From a Guardian perspective, even the Telegraph is Hard Right!
That article from the Guardian is 3 years old, it has evolved and quite brilliantly, let me explain. It is no longer about ‘hard right’ but about ‘anti left’. Spiked is a diffuser, a balancer of news. Bad news in the press about tory corruption, run a story on Labour corruption. You get the picture.
But, this is the amazingly clever bit, its readers trust their writings and repost their stories, people who believe themselves to be free thinking and wide reading, in many cases cast themselves as Libertarians or even old skool Liberals, people who do not class themselves as conservatives and many have never voted for the conservatives. The truth is these people are keeping a conservative government in power, they are a ground force operation and the best bit is not one of them realise they even signed up. Why do you think these people fund them. The irony of it all is astounding.
I told you it had evolved.
