I just find them all very, very, stupid. All that witless banter revolts me. Maybe it's a cultural thing? The middle class seemm to use their humour as a drug, like opium. It's there to protect them from having to engage with the harshess of reality. It soothes and takes the edge off of things. Their servile role as servants of the powerful and the state. What's so terrible and dishonourable today is how easily they turn their 'wit' and mockery towards people lower down the social scale than they are. And now, their relentless, ghastly attacks on a defenceless and isolated individual held in a dungeon, being prepared for destruction for attempting to tell the truth about what's really going on around us, all in the name of freedom and democracy. These people at the Guardian are beneath contempt. They are the kind of vile thugs who would have made jokes about Jews needing a shower cramed into cattle trucks one their way to the death camps or helpless witches being burned at the stake. What's depressing is how difficult and how few people in public life have the guts or opportunity to take these awful swine on and give them some counter humour!
