5. A wonderful morning segment from Lee
… required watching each parliamentary morning, I’d say. Watch out for those llamas today, ok? Mind how ye go:
4. Two sub-items in the previous post item
a. Drift to the centre
Reform must resist this drift to the centre
Chap’s quite right … it’s something Farage/Tice are prone to and if it’s true, it shows how out of touch they really are with the “rank and file”, plus the majority of Brits as a whole. Here’s the author’s opening remarks:
I HAVE received an email from Reform UK, informing me that my membership is up for renewal. And my thought was, do I really want to renew it?
This may seem a surprise in light of my previous articles in support of the party and active involvement in leafleting at last year’s general election.
I’m not thinking of defecting; Labour under Starmer is just as I expected, and the smaller parliamentary parties are still purveyors of woke stupidity, wilful ignorance and nastiness. The Conservatives deserve nothing other than to wither and die as a political entity.
No, my quandary is the result of incidents and inferences and soundbites during and since the election, a few of which I mention below. Any of these could be dismissed as trivial compared with the mountain Reform is climbing. But taken together, I’m wondering if they are indicative of a drift now the party is soaring in the polls. Is it shying away from the full scope of the promise to its core supporters, of being clearly set apart from the legacy body politic, of saying and doing the things no other party has the courage to say or do?
A few commentators have played apologists for Reform, indicating that it must tack to the centre on certain issues to win enough votes to become the number one or number two UK party. But I’m wondering if this apparent policy of tacit appeasement will become the norm. Will it further compromise its stance to retain power? Will it become more Boris Johnson, and less Donald J Trump?
Quite agree. Only yesterday, MMutR and I were discussing it and I’d remarked that “we” ranged from Old Labour, now dissident, to centre-right, with which he disagreed. He said that because the communist far left had dragged everyone remotely Woke or left lib within the voting age to the far left, while insisting they were still the “centre” … i.e. the new positions they were taking were quite extremist, not at all “center”, while still pumping out “luv everyone”, “hug trees” … while that was going on, it was also pushing former centre-right much further over to the right.
That is … people such as me whose “political position test” decades ago had me at just right of centre … we in fact have shifted in reaction to the rabid Wokerati, themselves manipulated by Globopsycho. In other words, just as Woke psycho are trying to eliminate the middle class itself, so the political middle ground is disappearing.
Now … it’s not unlike Chamberlain and Churchill. Chamberlain, too late, started appeasing uber alles, out of touch with what he was actually facing. Churchill knew what he was facing but there were many question marks over him too … different ones.
And the people? Caught in the middle, as always, bewildered, dismayed.
b. “Wellbeing”
The item on children’s “wellbeing” points out the trap. Feelgood words are always hijacked by these people, prostituted to mean something quite different, e.g. “equality and diversity”, devoid of context.
An example is an ad at Rumble which has some milquetoast wispy-bearded leftist stating, “You are ‘manifesting abundance’ wrongly.”
Whaa? You wot? I know what “manifest” means, I know what “abundance” means … or used to mean. But now, in new, weaponised, hijacked, twisted, connected form, it means something quite different … it’s part of an eastern, Asian cult, including meditation, emptying mind and soul, leaving it open to possession, whilst pretending to bring “inner peace” … in fact it makes the angst worse … hence all the mental health issues brought on by this cult thing overtaking the west … Chinese psy-ops to incapacitate people, turn them soft … compliant Eloi in other words.
But how does one attempt to explain this, let alone get people to wake up to it? Especially when they’re already in a trance?
3. The three letter sites
4b. To ‘manifest abundance’ you have to throw $$$$s at that fake pastor DJT favours. If that doesn’t work it is your fault for not believing enough so next time throw more. If that doesn’t work then it is God’s will that you are poor. Win-win for those peddling this nonsense. For non-believers there’s “The Secret” – same dance different dress.
5. One question could be “Do llamas spit at you when they feel threatened?” Apparently they do, but worth asking.
