What is it with politicians and the blogosphere?
Is it that they don’t like the idea of people having opinions that are not state sanctioned? It is that they don’t like the idea of people using technology to point out what tits our rulers are? Or it it just sour grapes after having some of the cash troughs removed in the House of Commons?
Whatever the reason, Paul Flynn demonstrates what a total cock he is with this comment in a Telegraph piece about the proposed process for e-petitions to become debating bills (emphasis mine):
The idea was ridiculed by Paul Flynn, a Labour member of the Commons Public Administration Committee.
“This seems to be an attractive idea to those who haven’t seen how useless this has been in other parts of the world when it’s tried. If you ask people the question ‘do you want to pay less tax?’, they vote yes,” he said.
“If we get the e-petitions in there will be some asking for Jeremy Clarkson to be prime minister, for Jedi and Darth Vader to be the religions of the country.
“The blogosphere is not an area that is open to sensible debate; it is dominated by the obsessed and the fanatical and we will get crazy ideas coming forward.“
Yes, you shit, everyone but the serially deranged (MP’s in other words) would vote for less money being stolen from their pockets by the government to piss up the wall on nanny state bollocks.
Crazy ideas?
Or, is that just the ideas you find unacceptable to your big state socialist ideology?
The man is a twat in the company of twats!
