We’re cheering on a football crowd with AK-47s, who could be worse than Gaddafi
1st September 2011
Peter Hitchens (Christopher’s sane brother) gets a nomination to be a Patron Saint of Dyspepsia.
The moment has come to admit that I loathe the Arab Spring and almost everything about it.
It looks to me pretty much like a football crowd armed with AK-47s and bazookas, with the added ingredient of Islamic militancy. Why am I expected to like it?
For we are all supposed to approve of it. Every media outlet, every politician, every church pulpit, treats it as an unmixed Good Thing.
Not me. I look at these wild characters in baseball caps and tracksuit bottoms blasting ammunition into the sky (often killing or injuring innocents far away, but they don’t care) and I am mainly thankful that they are a long way off.
So of course he must be a raaaaacist.
