Opening sentence of R4’s headline at 7 - “Labour leadership contest… blah-blah… Nigel Farage has said… blah-blah”.
So a) it’s apparently official; b) the only commentator the BBC is reporting is the one with the most to gain from this, and the one whose £5 million bribe-taking they’re doing their best not to report.
Last night I ‘unfriended’ someone I’ve known for years from social meeja, someone I like and rather admire, because it turns out they - like the BBC - are in the thrall of the neo-fascists and took part in the fake-name Hatey-the-Dwarf Yaxley-Lennon march at the w/e.
TBH, I’m too old to properly get to grips with the nauseating, bilious rage all this generates within… How the fuck is it that SO many people are so fucking stupid and easily led…?
Speaking of the march I was heading into town late Saturday afternoon and a load of them got on the tube at Green Park (which makes sense) with their flaggy-flags.
It struck me as so incongruous - I would have thought that the average tube carriage, full of every language, colour and creed, would be absolute kryptonite for them.
See also the cognitive dissonance of importing, or at least attempting to import, their monoculture into one of the most diverse places on earth. Fuck off back home with that shit.
On the plane back from Munich last weekend it seemed like a German lady a couple of rows up made the mistake of telling the man beside her that she was going for a mini-break in London.
This was enough to set him off on a full 15 minute hairdryer of Khan’s London / knife crime / they want to ban cars inside the M25 / nobody tells me what to do / Islamification. I felt sorry for her. Wake up and smell the falafel mate.
I find it very depressing TBH, because they’re not all actually low-IQ-stupid, and not all hate-filled habitual racists. Many have just been sucked-in by the all-prevailing propaganda, many are passive herd-followers “my mates all think Tommeh’s a hero, so I do too”, and are quite comfortable with the mental gymnastics needed to pursue their ‘beliefs’. They’re being lied-to ALL the fucking time, and from-the-cradle-to-the-grave modern culture doesn’t do anyhting to encourage people to Question or think for themselves. Quite the reverse.
Doesn’t help that we can’t exactly point to the political Left as a shining beacon of Hope and verisimilitude, either…
The other day I heard two older white men discussing how the BBC was now in the power of the lefty commies. Hates Israel and only reports on the Middle East from an Islamic view point, supports Hezbollah and Hamas and that Jeremy Bowen is an Iranian stooge.
I didn’t realise what a stellar academic and professional career he’s had.
It turns out that there was a branch of the civil service that he really wanted to go into because of his talents, but when he sent off for the career pamphlet in ~1984 it explicitly said that homosexuality and homosexual tendencies were not tolerated and all applicants would be investigated in advance.
Well done Thatch and your ilk, your bigotry deprived our country of a huge asset so he went off and made a shit ton of money instead.
