Are we really going to drown in six inches of water? The central far right claim - that our problems are caused not by those with power and wealth but by utterly powerless people (asylum seekers etc) - is obviously and pathetically wrong. Yet millions, once more, are floundering in that puddle.
It's amazing how so many people can be beguiled and led astray by the very men who'd shed not a single tear at the demise of them all. So many factors play into this confusion. There must be body of research oh how the right mind-fucks the average person. The deceit, lies, and corruption never end.
IKR? But the UK MSM steadfastly refuse to challenge it on a 'fact-checking' style basis. Because under that rock also resides fair taxation and actual democracy. And both personally and professionally, they are terrified of both those things.
Farage’s mass deportation plan isn’t just theatre - it takes Britain down dark roads already travelled by Trump’s America. A warning for our democracy: Please read, share and subscribe www.plagueisland.com/p/britains-d...
would hope no one here has ICE in them, itching to surface
Well said.
Not to be pedantic or disagree about the corrosive effect of grotesque inequality, but whether 6 inches of water can drown you depends on whether you’re already up to your neck.
More like 6mm
The Press TV and Radio tell us we are drowing in a cm of water, and until we create a free press, one that isnt used by billionaires & millionaires to enslave us, we will continue to be lied to, miss-informed, and controlled by the establishment!
Career politicians across the spectrum would have to admit that they lack the will and intellect to address the issues in our society & admit that they are just face down in the trough. COVID was a reset button. An opportunity thrown away to the great god Mammon. Integrity a mere fading echo.
After brexit Farage should be finished but he can always count on how easy it is to exploit this country's racist nationalism
Pumping gas emissions and the cutting of Rainforests are to blame, Migrants escaping drought and conflicts, starvation like in Africa, not causing global warmth
This has always been the strategy when religion and fear of punishment in hell no longer worked.
Which is ironic as cults & the church profit (da bum tsssh) from the suffering & desperation of the masses.
We could dry drown
I used to think people fell for this nonsense out of ignorance, but the truth is uglier - it feeds their biases, and that’s more addictive than any drug. So let’s quit letting them off the hook - they know exactly what they’re doing.
Conscious bias. They’re there and they are being exploited by the billionaire psychopaths that own social media
Spot on!
The gullible and poorly educated have long been viable fodder for the far right and wealthy elite. Absolutely mind boggling that they fall for it in their millions
Every god damn time. It's written in history everywhere. Yet it still happens over and over again.
Our enemies are in large yachts, not small boats.
Thickoes taken by media, TV and press pushing the thicko propaganda will inevitably be thicko until after they have been screwed over. Sometimes even more stupid. Idiot Nation 24/7 from birth = easily manipulated gullible populace "voting" against their own best interests. Just as thick as yanks.
It is Joseph Goebbels "reality" news state brought to life. The reality being what they tell you.
It’s because there is no alternative, compelling story being told. Never going to get it from Starmer.
What the hell have stories gotta do with mass media control of a population by millionaires & billionaires?
The stories are meaningless if they are all told by the ultra wealthy. Altruistic they will never be.
They were when they had actual faith.
Altruism isn't enough in a system designed to steal & use up everything all the time.
History, bucko.
Because the 1% have so much control over UK Media, they are able to propagandise incessantly, blaming everyone else for all the problems that the 1% create. Even the smartest person will succumb to propaganda when it's constant and insidious. We need more free voices like George and less of Nigel.
the same #playbook as #hitler, #trump, #putler, #whoreban etc blame others
The countries where religion is minimal and education and social care are maximal, such as Scandinavia, are generally the happiest and most prosperous.

You do really have a way with words George…..
It's easier to hurt the vulnerable, and some people just want to hurt others and vote only for whoever gives them a justification, sadly
I’m thinking a lot about this recent article - as applicable to the U.K. as to the US - about how most of us have no functional understanding of democracy since we basically work in dictatorships. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Lemmings jumping over the cliff, all convinced immigrants are the source of all their problems !
