I forgot to add, "Did anyone notice Johnson's video shot shovelling a fish supper down his throat"? I'm sure a lotta people perceiving a shambolic buffoon and looking like one. However, IMO there was another cute message in there that this was a "man of the people" - an element of Tory "spin" in this portrayal and definitely still trying to connect with those "red wall" Tory constituents. Make no mistake the Tories need those "red wallers" and yet they are RW extremists of the highest order. The UC removal is just the "tip of the iceberg"; exploiting the Covid crisis to "fill their pockets" and those of their backers/chums is just another example. They have a well-oiled machine (incl 90% of their press/media attached) with parts moving smoothly to engender a sense of duty and patriotic pride, "we are all in this together" (dya remember that line???), and underneath it "all one and the same" - that is to be British, and thus beholden to higher values and considering all ethnic and national groupings inferior. IMO this is not, by any interpretation of the terms, decent, normal or reasonable - it's an extremist agenda motivated purely by the need to retain power, money and influence in the hands of the fewest number of people possible. IMO that is why Corbyn had to be destroyed and why "reasonable" Labour types like Blair and Starmer had to be preserved to maintain the fiction of democratic opposition - playing the designated roles given to them. Apologies for briefly mentioning Scotland in this concept by asking, "Why is it that they don't like us, the Scot electorate"? It's because there are not enough Scots up here who are like them or who are duped by them and that's a fact!! And that is why the prospect of full self-determination for Scotland must not merely be opposed, but crushed by them.
