I don't like stereotypes but after reading these hysterical ramblings about an establishment of terror-sympathisers, female-chauvinists and (oddly) hippies, I can't help but imagine a paranoid neurotic, foaming at the mouth, clutching a weapon and muttering angrily to himself as he types from an underground bunker. Although this article is pretty old, congratulations to Professor Afshar! Try as I might, I struggle to see the relevance of Dan Taylor’s comment, either to the article or the post above.

It would certainly be my cue to announce the death and burial of Great Britain. We already have a self-flagelating establishment of hippies, female-chauvanists, terror sympathisers and anti-semites. Don't be so darn greedy! Yes. It would certainly be my cue to announce the death and burial of Great Britain.

So I looked her up on the net to see who she really is, and it seems I've missed out on one of the few sensible people in politics today. Perhaps she and George Galloway could be put in charge of running the country, and we might have a bit more humanity towards the rest of the world and towards the disadvantaged, and a bit less corporate greed and the rich looking after the rich.
