My new piece for RT.com OpEdge.
The gap between the views of the elites and the people in the UK is wider than at any time in the last 100 years.
I mentioned it in an RT OpEdge in September, and now the democratic deficit has once again been highlighted by the relentless attacks on Russia and President Putin from members of our political and media elite. We've seen article after article and heard speech after speech attacking Russia and its president for what has happened in Crimea, and regular attempts to scare the public about the Russian'threat'.
You can read the whole piece here.

@joshuafoust I'm completely fine w/ outlandish opinions, but it's sad how easily a foreign propaganda channel can co-opt "opposition" views.

@Matthew_Kupfer @joshuafoust Just like BBC Russia, VOA +RFE/RL! Funny how that works, isn't it, giving minority fringes voice and platform

@MarkSleboda1 @Matthew_Kupfer No, they are most certainly not the same at all. Please bother someone else, I'm not in the mood today.
