Is Polly Toynbee mad?
For some time now, I've wondered if Polly Toynbee had a touch of the full moon about her. With Marie Antoinette-style disregard for those affected by recession, she today declares that:
"Even if unemployment reaches 3 million, that still leaves 90% in secure jobs. Most people will suffer not at all in this recession".
Back in March 2005, Polly was, in the view of some people, maybe just a little unfair in the way she represented something my friend, Danny Kruger said.
What would Polly be writing today about any Conservative who suggested, as she does, that this recession is nothing much to worry about?
Final thought, before blogging came along, we had to listen to people like Polly pontificate on the BBC and the leftist media. And there was little we could do. Not any more, Polly. Not any more....
