“Fun bit of political activism from the first blogger to make a UK MP resign.”
The problems I have with Staines/Fawkes are:
- Pointless anonymity – if you’ve got a point to make, then make it. Don’t hide behind a pseudonym. Especially with the ego-fellatio that went on with sitting in shadow and keeping his identity secret while being on Newsnight.
- You’re not really a whistle blower if you work for the other side. Wonder what he’ll do when the Tories get back in. This kind of Political agenda-wankery just bores the shite out of me. I’ve yet to see him dog the shit out of a Tory but am willing to be proved wrong here.
- I’m yet to meet a card carrying preaching Libertarian that I didn’t think was an arsehole. This is not to say they all are arseholes. Just most of them. And yes, there are shades of grey but for the most part, the movement attracts wankers.
To be honest, I think most politicians are arseholes and wholly unsuited to running a country.
