The Strange Death of Labour

I have written before about the Greek concept of hubris, self-destruction brought on by overweening arrogance, and that is what we are seeing with regard to the Westminster parties, but in particular the Labour Party. The Westminster gangsters are so confident in the stupidity of the electorate that they genuinely believed that they could win the referendum by persistently lying and that there would be no consequences. I do not believe for a moment that the poll that gives the SNP 52% will be reflected come polling day, but it is nevertheless significant as to the deep hostility towards Labour and their behaviour towards the Scots over many years now, but with particular reference to their performance in the referendum. It immediately became clear that their promises and assurances were no more than hot air to the extent that polls now show that 1 in 4 and rising of people who voted No are now regretting it.

If you watch the Scots representatives of all Westminster parties it is quite a surreal experience. When asked a question it is as if someone switches a tape recorder on and the same stock phrases and responses come gushing out of empty mouths and empty minds. I cannot believe that anyone is genuinely promoting Jim Murphy as the saviour of the Scottish Labour Party, he is barely articulate and is a clone produced by Westminster. I watched him last night on Scotland Tonight when he told us that he agrees with everything Ed Miliband says and stands for, I mean, that is genuine braindeadness. His mate Anas Sarwar is, if anything worse and, in an interview on Scotland 2014 I counted 5 times in less than 5 minutes that he told us he only wanted to have "a genuine dialogue to move us forward". He was quite incapable of answering any kind of question spontaneously. Moving forward is, to such people, moving to their agenda, anything else is moving in the wrong direction because everything they do , "is the right thing to do" because "there is no alternative".

Politics in the UK is in serious crisis, and, as I have indicated before, the ideological thrust in England is moving, in my opinion, towards a form of fascism. The dominant discourse in England is hatred. Far too many sources of information have made the word 'foreigner' toxic. The tabloid press have stirred the embers of fascist xenophobia into a political movement that sees its expression in UKIP and the right-wing of the Tories. They hate immigrants, they hate Muslims, they hate Europe, they hate the poor, the disadvantaged and have a particular hatred for the disabled. As I have written many times, if you persist in the fallacy that there is no alternative, you are embedding a form of totalitarianism in society. If there is no alternative to something then that thing must be, by definition, true. Thus if I disagree with any course of action for which there is no alternative I am again by definition, wrong. The British better waken up. You have been warned
