“Sir Beer” ante portas: the fond dream of the MSM

 

It’s the day after the people have spoken, some, that is, and only locally. As predicted, the Tories lost, Libdems and Lab won: so far, that is. Most local councils, so very concerned about the welfare of their council workers, only start counting this morning. It’s just another sign for the importance of elections: vote counts are tedious because nothing really changes. Since only 67 or so of 200 councils in England have declared at the time of writing, there’s no news yet of turnout.

In ‘other’ news we read in the FT that the Bank of England will raise interest rates to 1%, warning that inflation will rise to 10% and that we’re facing a recession (paywalled link). Will that become the next ‘Big Fear’ thing? Looking at this morning’s headlines in the print editions (link) it would seem so. The ‘Mirror’ has already started the ‘Big Wail’ by crying ‘why won’t they help?’, meaning the PM and Sunak.

Perhaps someone ought to explain to the Mirror and to all other MSM writers that all the goodies to which “we” have become entitled will have to be paid for, including the ‘Rolls Royce of civil services’ and the military material we’re giving away. Well, there’s one piece of ‘good news’: the Sun informs us that the FA will keep that footie ‘anthem’. Phew. Life wouldn’t have been worth living if they hadn’t …

Meanwhile nobody in the Westminster MSM is drawing attention to the simple fact that thanks to sanctions the economies in western countries are already feeling the pinch of recession and inflation. The German online paper ‘Die Welt’ (link, use machine translation) had lots of reports on this phenomenon this morning, with business people and even some politicians pointing this out. 

“We” are of course living on the blessed island of ignorance where such things as food shortages don’t matter because surely Sunak will heed the howls of the economically illiterate and somehow give us back a bit from the money we’re already paying into the Treasury coffers. How this will help when there’s simply not enough food being produced – well: it’s voodoo economics.

Meanwhile the obligatory reference to the Ukrainian war must be mentioned. The Times has a ‘report’ that Russian generals ‘are turning on each other’ because that war isn’t going as western military analysts have predicted. None other than nice Mr Wallace said so (link, paywalled), so it must be true. The DM duly copied that piece of ‘news’, garnished with an observation by the current Chief of Defence Staff, Admiral Radakin (link).

I had no idea that “we” had so many spies left in Moscow, with privileged access to what Mr Putin really thinks. Of course, in order to keep our ‘war fear’ interest going, the usual ‘human interest’ stories have to be written as well. There’s the ongoing drama of that Azovstal industrial plant and The Times has produced the most despicable headline yet, taken right out of the Goebbels playbook:

“Mariupol civilians trapped in Azovstal being exterminated by Russia, fighters warn” (link, paywalled)

“Exterminate” – no, our warmongers don’t have that in a smaller size. It’s tedious to have to repeat that our hacks omit mentioning yet again that those ‘heroic’ fighters have been told repeatedly that they only have to surrender to save themselves and those remaining civilians.  It’s even more tedious to point out that the Russians have again and again, for day after day, opened ‘humanitarian corridors’ for civilians but that those fighters prefer to hide behind those human shields. 

It’s becoming more and more difficult to find out what is really going on. After all, most of us simply do not have the time to scour the internet for relevant data, for unbiased reporting. Not even contrary opinion pieces are permitted in our propaganda outlets. You might like to read this article – it is an opinion piece but well documented and is and antidote to the official propaganda line the west’s MSM are inundating us with.

Today is yet another day where I feel as if we’re living in cloud-cuckoo-land. The real problems affecting our lives are not being addressed. The Westminster swamp dwellers are giving us theatre performance after theatre performance, duly and uncritically reported by their MSM mouthpieces, without any regard to the reality we experience.

Sadly, we who are relying more and more on alt media, shunning those ‘official’ tales, are nonetheless condemned to live under the same conditions as those who have blithely given up their facility for critical thought, from masks wearing and submission to multiple jabs to ‘war with Russia’.

We have to live with the economic fall-out as well as those who already demand “Sunak must help”, in the face of inflation, recession and the predictable food shortages. The Germans are already starting to hoard flour … odd, isn’t it, that our MSM haven’t produced images of empty supermarket shelves so far …

Yesterday’s local elections are just another item on the list of discrepancies between what the MSM propagandists are telling us is important and our real lives. These local elections have been gleefully turned into “let’s kick BoJo where it really hurts”, with no reports on how the rise in council taxes has affected us. I’m not aware of any reports on the exorbitant salaries for top local ‘CEOs’, on wastage, on the local costs of installing ‘green’ cycle paths rather than looking after the crumbling local roads.  

The best example for biased reporting and for MSM Westminster editors aiming insidiously for ‘regime change’ here at home, is the top photo gracing “Metro” in the BBC’s compilation (link). It shows scruffy Johnson, dog on lead, leaving the polling station, juxtaposed to a photo of sunny Sir Beer Starmer, hand-in-hand with his wife, strolling down a street. 

Yes, dear friends: a ‘new broom’ in No 10 will heal all our woes! He’ll see to it that there’ll be flour in the supermarkets and petrol in our cars, that we’ll have gas to heat our homes and that there won’t be any NHS waiting lists any longer. If that’s not happening we can always blame Putin.

Under “Sir Beer’s” guidance there will always be sunshine, it’ll only rain during the night. There’ll be flowers and rainbows on demand and every household will receive a real, live unicorn … and we’ll all live happily ever after in la-la-land.
