21:00 ‘The old world is dying and the new struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters.’ Antonio Gramsci.
Seven days.
It does not get any better.
I think of Gramsci when I watch the news. It feels like the world has been enveloped in a grey blanket of doom. This must not become normal.
And there are so many things that I am sick of this week:
a) the sight and sound of Boris J and PG – just awful – two ridiculous men with ridiculous hair talking hot air out of their sorry backsides. Whoever supports them should hang their heads in shame.
b) the explanantion of why people voted for Brexit and the PG – they didn’t actually want either apparently – they just wanted some attention because they felt neglected. Poor things! Like toddlers having a tantrum. Nothing to do with racism or prejudice apparently – they just wanted their weedy voices to be heard. I suppose it was too much trouble to form a political movement that isn’t racist or prejudiced. Why unite with other people in similar economic conditions when its easier to support a rich men who blames migrants for their troubles?
If you aren’t racist or prejudiced how could you justify voting for someone who so clearly is?
“I just wanted to shake things up,” said one man on the news.
It defies belief.
c) That any judge who explains the legal constraints behind a swift Brexit is politically biased.
The Leave camp argued for Leave in order to bring the country under our control. Yet when someone points out that we do have laws and a Parliament in order for us to keep control, the Leave brigade start to complain. I despair….
d) Nigel Farage
e) That the majority ‘won’ and so we have to just accept it. Well, the Leave campaign was based on lies and the PG and his cronies are making a lot of people very scared right now with their ties to the far right.
‘What comes to pass does not so much because a few people want it to happen, as because the mass of citizens abdicate their responsibility and let things be.’Antonio Gramsci.
I will not let things be. And neither should you.
