I normally cannot be bothered with general elections and try to avoid watching politicians lie through their teeth every time they appear on TV. I know what I am going to vote and know why I am doing it, and I most certainly do not need help from any politician or political commentator to interpret reality. However, this election is different and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
When the Mayhem first called the election it was obvious that the Tories would have to put in a superhuman effort to try to lose it and they are actually managing to do just that. Now I am not saying that they are not going to win, but they are haemorrhaging support and public trust with a speed that has shocked everyone and a Labour victory, or at least a hung parliament, is now a distinct possibility. The great unknown in the election is if enough of the English electorate are actually noticing what is going on between watching reality TV and blaming immigrants for everything. What is undeniable is that there can no longer be any debate over my repeated assertion that Mayhem is thick and quite stupid. She is demonstrating that with every passing moment. I never thought anyone could challenge Boris the Spider for gold medal imbecility but the Mayhem is giving it a good shot. What is also demonstrable is that she is not only stupid but incompetent.
The other thing that is now undeniable is the madness of King Donald. It is heartening that throughout the United States elected officials are denying Trump and condemning him over climate change and for his attitudes towards London's Mayor, Sadiq Khan. When a coalition of states and city mayors are denouncing him on such diverse matters, his presidency is in real trouble. So many people in the US are now distancing themselves from his demonstrable insanity and telling him, not in my name. If only we had politicians in this sad nation with half their courage, as the Tory Party in Britain still go out of their way to suck up to him and refuse to criticise him. What America needs is an ideological revolution to heal the scars left by their addiction to the concepts of the free market and individualism and open their eyes to the Republican poison that has seeped into all their democratic institutions including the Democratic Party. That is what has changed in Britain. Thatcher claimed that her greatest legacy was Mad Tony and it is only now that Labour are realising that they had actually become Tories under a different name, something I have been telling you for the past five years. They are now wakening up. I have just watched a CNN news programme where four US commentators all agreed that the Republican Party, led by a president who is completely out of control, have lost the ability to walk and chew gum at the same time. That is a very American metaphor. Until they come to terms with both these fraudulent concepts they will not be able to solve their fundamental structural problems, both economic and political, as it was the result of such problems stemming from their adherence to those concepts that led to the Donald in the first place. A major problem for Americans is that they do not recognise that this is a problem. If Americans had the courage to sup with the devil and consult Marx they would understand that their political, social and ideological flaws arise from their flawed economic base. But I have no confidence that Americans will ever consider consulting Marx, as they suffer from a serious ideological barrier, an irrational allergy that has no real foundation.
However, the good news in Britain is that this election should sound the death knell for the free market economic experiment and finally bury the legacy of Thatcher. The British are not as wedded to the concept of individualism as the Americans and our social cohesion has actually been strengthened by the recent terrorist attacks. So free market appeals to individualism are falling on deaf ears. I have to mention the American singer Ariana Grande whose Manchester concert was targeted for attack. I had never heard of this young lady and had to consult my 10 year old granddaughter who enlightened me. Her response has been to her great credit and she has contributed to a sense of community and cohesion that must shame our political leaders. It took courage to return to Manchester and host a benefit concert, it also took considerable organisation. Perhaps she should go into politics.
I accept that this post has been a bit rambling and all over the place, but there is so much to say on all these issues and people don't want to read a dissertation. The only thing for sure is that this election is not going the way anyone, including the Kommirat, expected it to. That is a good thing. You have been warned.
