Still, one has to admire the way in which Lefties have captured the word “fair”. Any reduction of state spending must, by definition, mainly affect those who draw income from the state, just as any tax-cut must, by definition, favour those who are paying tax. Therefore, by a brilliant semantic shift, it is “unfair” not to carry on expanding the state forever.
Abso-fucking-lutely. The same is true with the word progressive, as I seem to endlessly be banging on about. To be "progressive" and "fair" in the language of modern Britain seems to require a commitment to state-expansion. Even though there is nothing progressive or fair about that expansion; it simply leads to the slow strangulation of freedom and responsibility in this country.

Erm, there's no real comment policy other than "don't libel anyone" and "don't use the comment section to try to sell your products". If you do either, I will delete the comments without warning. Otherwise, you can pretty much write what you want.
