THE LAST DITCH

How long can they tolerate Web 2.00?

Editorial: In praise of … Beatrice Webb | Comment is free | The Guardian.

The editorial is truly bizarre (though, sadly, the odious Stalinist Webbs are also memorialised at the otherwise respectable London School of Economics) but the comments are wonderful. Web 2.00 is a marvel and one wonders how long the powers that be can tolerate having their tame poodles humiliated this way in public.

One also has to wonder who the Guardianistas really are, when you consider the vile nature of their heroes. Do read all the comments. They are superb.

    The Guardian writers really do not seem to be in tune with their online readership, do they?
    In a similar vein, have you seen the 440-odd (as of just now) almost fully negative responses to the stunningly wrong-headed piece by Victoria Brittain entitled “Abu Qatada has rights too – Casual racism underlies the decision to deport a man who has never been charged with a crime on the basis of secret evidence”?
    Her supposed argument is utterly destroyed by >90% of the comments. It’s a delight.

Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.
