OH, Peter Elliot is a card, having read his latest rambling response to a letter I managed to slot in between right-wing moaning minnies.

It must have taken Peter some effort to respond to only half my letter taking 206 words to do so.

Then the cowardly and, may I say, seemingly nutty anonymous right-wing online trolls take to the web to stick their bovver boots in with their own unique style of poisonous abuse.

This kind of behaviour is important as it is familiar to that used by bullies to drown out detractors from their often right-wing agendas.

For people to state that the Tory media or inaccurate polling does not have an impact in politics is complete nonsense.

Today, 80 per cent of the UK press is owned by five companies or individuals. Why else would they spend fortunes employing political commentators to vilify the opponents to corporate Britain and global capitalism?

They have even previously boasted of their influence... “It’s The Sun Wot Won It.”

Hegemony rules okay and as the saying goes... “If voting made any difference they wouldn’t let us do it.”
