Shabby creep. I like that.
I'm getting tired of politics in this country at the moment. I don't know if it's because I'm older and wiser than I was years ago, or the standard of politicians, particularly conservative MP's, has fallen off a cliff in recent years, but just look at that photograph of our Prime Minister.
It's not a god look, in any way, shape or form, and the tories voted for him to be our glorious leader. Why? What possessed them to think a man who has been sacked for lying three times, spent years writing lies for the telegraph about the EU, wastes money on airhead ideas, refuses to acknowledge how many children he has spawned and wanted a journalist killed would in anyway be a fit and proper person to lead the nation?
Since he has become Prime Minister, he has hidden himself in a fridge to avoid questions from journalists, told the people of Northern Ireland there wouldn't be a border in the Irish Sea, illegally tried to prorogue parliament, openly lied to the Queen, ignores the corruption of his ministers, refused to accept our profit from the European Investment Bank of nearly £7B, finds it impossible to answer a single question in parliament, lies through his teeth when he is in parliament, spent £2.5M on a media centre that was used for a few days before being abandoned, complains he can't manage on an annual salary most of us would dream about then spends an obscene amount of money on a grace and favour small apartment in Downing Street.
The troubling thing for me is the the worst Prime Minister we have had in our history, with his constant lies and lack of judgement, is still riding high in the polls.
I don't know how long it's going to take for this country to wake up and realise just how bad the bunch of charlatans now running the country are looking after our interests, but when or if they do, the damage will be so deep seated, it will be far too late.
We are fucked with this lot in charge.
One of the most important tenets of a democratic society is a free press. A free press that holds people like Johnson to account and reports lies, tells the truth, investigates wrong doing.
Instead we have a sycophantic media controlled by a handful of super rich white men who use the media to represent their own interests. Their interests align with Johnson's so it is their interests to make sure Johnson gets a free ride and instead they caricature people like Ed Miliband who gets slaughtered for eating a bacon butty in a strange way.
If you are super rich and a beneficiary of Tory largesse then it is not in your interests to have that reported so donations to the Tory party are made, think tanks are primed to deliver propaganda and the gravy train rattles on through the station collecting more of the nations treasure as they pass.
You read our media, it is no wonder Johnson is ahead in the polls, he could literally murder somebody on Downing Street and the press headlines the next day would be Migrants seen on raft off Eastbourne.
The media promotes Nationalism, the Tories wave flags, the media report the Tories waving flags, Nationalism, disguised as Patriotism increases.
Human rights are treated with disdain, they are not for all anymore they are the preserve of the wealthy.
The media scapegoats and the Tories buy into the scapegoats, the media reports the Tories scapegoating in a positive manner and the scapegoating increases and we end up with Priti Patel.
The media appear on ships in the Black Sea, they report about British military might, the Tories use that reporting to positively reinforce the need for vanity weapons like nuclear submarines.
National security becomes an obsession, the story of a Tory minister responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people through his negligence becomes a story about national security, how was the minster filmed shagging.
The media go overboard about protests, they call for action, the Tories introduce a Bill that affects the democratic right to protest, crimes are given bigger sentences, law and order becomes an obsession.
Cronyism and corruption is rife, it is not reported how it should be, it is brushed over, they are taking the piss, its money for the elite, it is robbery, it is robbery from all of us. The media do not care, they have access to power to push for what the owners of the media want, fuck democracy, who needs voters when they can get there own way.
The above would not look out of place in a country that the world considered a Fascist state. I said on here two years ago that I thought Johnson was the most dangerous Prime Minister of my lifetime because he had fascist tendencies. I hoped I was wrong and he would prove to be a good PM but he hasn't, he has just reinforced my fears and he is now comfortably the worst PM in my lifetime, he lies , he cheats, he brags, he boasts, he philanders, he lies , he cheats, the man is an utter **** and we are all at his mercy. The media are complicit in his rise as well, those rich white men who own the media and fund campaigns like #defundthebbc, fund the think tanks of Tufton street, are in neck deep with Johnson and will continue to be as long as the **** is in power. We as people will be told to worry about trans rights, white privilige, to dismiss BLM, to castigate academia, to wave flags and display our Patriotism when all it is for is to keep a few very wealthy men in positions of power and influence.
Cunts will still vote for them though because as a nation we now answer questions, we do not question answers.
