Peter Oborne's column on
morality in the UK and the striking similarities between corruption at the top
of society and vandalism at the bottom was dramatic, dynamic and daring.
He looked more like a moral philosopher than a conservative member
of the press corps in his scathing condemnation of the PM and Parliamentarians.
It was refreshing to see someone take the moral high ground, although I am sure
he made no friends in Whitehall by so doing. He seems to have committed a
Heffer. The parallel between social ills in the UK and the USA is
frightening.
Talk show hosts here predict our time will come with vandals
in our streets. That our politicians are also highly corrupted needs not be
mentioned, as it is taken as a given. The thrust of this prediction is that vandals
in the UK are the product of socialism. Under Obama, the US is also going
socialist.
Hence, our youth will be virtually wards of the state in their
dependencies on government aid for food, housing and welfare. Having nothing to
do, and no sense of responsibility whatsoever, they will begin to riot and burn
and loot. This pedestrian view of UK history and Western sociology
captivates the public.
No wonder they want someone like Bachman or Perry to
lead them into the fray.
