Polly Toynbee, Guardian columnist and scold, my have many reasons to lambaste John Hutton, he is afterall a politician, however her latest comments continue to rather expose:
While half the cabinet is trying to strengthen communitarian feelings of Britishness and endeavour, Hutton celebrates people "as individuals not as part of a collective".
This is really what it all comes down to in regards to positions on many topics, individualism vs. collectivism (undoubtedly in the dreams of most leftists, forced collectivism ...... for your own good mind you).
Individual efforts, individual merit, individual thought, individual rights, individual actions and responsibilities are the conerstones of any free and prosperous society.
Collectivism, statism, communism (whatever one calls submission to the 'greater good' of the collective) are all feathers of the same bird and lead to nothing but privation, economic retardation, and a truly miserable existence.
Before it is too late, as a proud individual I hereby vote myself out of the fantastical charade which is championed by Ms. Toynbee and her fellow collectivists.
