One very small reason for subscribing to you - much, much less important than to support one of the few voices which the media permits to be raised in opposition to the madness of the elites - is that I enjoy watching a certain former Times columnist splutter in fury that you're allowed to speak at all. I have loathed his Blairite gibbering for as long as I can remember. Raised by Communist parents, he seems to retain the comrades' inability to countenance that others have different opinions which deserve to be aired, and the ratio-pounding he's taken this week as he resurrects the tired Whataboutery regarding illegal immigrants and crime has been one of the few pleasures in this terrible time. "Some criminals aren't asylum seekers" is the line that he and the other grifter-hacks have settled upon, and I think it would have worked ten years ago. It doesn't work any more: you don't need Bayes' theorem to discern why such a line is as pointless as it's anti-statistical. This progress in the discourse is in part down to your bravery, Matt. Thank you.

Thanks Matt, and thanks to all your subscribers who post here. You all stopped me feeling I was alone in my opinions and going nuts in my dotage. Psychological support, yes, good way of putting it. Peace to all this Sunday.
