Peter Hitchens found his niche at the Daily Mail.
The archetypical bandwagon jumper, so many things are incorrect or skewed in that piece. The simple fact that C'mon used him as an argument should be clanging alarm bells. It's a typical rabble rousing Daily Mail invective.
As an example, look at his first paragraph 'How long does it take for the penny to drop? It is amazing how slow voters have been to see that the two major parties have been stolen from them, and are now their enemies'
Answer...for most of us the penny dropped a long while before he wrote this piece, hence the drop in people voting for the past 20 years..just where has he been living?
Don't forget this is the guy who said that sex education was responsible for teenage pregnancy and STD's....  |
I wasn't using him to advance my evidence of anything.
C'mon posted something which was obviously not his own work....I posted the link so that people could read the article in context.
My next post was to say that many of us on here had come to the same conclusion well before this man had written the article.......my point was that the political parties.......all the main ones anyway, have little respect for either the electorate, or for that matter democracy.
I do not need Peter Hitchen to evidence my thoughts. I have eyes, I have a brain.....my eyes are dimming a bit, but my brain is as sharp as it ever was(or so I am told).
