No doubt on Abbott's ascendancy you laughed in condescencion across the dining table with the clots who share your shit. Now, in week when the Government has reached the political depths, you can only attack the Opposition. I writhe in pleasure at your evident discomfiture. But the give away of your dirty hubris was your ugly reference to the common people. While I have no faith in your purile newspaper - I only read it because of the article on the retirement of a local politician who I respect and have known for 35 years - I did not think its pages would ever stench of the fascism conveyed in your article. You should have faith in the 'ordinary people' and a course in democratic theory. Fie on you!
