Do you mind if I submit a 'Ritchie' quote: "Paul is right: libertariansim is a threat There’s no chance it can have electoral traction – but it drives the Daily Mail and Taxpayer’s Alliance and that’s poisonous enough. It is a cancer undermining society and we need to challenge it." The Daily Mail is libertarian?!

Well, Mr. Murphy, I’ll have you know I stopped being a thug long ago.

It played havoc with my manicure.

Murphy is becoming more oracular every day….take this sentence:

Rationality is imposed justificiation for action, not the cource of it

and try to detect any meaning whatsoever in it.

If he calls us thuggish again then I say we break his legs to teach some respect!

I disagree about mocking Ritchie. I think he’s like child pornography: he provides confirmation to other hateful people that their views are shared by others and are therefore “normal”.

To equal the intellectual content of one of Murphy’s utterances I have a simple strategy: 1) eat a highly fibrous meal 2) take 4 tbsp of Milk of Magnesia 3) take the next day off.

Murphy does not seem to understand that it is not the “power of his ideals” which is the big draw to the TR-UK website. It is the lamp-post scratching entertainment value of his “ideals” which sustains TR-UK readership.
