Things have rather moved on in politics over the last few days. The Anglosphere is agog at the creative imbecility of its leaders; and the respective meltdowns on both sides of the Atlantic appear to be reaching the classical fourth act dénouement required by such narratives.
Of course the problems are that even though Trump can be replaced at the ballot for 2020 the international damage is already done. And in the UK we will have to live with the stupidity for some time if we crash out, as seems likely.
The Tories are between 12% and 15% ahead of the Labour Party in the polls. Folk actually prefer a lying, fornicating, classics-quoting, Regency scoundrel to Jezza. And that’s Jezza and Seamus’s fault. And the fact that Jezza, like the Stalinist he once was, prevaricated over the Skripal poisoning, thereby showing his true colours to Middle England.
A hard Brexit looks to be the only way we can get sense into some folk, alas and alack. Such is.
The English electorate are like turkeys voting for Christmas, or maybe a more arable crop given that turkeys seem to have some small cognitive powers... now I have to find some way to monetise the stupidity of other people... oops, Boris and his chums got there first. And better, they tilled the soil and watered it over the years it grew, so they knew the nature of the harvest they had nurtured.
Fascists are farmers of hatred and bigotry. Which is why their ideas need to be countered and monitored even when dormant or politically neutered, lest they slip into the mainstream.
