      Boomer Galactica...I’d love Tinkerbell to wave her wand of justice and punishment mate. I’m waiting and hoping for the media (at least one of the culprits) to see what it is they’re promoting and apologize and tell the truth. The BBC would be great. Or the Mail. But they’re owned by a KGB agent. Once KGB always KGB. Alex Lebedev is still KGB. And he owns the Daily Mail and MailOnline. And has been allowed to own it by the Tory high command.
      But at least none of the media are wittily copying Nazi Germany. Except The Sun with their “Night of the Blonde Knives” front page headline! Dangerous times for us little people mate.

      Don't insult Benny Hill. Hill was a comic genius and wordsmith. Johnson is a streak of piss up a wall and the moron who has shingle-handedly spread all the anti-EU lies over the last 20 years. Johnson is an embarrassment for me as a UK citizen. A serial liar, an insincere blagger and a self-serving privileged entitled streak of piss. He about as statesmanlike as Tigger ( offence to A. A. Milne).

    So, funny story - back in the ancient good old days, in the era before things got properly fucked up in 2001 - political operatives and advisers used to joke with one another that "if this [insert anecdote] keeps going, then one day, the politicians will just declare that they don't have reasons for believing in anything, and simply say that you should vote for their belief in that it should work!". And then we laughed, and expected things to be sorted out once things were discussed for a little bit.
    It didn't. It doesn't. Boris is yet another of an infinite stream of instances where political campaigns based on literally nothing has won out in front of actual political work.
    And I'll tell you exactly why this happens: reaching voters has always been a problem. Not reaching them physically, but actually engaging with them and discussing issues that affect them. You have this effect in everything from the discussion in the office around what kind of coffee should be purchased, to the union representatives at the factory actually fielding concerns from workers that are actual concerns that they genuinely say.
    Because getting something intelligent, and more importantly "sellable", out of someone who sits with their face down in a boiler all day welding splices is difficult. It's incredibly difficult, just as having an actual discussion about which coffee type you would want to get at the office. The bigger the discussion is as well, do you know what happens? People shy away, because they know, by and large, that they don't know what's best for everyone else. So they're polite and they'll bow away.
    So what do you do, as a political operative, to get people by the balls? You seek an audience that wants to be impressed with your bullshit in mass. Back in the good old days, which is less than 20 years ago, a politician would be laughed out of the room if they got elected by racing back and forth on the street, screaming that they "BELIEVE IN THINGS. VOTE FOR PROGRESS THAT WE BELIEVE IN! NOT THE SOCIALIST SCOURGE ON THE OTHER SIDE, OF POLITICAL VARIABLE ACTUAL BELIEF!". A politician who would send out chain-mail, promising 10 dollars for each vote, would be arrested.
    But today, you can reach all these fucking morons with a click of a button, and feed them bullshit like this. We knew about this, and we knew about the potential. We thought it might cause unamusing changes, but we didn't anticipate that it would actually engage a majority. We never believed that bullshit could possibly push someone across the various "first past the post" systems, or push clear majorities in parliamentary systems.
    We were stupid. Because the truth is that if you can reach the shy little spiteful bastard in the back of the office, and feed him specific information about what he really wants - then you win elections. Spite sells, yes, and people want to be fooled, yes. Steve Bannon people are fifty on a dozen, I've talked to hundreds of people like this who are massively more brilliant than him, and certainly were worse ethically as well.
    And none of us believed, regardless of "stripe", that it would actually push a majority.
    Because to this extent? We didn't anticipate that. We couldn't make ourselves believe it. We thought that people would rebel, conservative or liberal, and say, in the end, even for just the sake of self-preservation: look, these types of campaigns that are based on nothing are going to cost us all seats soon enough, so we shouldn't flirt with this. We believed that people would storm the streets once politicians would try to sell them policies that make no sense as if they were speaking for the whole country.
    But they don't. You see, other than the fucker who secretly hates negroes, people don't want to engage.
    And that's what these Boris-types understand. That there is a sizeable amount of fuckers out there who disagree about everything, and are pissed off about any amount of things - that have in common that they are willing to /engage/ with simplistic bullshit they feel, that they genuinely believe, is tailored at them. And that they outnumber the ones who will be reactionary when things go bad - and certainly the ones that will react before the apocalypse actually happens.
    So they sell, not political causes, but /belief/ in that things will be better.
    And now you have that, literally, in front of you. The joke we laughed ourselves silly over in 1999.

