I wonder whether William Hague knows he’s a blatant, sanctimonious hypocrite. According to the Telegraph:
‘Mr Hague said it was not for other countries to dictate who should be in power, or what their tactics should be, but told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: ‘”Clearly, in so many of these countries people do have legitimate grievances, which are economic and political.”’
Richard Seymour says in response to a Tony Blair comment about the situation in Egypt that ‘Egyptians, long-suffering under a dictator and his torturing, murdering security apparatus, should not have to listen to this contemptible shit’. [2]
What a great way to respond to Hague, who has nothing critical to say about British interference in Afghanistan or British support for Israeli brutality against Palestinians. Oh, and talking of legitimate grievances, what about the students priced out of further education? And the thousands losing their jobs? Aren’t their grievances legitimate?
