A.C. Grayling is still smarting after his performance on this week's This Week. The philosopher has now tweeted:
One of Andrew Neil's former colleagues on The Daily Politics, Giles Dilnot, has provided a succinct paraphrase:
Giles then added:
If only we had a present-day Molière to write a new play about the great man. Le professeur déraisonnable perhaps?
New play?
ReplyDeleteWell,there's: 'Le Philosophe Imaginaire' & 'Les Professeurs Ridicules,' or 'Le Clown Malgré Lui'.
I think both Grayling & John Simpson are classic examples of the dangers of living in a liberal/left Guardian/BBC bubble where one's views are never challenged & there is simply no need to justify one's views.
I've spotted a connection between three of the more "deranged" Remainiacs. Matthew Parris, AC Grayling and Lord Adonis all have strong colonial connections (Kenya, Rhodesia and Cyprus). Maybe the death of Empire created a kind of identity crisis that led them to become overattached to the EU?
ReplyDeleteThink you're on to something MB: Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, the worst of the lot, was a Ugandan Asian!
