Either way, I predict a slide towards the Farage/Hopkins/Yaxley-Lennon/Fransen end of the spectrum before long. Where we are likely to find Laurence Fox on this spectrum once he's finished his transition to greatness is anybody's guess, but he'll be a regular, I'm sure.

Hence TV infomercials for iffy fitness machines, glamorous ads for £100 face cream, paying celebrities a fortune to wear your latest made-by-poor-kids tat.<br /><br />Same applies to current Conservatism. There's no actual solutions or optimism, its basically all reactive hatred of the other and worship of the monied classes mixed in with regurgitated 1950s flag-waving drivel. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-26043579020753527972020-08-30T16:50:52.269+01:002020-08-30T16:50:52.269+01:00Re: Grim Northerner's comment - obligatory Umb...Re: Grim Northerner's comment - obligatory Umberto Eco piece...<br /><br />https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1995/06/22/ur-fascism/<br /><br />" The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies. When I was a boy I was taught to think of Englishmen as the five-meal people. They ate more frequently than the poor but sober Italians. Jews are rich and help each other through a secret web of mutual assistance. However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy."<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-74479423704949080292020-08-30T16:31:27.785+01:002020-08-30T16:31:27.785+01:00Welcome to the Blowhard Broadcasting Corporation.
