The Internet: The Elites’ Least Favorite Suppository
Posted on | August 20, 2010 | 2 Comments
by Smitty
Our favorite Limey, Daniel Hannan notes the following, emphasis mine:
The Internet, as Douglas Carswell argues, is ironing out a kink in our cultural and political alignment, whereby a small elite artificially reoriented our foreign policy, our trade and even our news cycle away from our old alliances and towards Europe. That’s the great thing about the web (or, from a Europhile perspective, the disagreeable thing): it democratises.
Pesky internet giving people tools to force leaders to [NSFW] represent*. Someone should write a book on that.
*Linking Hannan and Kornfeld in the same post for the broadest possible spectrum of English.
