There is nothing so insane that the amoral fucks that populate our media and establishment won't pretend it's sensible and good if it serves their ends.

Oxford's got it all. Some days you see a man with a handful of snakes, some days you help a confused elderly Carribean lady find her way back to her flat after she falls over in the street.

This is why I keep saying things like “it was unbelievably stupid to turn to the extremely racist far right for authoritative judgements on what is and is not bigoted and unacceptable”. Which is what Britain did, because it was so helpful in stamping out the anti-austerity movement.

A tiny self-selecting clique inside politics and media who have relentlessly egged each other on to get nastier, more cruel and more extreme, able to steamroller the public because they are holding all the microphones, mobbing to stomp all over anybody who said this was bad stuff and it should stop.

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.
