The purpose of democracy is not to deliver the will of the people but a struggle for the top jobs among the elite, said Joseph Schumpeter.
Anyone who imagines that the recent election will free Britain is dreaming.
If Johnson delivers a genuine Brexit in terms of leaving the control of the EU then he’ll be going against the entire function of his party – promoting the interests of globalised power. Apparently no one has told the ‘members’ that they are mere window dressing for a business lobbying outfit. An outstanding lobbying company able not only able to provide clients with unlimited media access for promotion of their interests but even to make laws to their advantage. These services rightly command high fees.
Johnson is a part of the elite so he won’t want a real departure or he’d become an outcast within his set. He’d never have been raised to the candidate list for leader if he were not made of the right stuff. What to do? Sneaky tricks again so it looks like we’ve left? Or, far more cunning, temporary informal arrangements where we effectively remain pending rejoining a ‘reformed’ EU or more direct control by the world elite in the name of justice, equality blah?
I predict bogus stronger border controls but yet more immigration plus legalising possibly a million illegals as a ‘one-off’ solution. Johnson has been after legalising illegals for a long time. Even the pretence of a cap on overall numbers has now been abandoned. More illegals can’t follow ready for the next amnesty because of the new strong border controls oh yes.
Local communities complaining about massive development projects ruining their pleasant neighbourhoods have been skillfully misdirected to blind themselves to the fact that there is any connection with immigration. Really bad manners to mention it old chap.
At all costs the British people must be replaced. We stand in the way of a global business park of rootless, itinerant casual workers. The global project for which Johnson works expects him to do the job. Those pesky Northern mill and pit working-classes will get a few coins thrown to them from the windows of toff Johnson’s motorcade to keep them quiet. It’s straight from Robert Tressell’s “Ragged Trousered Philanthropists”.
One of the things I most admire about the Tories is the manner in which they’ve persuaded a mass of poorer people that because they can afford the odd foreign holiday that they enjoy unprecedented prosperity. It resembles the story told in North Korea about how well off they are compared to the outside. The reality in Britain is nightmare housing costs and a diminishing prospect of any career ladder or security for most. Someone told me recently about a man in Grimsby he’d met who said he was using food banks but thought of Johnson as his kind of person he’d like to see elected.
Metro Labour sold out to globalisation years ago. The Queen gave up decades ago. As David Starkey says, all those red boxes are a waste of her time. UKIP has destroyed itself or been destroyed.
Farage appears to have dumped his latest party after claiming to want to change politics for good. He suddenly abandoned this strategic objective in midstream for the tactical one of getting the Tories elected. They now enjoy a big enough majority to walk on us all and there is no viable opposition.
A third party on the way for Farage? I’m not sure that Nigel, for all his service in getting the referendum, can attract the same level of support for yet another party. It all begins to look too clever by half.
How does Johnson plan to allay dissent following the honeymoon while ensuring that the global plan moves forward? Perhaps ducking and diving along the path but ever on. If it stopped it would go into reverse.
Let’s show we care with the Pickpocket‘s Friend – Virtue Signalling.
More green virtue signalling about saving the world and yet higher heating costs. More police. They will soon be absorbed into the bottomless pit of useless labour bureaucracies are expert in creating or added to the army of watchers for incorrect language. Protecting the people’s feelings. More cash for the NHS. It appears to be a secret that free health care is actually rationed and that the demand for it expands with the supply so don’t expect rapid care.
I think Johnson has learned much from the career of the man whose biography he wrote. Position yourself as a controversial radical who then gets called in when the regulars bring things to a stuttering halt. Be ingeniously verbal and you can get away with stuff. BBB as the expression used to run. Bullshit Baffles Brains.
Churchill’s ‘finest hour’ speech of June 1940 is an instructive example of planting an idea at odds with the facts using soundbites and creating a myth. In that case the imaginary German invasion. Try reading the whole speech. They did not have the shipping.
In Johnson’s case ‘Get Brexit done’ – when the passing of the new treaty – for that is what it is – leaves us in much the same position except with no say and subject to detailed negotiation with ample room for the sneaky clauses the EU is expert in. Try reading the whole agreement – if it ever arrives. But when the treaty passes Parliament you’ll hear the cry ‘BREXIT DELIVERED’ from the roof of the Palace of Westminster.
