In this weeks 'Time Out' 'books editor Chris Moss writes a vitriolic attack, "don't cry over library closures" on what he sees to be the middle class, liberal bandwagon of campaigning against library closures.
And I quote "What are libraries for? Well, from the scene at 'mine', they're for reading newspapers, keeping warm, fucking about on the internet, renting films, killing time and getting the kids out of the house"
"In the main, public libraries are a dust-ridden Victorian project lumbering into the twenty-first century that gives the impression that the underclass mind is being serviced, while the middle class lies in bed with its hardback and soft notions"
He also goes onto say that he couldn't find any good books on 'modernist architecture' or 'Brazil' and that the shelves were full of dross such as "Catherine Cookson and Agatha Christie", elitist moi?
Funnily enough he appears to be happy to see councils cut the public services he doesn't approve off, but he doesn't find it ironic that his council gave him "an allotment two weeks ago", obviously something he does approve off?
What a complete and utter twat!
