A national tragedy

The short-term memory loss inflicted on so many people by socialism.

Thus Chris Addison on *Mock the Week:

Big Society? But we can't run things - we're hopeless. We just accidentally elected a Conservative government!

Sad, how a pretty (sic) witty young comedian should have forgotten so quickly the two biggest things to happen in politics since he attained the age of reason:

• the national damage on so many fronts wrought by Britain's most venal, vain, vicious, incompetent, ignorant and - in short - dangerous government ever
• the directly-consequent elimination of Labour as an electoral contender for the foreseeable future

And the subsequent election of a government of educated adults is an unfortunate 'accident'?

Only in a tiny Labour mind like yours, Chris, dear, and of course to some of the more noisome noisy, Left-indoctrinated habituated audience. Even your colleague Russell Howard (not a Tory, I would venture) noted that the audience thought for a mo before deciding 'That's the sort of thing we ought to applaud'- did you catch that?

You see what socialism does to a even a lively mind, dear reader? Avoid it at all costs, and move heaven and earth to protect your children from contamination.

*Why do I bother? In a word, Hewed Ennis. All right, two words. Tsk. Some people.
