On the ghastliness of recent politics:
So with the Referendum. Combining bare-faced lies with lurid, mendacious threats, neither side seems to care less what it says. But that is the nature of political populism: its unabashed shamelessness and manifest contempt for the electorate. The irony is that electorate, however Twitter-crazed, would rather not be treated like cretins, so they fully reciprocate that contempt. (Peter Jones, Spectator 18 June)
Indirectly, on the greatness of Queen Elizabeth II:
It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness. (Proverbs 16:12)
