Cameron goes native

Michael Winning

Well it didnt take long did it, Cameron decided that the interests (of him) of government lay best if directed towards schmooxing up to the Europower Elite.

Janet Daley notes there that what John Major, of fond memory, called the “bastards”, that is, the MPs that tried to hold him and the government accountable to epople’s dislike of the treaty of Maastricht and other such stuff,have now gone mainstream. In an increasingly raging torrent, the longer you hold on, the more violent will be your end when you finally get torn off your bush.

Thoughts on Emma West:
How to Argue with the Ruling Class
by Sean Gabb

One of the ways in which a ruling class keeps control is its insistence on rules of debate that place opposition at a regular disadvantage. I cannot think of any time or place where opposition voices have been listened to on fully equal terms. In modern England, however, the ruling class and its various clients and useful idiots are particularly rigid in their shepherding of debate. This is so not only because England is an increasingly totalitarian place, but also because the main legitimation ideologies are all obviously false and cannot be exposed to open criticism. Therefore, while speech mostly remains free in the legal sense, it will only be listened to when expressed in terms that privilege the ruling class.
