The 'X Factor'
I have just read my early morning copy of the Daily Mail, yes I know, but I do not mind revealing the source, am I to be arrested.
What is my point. We have a Prime Minister who as chancellor paid for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who now seems to be able to send letters to the finalists in the 'X Factor' yet we are told that he knew nothing about the arrest of Mr Green until it had happened.
Why does he do it, he names the dead soldiers every week, bar one, yet what are we to make of this man. Are the soldiers no different to the contestants in a light entertainment competition. Why does he allow himself to be demeaned.
What does he think, that somehow a vote for the 'X Factor' is a vote for him. I pointed out earlier in comments when referring to John Sargent that surely it can be seen that voting come election time, if there is an election, will be like people voting in a beauty contest, or a talent show, oh this is just so sad.
I have absolutely no compassion for a man who keeps referring to being a son of the Manse, of a man who, to this commentator anyway, shares our pain. I know that he has lost his own daughter, sad, but my compassion does not extend to emotional blackmail, that I think I know when I am being manipulated.
