Wow thats a prejudicial diatribe of someone you have there, and from such a supposedly award winning journalist ? (though gongs are for the ego’d entrant). I think ending the peice with he is a “diseased and damaged man” shows a lack restraint and excesive venom. Agreed . . . please hari shock troops do not tweet such pointless regurgitaion hari praise comments for the sake of it, all this noise is noise but tweets are the reflex action of the corpse of commentary ie me too !
Suicide or injury is never a good subject for humour except by those with a lack of imagination. Btw white people, since you seem to be deeming this a skin issue ? did experience such a lack of “elf n safety” : it was called the industrial revolution ? but the people who were writers such as yourself, at that time were late to pick up on the suffering of the poor labouring classes and their early deaths, except as a form of literary entertainment for others, much as most journalism though in disguise, still is today, ie that disconnection within reporting and the action of something being done about it, which remains an essential but slow drip effect. Your quick to find reasons, to arrogantly put white people at fault ? of course. Rather than say recognising that western culture doesnt just contain white people ? And that much consumerism doesnt just occur in western cultures ? we need more sophisticated viewpoints here, humans are the problem and were all inescapably one of them.
Or Rather recognising Chinas self volition, in proactively say, trying to gainfully employ and feed its 20 x larger population of 1.3 billion compared to our tiny UK population of 0.065 billion. You may percieve Nike and Microsoft as representing western populations, I personally see them as representing the shareholder classes. Out of interest where do your statistics come from ? I assume severed in your definition means cut off completely, or does it mean cut ? you appear to reference your own article ? in which you state 50,000 a month ? not 33,000 a day ? the use of emotive words and a lack of quality references aids the draw of diatribe but not its accuracy. But then being an intellectual predator of your measured calibre, its easy look down the food chain and see lunch, sadly you need to pick bigger targets to grow. Littlejohn is not a worthy target for you :) Adam Curtis would expect more of you.
