⦠all those people who got so terrible sniffy about this blog, when we started warning
of a revolution. But now the
Failygraph is coming to the same conclusion, are we now permitted
to discuss such things?
The interesting thing is that we are self-evidently in a
pre-revolutionary situation but, despite the
long-standing violence, there is
no real evidence of an incipient revolution.
As we
remarked recently, the equipment and tactics for dealing with street disorder are such that it is difficult for a crowd to prevail. Thus, we concluded, talk of an uprising may be premature, and even without substance. More to the point, possibly, there is no ideology which can motivate and unify the opposition.
However, since the great
Failygraph has spoken, I suppose we must defer to their greater wisdom, although one does wonder (
above). If this is what the EU is bringing us to, why is it that the paper wants us to stay in? What is this great "compromise" that it has in mind?
