The Jubilee Circus The opulence lack of self-reflection, the unabated nostalgia for empire and "the good old days" disturbed me as much as North Korea's annual birthday celebration for their "dear leader."
Thanks, John. You’ve expressed exactly my thoughts throughout this spectacle of debasement by the sheeple. I despair at their complete lack of any intelligent analysis of their true situation in this class-ridden society and their inability to see how their forelock-tugging, fawning adulation just serves to perpetuate the continuing class and wealth divide. Of course, as Starmer, the Establishment shill, also does his bit to gush over this outdated concept of Monarchy, then Labour too sides with those who oppress. The opium of the masses, eh?
Why is it that the sheeple reject the well-constructed thinkpieces such as yours? Because they simply can’t read an erudite and well-reasoned length of text. They can only absorb soundbites and slogans - Tory manipulators in Tufton Street and the shadowy Vote Leave people know this well, which is why they started by capturing mainstream print media, then solidified their base in visual and other broadcast media, so that they can continue to pump out the Kool-Aid. My ears and eyes are offended continuously by the stream of propaganda worthy of North Korea. Now, I have to limit my access so that my rising blood pressure doesn’t actually kill me. I live in constant despair, but take some comfort and relight my small flame of hope when I read the words of like-minded people like you, John. There are others I have found, often out in the Twittersphere, though how long they’ll stay once Musk’s presence begins to show …..? I search avidly through the gloom of the internet to find those other still calm voices who speak truth. Some of the independent journos writing from Ukraine have been illuminating as their factual reporting underscored my overall view of what this proxy war was all about. But people died - and are dying. And in this country, people died and are dying, yet so many silly folk donned ridiculous costumes, waved their flags and uttered their sycophancy …….. and I watch “Animal Farm” and “1984” losing their allegorical status as they play out before my horrified eyes.
Thank you John. There is a stubborn sadness while watching our nations decline. We watch together.

As always spot on. I’m tired of empire guff for the few, and constant stress and worry for the many, and fear of the future for us on welfare.