Above all, remember what Johnson said about the time he got drunk at university and spent a night in the cells. He said he learned about the vast power the state has over the individual.
As our Editor-in-Chief warns, many a slip twixt…
Why has nobody apparently noticed that there is aother global war going on. The wars of religion WAR BY BABY. Islam is winning because it is not fettered by the Bigamy laws of the Catholic Church with its own little repopulation of NI by baby. Islam is only hindered ( well not at all really ) by cruel people who will not allow young chaps to call for multple and future babes and babies….Paved with gold .
This war is going on in every peaceful country on the globe. Just take a look at the rest of the world. From Russia to India, from New Zealand to USA from UK to India from Nigeria to all the little African countries.From Mali to Rohingya, Even China has the problem.
Driven by liberals. And probably Nancy Pelosi.
Are we allowed to notice
Britain’s people must be broken down. No accident that what you talk about has been rocket propelled by the system since globalism began as a concerted affair around 1990. People have not as yet often connected one thing with the other.
One very good thing has come out of the election. As far as public opinion goes, voters backed by a landslide tradition, small c conservatism and Brexit. It will be much more difficult to represent these things as the views of a small and shrinking sect of bigots, racists, far-right really meaning Nazis blahde etc blah. This will not be lost on the army of carpetbaggers who make up most of at least regular politics. Just re-reading Alan Clark’s diaries.
Accurate take on the Tory party and Johnson – particularly on immigration. The Brazilianisation of Britain will get a filip under Johnson.
A Very Good article.
I reckon we can only hope that Farage’s Reform Party can embrace the radical Left (aka George Galloway).
I’m no socialist, and as a Scot I could have a right good political set-to with GG, not least over independence. But we need a credible opposition in GB now that Labour is well farked and the IllibUndems mercifully also.
There is a way back for Labour. New leader who says that whatever the merits of Corbyn’s ideas the public does not want a country like that and Labour has recognised the mistake. Focus on more limited radical changes and on delivering a genuine Brexit as the people demanded. When doubt begins to creep in following the Boris honeymoon people will be crying out for an opposition that looks appealing. Easy peasy! I should get paid for this planning advice!
“He said he learned about the vast power the state has over the individual”. He’s about to give it even more vast, total power. (May Security Treaty, which I think he is about to pass?).
Worth a listen on the above topic:-
Jeff Taylor is always worth listening to. He is right to be sceptical about Johnson’s promises. Time to treat the EU as the enemy it is rather than pandering to it.
The real enemy is within!
Interesting Article Mike. We will see how things develop but I too watch from a position of no confidence in the (partly) new shower in Westminster. We really needed some TBP MPs to stir things up a bit but once again Farage bottled it, or was that the plan all along?
Re immigration, border controls : why does nobody much ever mention, at least by name, the UN Global Migration Compact?
Plus it’s been obvious for decades that the Tories are a heartless cold globalist machine which will sacrifice ordinary folk to the globalist agenda. They’ve always been the main stumbling block to leaving the EU. But they’ve always been consummate con artists which has prevented voters from seeing them for what they are.
UKIP does but unfortunately no-one is listening – not yet at least! I remain eternally hopeful.
The UN as a whole needs de-funding. Not only has it become useless in many areas it would have us controlled by an Orwellian global government with no say in our future.
Jack Thomas : I think the only way we could have escaped the UN’s power in UK, especially re Global Migration Compact, would have been to avoid signing the TMay Security Treaty plus getting clean out of EU. For the EU will surely prove to be the UN’s enforcement agency, with its developing arbitrary criminal justice system, EAW, Europol, and diplomatically immune paramilitary. (Torquil Erikson has written many times about this). But I am certain that BoJo will do neither; Govt is unwilling to challenge or even discuss their view that all this is necessary for “our” “security”, that there is no other way, or that this catastrophic throwing away of our liberties is a price worth paying.
agree – UN migration compact, it’s allbin there and implementedin a white paper by Sajid Javid last year, ready for the day we leave….
So depressing.
I think he was being too clever by half Jack but we’ll probably never know
