Funny how our society talks about the evils of elitism and yet relish the massive celebration of elitism which is the olympics. Elite people profiting from the circus, elite athletes competing where the best generally reach the top by way of increased funding and elite zil lanes positively celebrated by olympic supporters.
I had the misfortune to accidentally tune into the nursing home show, sorry the one show on the mogodan channel last night where Chris Evans and every studio technician hissed and booed a sensible woman who found herself in the position of exposing the hypocricy of this circus.
It reminded me of BBC radio valium, sorry BBC radio Kent's coverage of the torch relay. Hyped up broadcasters doing their best to sound exited by the spectacle of someone carrying a cornetto aloft down various high streets. Awful, awful, awful.
Also interesting to note Julia George's phone-in show the other day where the usual nursing home regulars were encouraged to phone in to support the hype and were patronised and patted on the back for agreeing with the general consensus at the station whereas detractors were made to sound quite odd.
