But Trump always looks ridiculous. Starmer just looks kind as he is helping out an elderly man. This is the reality.

I am not big on flags. They lead to the tendency to try and divide us and project false patriotism. There is no future on that. We are always better off working and living together.

Hi. I think they will buy you flight and hotel if you get there for the knockouts. Desperate.

Ofwat, Ofcom, Ofsted - The illusion that regulators have real power needs to be brought to end. They are all barriers to improvement.

I agree. This is where far right radicalisation gets you. Denying the epistemology of this branch of knowledge when you know it helps learning. The totem of this teacher is not knowledge but control to pass exams.

And of course the Tories, Farage, Reform and other proto fascists really do not care about vulnerable working class girls wherever they live. In fact, they have done anything to make the conditions better for the predator.

His mechanism has gone. He doesn't know which way is up. He is little different to the paranoid fantasists that cling to weapons for fear of phantoms in the dark. What a way to live your life.

This is a good analysis of the nature of fascism and populism and where they overlap. The problem is disaster and apocalyptic nationalism, and even nihilism will always seek the logic of structure and frameworks of authority - eventually. The authors and leaders will always wish to prevail.

Really good for challenging the beguiled and credulous. Be warned - it doesn't always work.

It is philistinism as public policy.

One of the real tender spots for the far right is that they just aren't funny and they know it. They have no genuine, self deprecating sense of humour. To quote Billy Bragg, they are ' the sort of blokes that only laugh at their own jokes...'

Reform are a populist vehicle for the ego of Farage. When pushed on policy, numbers and money they come apart and and he becomes aggressive. The useful fools beguiled by Farage will not have a clue.

A far right coup by the Maga cult endorsed by the evangelical extremists desperate for a theocratic state.

It is a false debate and Labour need to make the economic and intellectual case for immigration. There has to be a rational position from the government on this. Anything else is indulging the Brexit fantasists and exploiters.

But a Labour government should be offering an alternative. You oppose the far right. You do not capitulate to them. Have we learned nothing from 2016?

When the Reform voters don't get a carer they will be very cross and still think immigrants are taking all the jobs.

The only people living parallel lives are those that want to live in a mythic England that never existed and have become victims of their own fantasy.
