    The NYT about the failing brexit supporting ruling class

    Opinion | The Malign Incompetence of the British Ruling Class - The New York Times

    #2
    Good to see an article by a self proclaimed 'essayist' who may just have an axe to grind against what he calls. The British Ruling Class'.

    About | Pankaj Mishra

    Pankaj Mishra is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist. His books include “Age of Anger: A History of the Present,” “From the Ruins of Empire: The Intellectuals Who Remade Asia,” and “Temptations of the West: How to Be Modern in India, Pakistan, Tibet and Beyond.”

    His twitter feed is interesting. Very anti British Empire and the 'British Ruling Class'

    Sarcasm on a Friday morning

      So, are you saying that the current UK government is doing a wonderful job? You seem confused, in one thread you are going on about government not delivering the "will of the people", and in this one you are saying that no one should criticise the government.

      Make your mind up, you'll get dizzy spinning so much.
      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        No here I am just pointing out the bias of the author.

          Even Nigel Farage agrees the British ruling class is a failure!

          Do you really think the government is anything better than incompetent/corrupt?

            A lot of the reporting in the press is biased.

            The only sources I mostly trust are Ch4 News and R4 Today.

              Would you bring up the (perceived) bias of the author if it was a brexit supporter?

                  Thats the problem now. The two sides would argue over if the sun would rise in the morning.

                  We need Charlie Brooker. Bandersnatch. Everyone can have the Brexit ending they want....

                    It doesn't The Earth revolves around the Sun. The Sun does not 'rise' in the morning. That is just the perspective when viewed from any location on the Earth and an effect of the earth revolving on its axis as it rotates around the Sun. The duration which the sun illuminates a particular location on the planet, we call Earth, is related to the 'wobble' of the earth on its axis.
