Labour MP Paul Flynn reveals his authoritarian credentials today in an interview on Radio 4's Today program. The idea that the public could put forward proposals for new laws to be debated in Parliament would, according to Flynn, lead to crazy ideas coming forward from "the obsessed and the fanatical" blogosphere.
Are all of your constituents bloggers Paul? I don't think they are and yet you would deny them the chance to have their voice heard above the boring drone that you emit. Why are you so scared to let the people, the people who you are supposed to represent, have a say in what parliament debates? Is it maybe that we don't have the same tribal party loyalty needed to get selected for election that MPs do and we don't toe any party line? Or maybe it will highlight that there is little difference between the Coagulation policies and the Liebor policies and, in fact, the majority of people don't actually want what you politicians want.
Maybe us little people have no idea what we really want, can't understand intelligent debate (well after your lot were in charge for the last 13 years who's fault is that anyway?), couldn't possibly think for ourselves? Or maybe you think you are too important to listen to us?
Go fuck yourself sideways Paul.

Is that odious little Gandalf wannabe still going? I commented on his blog once, got a snide response, promised never to comment again and have kept that promise.
He's pure Labour, that one. Talks 'equality' but demands superiority.
A remarkably unpleasant individual.
Not long now before the Grim Reaper knocks on Flynn's door, the old libelist has already had a stroke so I'm looking forward to a by-election in Newport West next year.
Well yes, bashing bloggers generally is fair enough, but what goes for bloggers goes for people who write letters to newspapers, start petitions, hand out leaflets in the shopping centre, turn up to Saturday surgery with their MPs and so on.
I would not for one second dismiss the broad category of "people who write to newspapers or their MPs", so why pick on bloggers? I mean, most people are idiots, and the fact that 99% of bloggers are idiots makes them no worse than the people who write to newspapers, 99% of whom are idiots
Or indeed any different from MPs, 99% of whom are idiots as well (name more than 6 sane ones and prove me wrong!).

Sorry. Courvoisier, reduced price in Tesco.
