The anti-leftie/liberal rant machine that is Cranmer continues to function. I'm not a lawyer, so I can't really go into too much detail on this post, but I have one question, as the author of a blog trying to counter right-wing slander. Cranmer says, after detailing the cases of some whistle blowers in relation to the EU, "such tends to be the abuse of power exercised by all authoritarian socialist unions". What I take issue with here is the use of the term socialist in this little tirade. Why is repression of whistle blowers a left-wing, socialist thing? I'm fairly sure, I just don't have the time, that I could find a zillion and one abuses of whistle blowers and other people under authoritarian right-wing regimes (one in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s springs to mind). Why do people have to turn a perfectly reasonable article describing some recent trend into a tirade against lefties without any obvious justification for it?
