A Bit Of Common Sense

By Paul Homewood

A rather pertinent letter in the Sunday Telegraph yesterday:

SIR – Con Coughlin asks how the Government could leave us so exposed to Putin’s threat.

The answer is that the primary purposes of all departments of state are now made secondary to other aims. Energy production is secondary to ecological priorities. Education is secondary to the political agenda of the Blob.

Transport is about HS2 vanity projects, not helping solve the rail chaos suffered by millions daily. Law and order is secondary to fear and favouring cultural sensitivities. Actual defence is a very secondary issue for the Ministry of Defence apparatchiks.

Virtue-signalling is the main concern of post-Blair governance, and the public is starting to suffer the consequences of this tendency to prioritise activists over the common-sense majority.
