The Sun has published yet another compelling argument for voting against the militant mingers of the Labour and Lib Dem parties. One of the pictured Page Three women is quoted as saying:
The basis of Lockean thought is his theory of the Contract of Government, under which all political power is a trust for the benefit of the people. His thinking underpins our ideas of national identity and society. Please don't let those who seek to ban our beauty win.
It's a serious point. As Kurt Vonnegut memorably dramatised in 'Harrison Bergeron', one of the short stories published in his 1968 book Welcome to the Monkey House, the Labour Party ideal of social equality can only be achieved by denying the intelligent, athletic and beautiful members of society the right to benefit from their good fortune.
In the story, the levelling down is directed by Handicapper General Diana Moon-Glampers. In Britain it as been directed by Arch-Minger Harriet Harperson. Hence her party's embrace of primitive, bigoted Muslims who force their women to bear full-body bags and who sell their votes.
Very progressive.
