OK so fucking election 2019 ok

Didn't want to write any shit about this mess but I have to get it out of my stupid head so I can get on with arsing about on soccermanager and having bad wind.

This is how the Tories got a landslide.


* Policies have been shafted by personality politics.

* Corbyn has been smeared by the media and in social media.

* Labour fucked up when they ought to have fronted up to the first antisemitism reports, and come down hard and quick on them, very visibly. Including Corbyn.

* Labour fucking stupidly voted through Article 50 when they ought to have opposed it loudly and visibly on the premise that WE WILL VOTE IT THROUGH AFTER WE HAVE ALL GOT TOGETHER TO MAKE A GREAT PLAN TO PRESENT TO THE EU OTHERWISE THE EU WILL SHAFT US. Hence, both satisfying the 'we voted democcraceee has spoekekn' idiots as well as the idiots like me going 'yeah ok but what the fuck are we going to do instead and what are we leaving and why'.

Mostly, though, and this is evil genius if ever there was some:

* Corbyn wanted to bring political discourse back into a mature, kinder, gentler arena. Which is lovely. But:

* It's no longer the case that lies are the death knell for a politician. That ceased to be true some years ago, and we learnt nothing from Trump. SO:

* Given that the country distrusts politicians, the Tories/media siezed on this concept to push forward this ultimately winning narrative:

* You can't trust ANY politicians. ALL politicians are liars.

Therefore:

* Boris Johnson, Cummings and all the other fucking weasels could lie with absolute impunity, bare-faced lies including:
                            ** £350 million NHS bullshit on a bus
                            ** Everything else

Somehow, the UK public now distrusts all politicians and policies to such an extent that genuinely progressive policies that redistribute wealth from tax-avoiding companies and undertaxed millionaires toward actual real wages, real healthcare and education, and affordable and enjoyable jobs, have been hooted at as 'unrealistic' and 'pie in the sky'. Where's the magic money tree? They ask. It's in Amazon, isn't it. It's in corporation taxes lower than most of Europe. It's in legal tax loopholes.

But then again, Corbyn is a terrorist sympathiser isn't he?



And we all burn don't we.

We all fucking burn.


That flame has to keep us burning through the dark days to come.

And it will.


Merry Christmas.

And may all get the future they deserve.
