This blog generally stays out of politics, but may I, nonetheless, direct the gentle reader’s attention to an address to the nation by Jeremy Hunt, Secretary of State for Culture, and, more especially, to the splendid responses from various members of the public that appear below the article?
Hooray for democracy, says I!

I am very glad that you have drawn our attention to this nauseating little piece and its immediate responses. I second you in praising democracy–what is left of it.

I don’t know, I think we should get rid of democracy. The sooner it’s gone, the sooner people will remember why it was important, and we’ll fight back hard for it again.
