Johann Hari speaks at the Progressive London Conference 2010

Journalist Johann Hari talks about the dangers of a Conservative election victory: David Cameron's policy of prioritising deficit reduction and steep cuts in public services will be a disaster for the UK. Labour should campaign on a policy of massive investment in a Green New Deal, which will stimulate the economy as well as combat climate change.

Ddidnt think so troll

[MrYoungIndependence]

There is notthing progressive about big government and this is exactly what the coalition is promoting at the moment. In that respect, Johan Hari shares common ground with the government and therefore has no right to be opposing them.

@Mickmars90 you seem to be airing opinions about Johann Hari which are pretty much entirely disconnected from anything in the video you're commenting on. Which is all very nice, but... I mean, don't you have a blog of your own you can do that on, where it would make a bit more sense in context?

Mind you, baldly stating your beliefs as truth, when they're just claims that Hari, er, assumes his beliefs are "the truth," probably contains too many layers of irony for the blog format to cope with.
