Vitriol

The Gorse Fox sits and shakes his head in a mixture of amusement and despair. Thanks to Guido Fawkes he was lead to this article (from Luke Bozier), the best quotes from which I extract below:

Labour currently stands for one thing: halting the cuts to the public sector. We have in effect become the party of the public sector. As important as the public sector is, it only represents a portion of society, and is not a panacea for all of society's ills as many in the Labour Party mistakenly believe.

and

The civil rights movement was an 11-year long struggle to ban racial segregation against black Americans. People died because of the cause they were fighting for; equality based on skin colour. The coalition's cuts will close some libraries and re-allocate state resources in different ways, it is partly aimed at reducing the deficit and partly out of a desire to change the way the state works in the 21st century.

Well given that this was published in a Labour blog, the Gorse Fox was a little surprised at first - but as he started to read the comments and saw the vitriol and invective cast upon this guy's perfect right to express an opinion his amusement turned toward despair.

In summary - give me wealthy, money-grabbing, wealth-creating polite people rather than nasty, vicious, bullies and pseudo-intellectual thugs that infest that forum / blog / and party.
