After a wild morning scrolling on Facebook I came across another of the usual posts where a creator mentioned that possibly the new prime minister of the UK could change some things for the better (not an opinion I hold out much hope of coming true to be honest, but I do see some positive things he's said he will do that look pretty good to me). Lets see if he follows them with action.
But like all things Zuckerbook... the post title is pure clickbait, if not ragebait for the more insane side of the right wing.
And... due to the over abundance of morons in the UK, and the massive array of AI bots that the Reform party have deployed with their ill gotten cash, these posts often get swamped with very short (and suspiciously similar) comments.
Please don't mistake me, I don't think Andy Burnham is anthing more than another company man. A career politician who will spin his opinion and promises on their heads when/if it suits his agenda. But he is a hell of a lot better than some of the lunatics that have infiltrated UK politics at this time.
Better the devil you know and all that jazz.
Comments like -
"Are you mad."
"The black death was popular too, - was it? or was that a complete moronic thing to say - but it didn't do a lot of good."
"Bollocks 馃ぁ馃ぁ馃ぁ"
"Only because the Brussels Gestapo can spot an easy touch a mile away."
"The nonce of the north is betraying Britain."
This is a classic move of Reform bots and high-ups to call other people nonces as some of Tommy Robinson's (he used to be on hive for a while) known companions have quite a rap sheet in regards to assaults on underage girls (please see the article referenced at the bottom of this post).
Please understand that I do not share these pictures and facts to shock and offend, it is simply maddening to me and many other people that this scum attempts to scapegoat Muslims as all being paedophiles, when their is evidence out there like this. Of course there will be criminals of all types among all sub-cultures, but it is proportional. There is only a small proportion of truly sick people in any sub-culture of people. The far right have very cleverly chosen the one thing that extremist Islam has the worst track record for as a religion which is their subjugation of woman in general. But the EDL and other far right lunatics try to create this fervour stating that all Muslims have rape and paedophilia built into their culture.
An out and out lie.
Evidence doesn't lie, convictions such as those highlighted above that Tommy's friends perpetrated don't lie!
But moving swiftly on to one of my favourite comments which adds a bit of levity to this already rather heavy article...
John Miller's comment - "Who rights this rubbish."
The word you're tiny mind is unable to spell properly John is 'writes' 馃槅
My little part in educating idiots and providing alternative, fact based content.
A nice lady called Teresa Ave posted an inflammatory, factually incorrect poster meme claiming 'Leftism' as she called it was a hate group and a religion of self-hatred. I personally love most people, and certainly don't hate myself, or my male-ness, or the right and reality of one of my best friends who happens to be gay to celebrate their identity as a male. She was one of many who appeared suddenly on a Fbook antifascist group.
Strangely, I had a very similar debate with a guy only two days earlier who was responding to everyone by calling them leftie nonces, but he rapidly deleted his whole comment thread after I responded in similar kind as to the comment below, which meant that my comment was deleted on his thread as well, there was no attempt at an answer or even addressing some of the issues I'd raised.
It is almost like they looked at the response and thought get that measured, non reactive, multi-paragraph response off here asap or some people might change their minds 馃槅
My response to Teresa Ave -
"Hi Teresa Ave, been watching GB news have we?
Been reading the daily mail have we?
Brainwashed moron says what?
There is no left wing option to vote for any more apart from, perhaps, the green party, but they are only left wing in some of their policies. Labour certainly aren't left wing, go study what a left wing government does.
So when you shout about the left, you're literally shouting about a largely non-existent option. There are plenty of people who have left wing views, but the UK is largely like America now where its manufactured so that there is only a centre and two very small lines either side of that centre, apart it seems from a far right option that seems to have gone unchecked for some reason. Before, when there were three or four options to vote for representing the left, the centre and the right it worked largely like a scale over a large enough timescale such as decades, where no one political doctrine were allowed to destroy whole institutions such as the NHS, because at some point the other side would be voted in and they'd undo much of the damage that had been done.
Unless someone changes this insane centrist veneer of choice all the stuff you're angry about will continue.
Why?
Because the planet is rapidly heating and middle eastern people are literally dying of heat stroke in the streets during the summer, it was on the news this year, do you watch the news? These are people who's physiology has adapted to deal with extreme heat. Why the f#ck do you think they want out of that environment.
Then there are the many wars raging that make loads of money for arms manufacturers who pay a pittance in tax and none of that money gets near your pocket... again, would you stay in a war zone with e.g. a family of two small children?
Or, would you stay and fight right, because you're such a patriotic and powerful person?
And you'd die, and your children and any other family would die, because protecting yourself is one thing, but attempting to protect yourself and 2 children who can't fight for themselves is a very different thing. Unless you're a trained soldier, but still the probability is massively against you.
But there are solutions to help bring parity back to our fckd up country and diminish poverty and the wealth gap.
A wealth tax (on assets), a fair controlled asylum process (i.e. prioritising those fleeing war torn countries), closing of tax loopholes for multinational companies and multi-millionaires/billionaires, a regulated and actively enforced stopping of political donations (which would mean only people who want to see change for the better would apply for political office instead of these money-grubbing career politicians in many of the parties we have now. If there was no massive financial incentive apart from e.g. a 拢40k-拢50k/year salary, the parasites wouldn't turn up, and the Eton crowd would attempt to find some other way to rape the country of its money, fair minimum wages that equals (or come close to equalling) inflation, again achievable by regulating and taxing business in a responsible manner, not bending over for a bu#ming from Trump the crackhead umpha lumpha to support his insane war that has inflated oil and petrol prices to the point most people can't afford, re-funding the NHS properly and deconstructing/removing the private companies that now hold contracts that control a large portion of the administrative side of the NHS, nationalisation of (at the very least) water, the postal service and electricity....
All of this would improve your life by lowering the cost of living so that you no longer have to believe the line of sh#t that GB news and the Daily Mail feed you every day - Blame immigration.
They are lying to you and you lap it up because it's easier to hate a minority group than it is to think."
Some of the account of the comment I have written above includes a few paraphrases simply because when I originally wrote this post I was copying from the comment I had written to the guy who deleted my comment thread in the other group, and I've since found out he has blocked me. So I adapted them to what I would have said to the extremely pleasant and none-responsive Teresa.
Thank you for reading my rant, and if you got this far give yourself a pat on the back, or maybe make a nice cuppa tea 馃憤
