they all were anyway.
- Will, Leeds, 10/8/2011 1:52

Quote:
...and it continues under weak kneed Cameron, the unconservative liberal Tory leader.
- Jim, Soke of Peterborough Soviet EU, 10/8/2011 0:32

Looking at comments like these, I do sometimes wonder what sort of society would satisfy them. Would a fascist state which kicked out all the forrins, blacks and teh gayz, and removed itself from the EU still be too liberal for them?
