   Is this post alluding to a piece of crap posted by Ex Millie Chris Dillow at his ever so stupid and ignorant econometrics site of garbage?

   Chris Dillow likes to play the controversialist at times and say something silly. He started the post in question by actually praising something deeply illiberal before turning to so called ‘classical liberals’ — eg — thick fuckers. Then there are the links - Devil’s Kitchen - fucking hell. One of the least intellectually coherent sites I have ever avoided reading. But maybe Dillow does have a point. I mean, come on. I’m so soft on capitalism mesell, deeply uncritical even. And the respect for the ‘upper’ classes that permeates all of my writing — well that’s just self evident for all to see is it not? Obviously I’m just a posing pseudo leftie whose real desire is to drink cocktails at polite dinner parties in Islington and secretly vote Tory.

   Dillow (Stumbling and pathetically Mumbling) what a tosspot. Went to Oxbridge and thought he was clever.Now he earns a packet for the ‘man’ and himself. Note for Dillow — that proves nothing about your intellectuality you fucking dipshit.

   God this Dillow fella is a thick cretin. Very liberal place that Devil’s Kitchen. The mumbler has even been daft enough to provide us with an explanation:

   ‘This is where an Oxford education prepares one for success… The tutorial system kills humility. It teaches people how to appear to be smarter than they are - which is great preparation for politics. And it fosters in its students an exaggerated confidence in their own ability’

   Didn’t spend a lot of time looking at the toss, but there were two barefaced lies - of the brass-necked Stalin school of falsifaction variety.

   Aren’t you mistaking me for Chris Hitchens?

   You seem to be having some difficulty in reading and comprehension at the moment — please adjust your receiver.

   No. I was more trying to point out that Jesus was probably a bit more easy going than most Christians.

   And for the record I find Chris Dillow an interesting voice and well worth reading. Even if he is wrong in that post.

   I thought perhaps that was the sign outside Our Maddy’s new church…
