“Harpymarx is one of only a few in the blogosphere today to actively condemn the type of thinking that has led to Purnell announce his regressive white paper.”
That’s because everybody else did it yesterday…
Today = yesterday until today at 10am, and there wasn’t any kind of condemnation of worth that I could see. Feel free to link to some articles that did.
The problem with condemning Mr Purnell today / yesterday is that, as with everything else from this vile government, he’s already announced it at least 73 times. So those of us with any sense of shame (ministers obviously excepted) don’t want to post the same condemnation daily and look so repetitive.
But I can offer the previous pick-axings to Mr Purnell’s loathsome midset from, er, me, and from my other half’s elephant:
