....more armchair politics (Part 2)

That really is worrying, even with such a quota regime we have in Europe.

Go Humanzzz

Humanity seems stupid.

It is indeed.

Thing is, none of that is news - every morsel has been made public in the past - so where was such a concise and effective summary in the run-up to Brexit? Certainly AWOL from the mainstream media…

What a vile little man. Thank you for sharing. I’ve forwarded it to many…

Does she really think she’ll be able to style that out for another 40, 50 years?

You’ve got to be seriously bloody thick.

In the wake of the right-wing media’s witch hunt lately ending in Alison Rose’s resignation, I decided to ask Internet 1.0 (Google, Bing, &c) “Is racism a legitimate political belief?”.

This was the answer:

There was no answer.

Partly, that’s because it’s a stupid question, partly because Internet 1.0 doesn’t really work anymore.

So I asked Internet 2.0 - i.e. an AI bot - which did a lot better:

“Racism is not a legitimate political belief. It is a harmful and discriminatory ideology that promotes the belief that one race is superior to others, which is fundamentally wrong and goes against basic human rights. Political beliefs should promote equality and fairness, not discrimination and prejudice. Encouraging or promoting racism is not acceptable in any form and goes against the values of many societies around the world.”

Oh, that’s awkward, because Nigel Farage is an undisguised and unrepentant racist who had his bank account closed primarily because he is a business failure and secondarily because of his “political” views.

So we - here in Rulebritanniashire - we are saying racism is a legitimate political view? Right…?

I mean, we do all agree that actions speak louder than words?

Nigel Farage is a fucking disgusting human being, refresh your memory here:

Unrelievedly Horrible, isn’t he? And yet the right-wing media, cheer-led by the BBC, cannot promote his interests enough, cannot stop legitimising his vile beliefs, cannot stop pandering to his unquenchable thirst for attention. His disturbing and divisive views, his incompetence, his breathtaking lack of discernible talent, his disingenuousness, his vainglorious posturing, his utter lack of redeeming features, the fact that he would be a completely empty vessel were it not for the space occupied by hate - those go unmentioned.

He’s been at the core of the single most egregious act of socioeconomic self-harm in the British Isles’ entire 10,000 year history - and yet the majority of British media continue to promote and legitimise him.

I see this as another coup by the far right, or rather let’s call it a scratch - “éraflure d’état” - smaller, but oft-repeated, so ultimately just as lethal.

Alison Rose was right. And if Britain was the land of fair play and decency it has always fondly imagined itself to be, it is Alison Rose who would be being lionised today, not scapegoated for simply endorsing a truth obvious to anyone who is not a drooling bigot with the IQ of compost. Instead, her career is at an end because she had the good taste to decide not say it out loud when she had a microphone shoved under her nose.

Once-again “The usurer hangs the cozener.”… What a laughing-stock this cuntry is making of itself.

This will go well

Well, if poverty is the fault of the poor - and thus they must be punished by hunger, deprivation and premature death from preventable diseases…

And being a refugee is the fault of the oppressed and brutalised - and thus they must be punished by drowning in the sea or rotting in uninhabitable accommodation…

Then surely mental illness is the fault of the mentally ill - and thus ‘Don’t-Care In The Community’ must be extended to ensure they are left to rot on the streets as punishment for their errant ways?

Punishment is all we have after-all! How else are the billionaires supposed to deal with the problems of the cockroach-like masses that keep them in power and wealth?

Tut! You filthy communists need to wake-up!

Access to MH support is in a terrible state, with little available for crisis and emergency help, so that then already means that it falls to the police to have to deal with by default - so to then say don’t respond is an abdication of responsibility to both care and protect.

What a fucking state to get into. From managed decline to willful neglect and harm.

If I could give that post infinite likes I would. The UK is a fucking shitshow at the moment.

And I’ll say it again, that fucking plane crash should have done its job properly.

Yep it’s very tough.

I went to one recently and the operator wasn’t sure what service they needed/wanted so defaulted to police and we attended.

This made them worse and they kept punching walls and at one point went to grab a kitchen knife. It was too early in the morning for us to have our mental health nurse on duty and they refused to go to hospital with us. So we called an ambulance which had a six-eight hour ETA.

We were getting to the point of thinking we would have to sit with them until the ambulance arrived. They were not sectionable by police as they were inside their house.

They eventually asked us to leave and we had to, even though they kept saying they would jump out of their window as soon as we left. We had now power to stay and our presence made it worse, so had to leave.

Thankfully they didn’t jump, but still put us in a very tough spot of effectively being powerless. If the operator had connected them to ambulance we would have never heard about it, they would have probably gone on a quicker response too. They slow their response if they know police are present.

He wasn’t anti ambulance so would have probably engaged with them. If not they do have powers to deal with people inside their properties.

So essentially we turned up, had no powers to act, made it worse and left.
