I said it in another thread, but I will say it again here, so many of the working class backed Brexit (giving credence to this clown), wrongly thinking they were sticking it to Johnny Foreigner. Now that this mob have the reigns, they are about to feel the full force of upper class contempt. And I bet many will still, whilst their asses are getting fucked bloody, will still blame Poles for it, while the likes of Farage cheer on from the sidelines "Its the Muslims too!".
Out of all the public services they want to demolish, this is the one that frightens me the most, it is also the one though that I think might just stir enough popular anger that there might be hope of a reckoning for those responsible.
Couldn't agree more. The Britannia Unchained mob want to take us back a few centuries. The sad thing is that the people who will be hurt the most for this are playing an active role in facilitating it.
I don't know how to feel about this one, nor do I want to derail. In the past, those on the left who are into grievance politics often made out (though didn't necessarily intend) that what was wrong with the people wanting to do massive harm to the country wasn't that they wanted to do massive harm to the country, but that they were white men. I always remember a meme with Lisa Simpson, saying how it is terrible, at least half of them should be women of colour, and now they get it, and I don't think they like it. I also found it amusing, reading the Guardian earlier, how it is almost as if they aren't real women or real ethnic minorities, that the advancement of women and ethnic minorities should be for those with the correct belief structure. I think it is unfair and misses that it is a symbol of real progress. The hammering of the working classes, disabled etc isn't solely the preserve of white men, white women and others of a different skin colour are now able to rise up and do it too. Is there a stronger symbol, or better measure of gender/race equality than that? Worth pondering.
