I note that the Far Right blog community are very upset with me tonight and are visiting this site in droves.
The want to defend their friends in the Tax Payer's Alliance, about whom I have written.
As usual they're doing so by offering abuse. You should see some of the stuff I'm deleting!
It seems they're incredibly upset that I lumped some of them (the libertarians) with the Neo-Cons. The anguish is loud and long! How could I do such a thing?
The answer is simple. I care as little about the difference between these groups as I do about the difference between the Socialist Worker's Party and the Socialist Party of Great Britain. Put simply, the far Right, the Tax Payer's Alliance and the far Left are all irrelevant to the needs of the people of this country.
Which is why I block almost all of the comments from either such extreme.
Thanks for reading this post.

[…] response was uncalled for. And, as is the case with human nature, when one has behaved badly, one tends to justify it by digging in deeper – in this case with a “note to the far right”. Except […]
I’m pretty sure no-one’s asking you to care, Mr Murphy. All they ask is a basic minimum of accuracy.
For example, I don’t “care” whether you advocate a higher tax rate of 40%, 50% or 98%. But if I claimed the latter when your position is actually the former, you’d tell me I didn’t know what I was talking about. And you’d be correct.

If it appeases you, I’ll apologise for my casual indifference towards the ideological nuances of the Far Right.
It is howver an indifference that I am sure many would share. More than that, I’ll go so far as to say that well over 90% of the supporters of the TPA would have no idea if it is libertarian, NeoCon or some other flavaour of anti-society extreme.
And it’s that threat to society that does worry me, and many others.
It’s also notable that not even the Tories think that any one of you have made a case for tax cuts right now.
Why is that, I wonder? Could it be that there is no logic to your arguments, no support for your ideology and no democratic prospect of them ever holding sway?
I rest my case.