  • @jamisbillson4872
    @jamisbillson4872 5 лет назад +13

    Why do people automatically jump in the possibility of a one world government? Or a union of European nations? It’s like it’s in the genes of the Brexit morons.
    Anyway...as a genius I will explain truth.
    2010 TORY austerity is forced upon us. Whilst bankers get enormous bonuses. Between times TORY George Osborne challenges the EU Law on capping bankers bonuses. That’s TORY Greed. But the media will spin it as an affront to wealth creation. Whilst all this time the media are putting arsenic into our breakfasts via the BBC, Sky, The Sun or The Daily Mail. Slowly poisoning us with near subliminal but simultaneously blatant anti EU headlines.
    2016 the TORIES give us the Referendum. Six years of hardcore austerity and the savaging of our public services and they then ask...”Do you want change?”. The surprise was that the vote was so close. I predicted it to be about 60%. That it was so close is also something to understand. The timing of the referendum, called when their TORY pollsters have given them the winning stats. TORY Brexit, to give it its full name, has been planned for a long time. Anyone who believes that this is a mess is wrong. To those who have the wealth and power it’s absolutely perfect.
    And I can’t be arsed to carry on. We are Doomed I tell thee.

    The term is "ALL IN" James for pushing your whole stack into the middle of the table. A very apt analogy there! Judging by the shock on Boris' and others' faces when the Leave campaign won, I'd say he and the other campaign leaders couldn't believe their bluff was called. Now they need to believe that the EU doesn't bluff.

    Boris Johnson grew up in a family were the father was an adulterer and assaulted the mother physically and mentally, a father that pitted the three siblings against each other, maybe that’s why he has no respect for women, not being able to bond in the usual way with his younger brother and sister may explain some of his shortcomings, plus being groomed to be the head of the household could also have given him reasons to believe he can do things ? So now we have a prime minister who is totally out of his depth and is incapable of doing any ‘thing”

He’s wrong on several things but he’s right on almost everything. If I didn’t have weeks to live (stage 4 cancer) I’d love to phone him and chat about population control and a global government and the propaganda machines in the right wing media. James O’Brien has compassion, empathy, political wisdom and a knowledge of political history.

    In an existential crisis, such as an imminent invasion, belief (resolution) in the power to resist is important. Belief is less important in non-crisis situations when the facts are not clear and the country is completely divided over the issue. Churchill was able to galvanize the UK against Germany because the threat was imminent. You cannot galvanize (instill belief in) a people when the facts are not clear.

    When attending an elite school and you have political aspirations and want to be the leader of men - no doubt you join the debate club at your school. Becoming adept arguing cases of importance from both sides you discover you can win the debate from either side because who wins is decided by the strength of the debaters and their skills.
    Unfortunately debaters are Artsman taking courses such as English and the amenities to the exclusion of taking science - because they want to be lawyers. Economists . Generally. This has “worked “through the generations. It works no longer. We need debaters that are scientists and attuned to the Science evidenced reality of our existence , to better shape the debate to this very distinctive reality and lead us %through the 21st century.

      Just boroughs a ticket for Luton v WBA. £30! It’s was £22 last season.
      You’re one of odd Leavereps who can spell. And string a stent e together. Why are you a Brexoteer mate? It’s a con. A massive Tory Divide and Rule. Tory Tommy Robinson...Luton hooligan (not a 100% cnut then) to Boris and Farage and Mogg. All hard Right Wing Franco. Traitors to our war dead. We defeated Nationalism 70 years ago. It’s rising it’s ugly head again with help from the 80% Right Wing controlled media. They are all about dictatorship (at their extremes) and state over the people. We are an individualist country mate. Should be. It’s not working at the moment and I’m sure it’s a Tory agenda. Put austerity on the people for 6 years then ask “Do you want change?”. Hence Brexit. The Tories (not all but the hard Right scum Tories) want you to think we are in a mess. WE are. THEY are loving this. It’s their Tory dream.
      QPR is me away game I might go to this season. watfud never turn up when we play them...piss coloured drum banging goal music playing flag waving Italian wannabe Ultra blowhard tossers. Now I’m a bit older I have discovered that I now hate driving in London. I used to love it. Even though you’re QPR I have to give you respect. I hate Glory Hunters. They’re ruining our little local clubs. May as well support Barclays effing Bank Franco.
      Sell me Brexit Franco. I want to believe in Brexit. But I listen to experts...unlike Michael Gove. It’s going to be bad and for what? We have Sovereignty. We have control of our borders. We already have the best EU deal being out of Shenghan and not using the €. And we want more concessions from them! They aren’t the enemy mate. The enemy is the same enemy as always was. The Tories. They’ve savaged our services and you’re trusting them with Brexit! Come on Franco.
      I imagine the QPR v Luton will kick off. We’ve not played a rival for too long. I’m already hearing stuff. I love the hostility of derbies...sort of derbies. As you said mate...QPR and Stoke were the first games we looked at. Stoke asked for our game to be a midweek game! Meltey bastards. Nathan the reptilian low life loyalty of a snake wanker Jones (his parents must have hated him to name him that!!!) must have asked for a midweek game. We knew that would happen. It want a surprise to some of us. Who can travel to Stoke on a Tuesday night? Even with transport the rush hours these days mean we’d have to set off about 3pm. Doable but people have jobs. Typical FA to ruin what would have been super hostile. The FA are as shitcnut as the Tories. Ooopps. They are Tories.
