Max Mosley. Hugh Grant. Steve Coogan. How can men like this pose as our new moral arbiters?
Isn't that just delicious? And this coming from Melanie Phillips. Yes, I know that irony metres all over the world have been shattering into millions of pieces. Here is a vile hag of a woman with the most deeply unpleasant views on just about everything - daring to criticise others for being 'moral arbiters'.

| Moral vacuum - Melanie Phillips |
What is most ridiculous about this commentary is that none of these men are guilty of setting themselves up as moral arbiters. The only person involved who does so on a regular basis is Phillips herself. I know that there is some difficulty criticising someone else's morals in a piece about moral arbitration, but I happily give myself permission in this case. Just read what she believes in - this Wikipedia article should do the trick - and you will see what I mean about the moral vacuum that is Melanie Phillips. I know I shouldn't be surprised. After all, slimy tabloid hacks like her do this sort of thing all the time. When your day to day profession is ruining peoples' lives in a completely unaccountable manner, how can you not fail to see the speck in others' eyes and miss the log in your own? Moral arbiters they are. Moral, they are not. The sooner Phillips and her ilk take their leave from British culture, the better.

| Irony metre about to exceed maximum possible reading - take cover! |
Surely MP can be regarded as the greatest Poe troll of all time. We just write the odd troll comment to the Daily Mail, but she gets a whole page! Her views are so fractally wrong on just about every subject that she can't be real. I can just see her having a good laugh with her liberal friends about how she's taken us for another ridiculous ride.
ReplyDeleteHer wrongness on any issue is confirmed by the fact she is wrong on every issue. How can someone be so diametrically opposed to compassion and reason? She manages it every time. Her views on the middle east are as barf-able as one could imagine - old fashioned Zionism with a sub-human view of the Palestinians. Pass me the sick-bag.
