O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

[LincsPie]

... if anyone deluded themselves into thinking that we live in a democracy, this is further evidence that, for decades, we live in a dictatorship with a hard core/handful of power struck idiots aided and abetted by a multitued of self-serving controllers at all levels who will never give up
the power of their own little empires. It's the UK version of communism - absolute control; and we can do f-all about it.
Our tin pot 'government' plays about with eveyone else's money; it's peanuts compared to what goes on on the world stage. With covid control fading, the current stick is the climate change nonsense ... trying to frighten everyone into moving in a their desired direction..........

IMHO there is a strata of society, Government and religions whose unspoken aim is to keep the masses subdued so that they can maintain their elevated status. Religion, alcohol and nowadays anything that gives us all a quick dopamine hit like on-line shopping, smart phones or watching Love Island, Strictly, Big Brother will keep us from questioning our masters too closely.

The recent riots showed (and I'm misusing a phrase from somewhere else here) civilization is a mile wide and an inch thick. I bet the authorities were glad when the footy season started and it's coming towards the end of the year. Riots never happen in winter really do they?

It's my conspiracy theory and I'm going to stick to it! LOL.

Plato's noble lie anyone?

Edit: Someone has noticed the addiction theory, but hasn't made the elite controlling of the masses connection, ha, ha:

It sounds like Huxley's Brave New World to me. However, when you drill into facts, how many people out there are legally or illegally medicating? I was shocked when I found out how many people were taking anti-depressants.

... for context and in case you don't know, 0.042% is the amount of CO2 in the earth's atmosphere. If anyone thinks that man made C02 makes any impression on climate atmoshere they are truly conned by the money grabbing scientists and thick politicians.

It doesn't make one iota of difference, this planet earth has trillions upn trillions of natural moving parts, it will do what it will do and it's a Milliband joke that vwe are spending billions to have an effect, it's a Labour con.

The Chagossians are understandably upset at the lack of consultation, but it isn't like they were better off under British rule than they will be under Mauritius. Quite the opposite.

Also Mauritius is far closer to India - who it let open a base - than it is China (India's rival and occasional enemy).

Both the US and India wanted this to happen, it appears.

... absolutely Mr Dug Out. Some don't seem to appreciate we are nowt but a pin prick of life and the absurd inflated egos of scientists, the pharma mob and policians count for nothing...

[OchPie]

Nobody is arguing that the world won't get along ok without us. It's just those last two words that's the issue.

... ? 'for nothing' ??? or 'Labour con' ??? It's not just Liebour, it's all the World Establishment-related bar-stewards who won't give up control...it's the easy life for them, beyond reach, fireproof ...

Labour con i would summise.It rattles these lefty hypocrits (if ochpie is one) when they get caught out and sure enough this liebour lot have, they always was going to trip themselves up getting to the public purse trough, no different thnt the other lot except Boris was a lot more likeable than 2 tier kier.
Rayner's a manc tramp, Cooper is just a foil for her 2nd rate interviewer/bedmate, Reeves is (or will be after the budget) a lying thief, Lammy is a racist and the most incompetent government official ever put there, that's just 4 of them.Out of their depth completly, they should just stick to supporting pro hamas/hezbullah rallies , thats the level they are at nothing more, oh and............ taking the winter fuel allowance from the older folk and giving another 20k to the "train drivers" who are already on 60k.
