Tory Know Nothings Threaten Average Britons' Allottments


Public school twits who are trying to bomb the UK back to 1750 (even Maggie Thatcher seems progressive in her utlitarianism, by contrast) have a new idea up their sleeves: sell off allotments.

If you're reading this in the USA you might not be aware of this very enlightened idea, that ordinary people can farm vegetables and fruit and flowers on public land. Where I grew up the allotments were near Wimbledon Station. All my relatives have them.

These guys haven't even heard of Thomas Malthus or Jeremy Bentham. Gradgrindian industrialism, even Jane Austen's brand of Toryism, seem like things of the future compared to these dunderheaded, talentless panderers to big money and the aristocracy. Way to party like it's 1749...

Stop them now.

  1. Something to bear in mind as Britain goes to the polls on thursday for local elections and of course this kind of stuff is only possible with the Liberal Democrats cementing this right wing coalition in government
