I am delighted to read that Trumps popularity is taking a shellacking and he his numbers are dropping. A long way to go yet to the election but I have a little more hope that he will be defeated.
I understand that LBC have not renewed Farage’s contract and he will be off the airwaves. This is a man who has done this country irreparable damage, spread disharmony, prejudice and sowed hate when ever he has spoken. He should be consigned to the dustbin of history and I hope the media finally stop speaking to him for good.
If only Johnson and his cohorts could be consigned to the dustbin of history! Let us never forget the transgression of Cummings and the indefensible defence of him by his puppet Johnson!
It is often said that British society is built on tolerance, bollocks. We have a preponderance of giving oxygen to small minded nasty men who want to do nothing more than frighten you and tell you what you should be afraid of! Over my lifetime we have had a succession of them. There are always those whose beliefs and attitudes will need little persuasion of the cause of these men. I always fail to understand how so many others are then sucked into their rhetoric and believe their rubbish.
Society will never be fully agreed over any given situation (vary vary rarely) and that is what makes it so interesting and free. Perhaps we have to have these protagonist in order to shine a light and illuminate the people whose “tolerance” is not so evident and easily swayed.
The current situation is intolerable. I have a mate whose car showroom has been told to close by the Police this weekend. There will be a Black Lives Matter march through the town. They have been advised to board up the windows and move all the vehicles because they fear there will be vandalism? Several things come to mind. Social distancing not a chance. Vandals taking advantage of an opportunity to damage property. One rule for most another for the protesters. The entire thing has become a joke and has been now for some time!
The sudden trend to eradicate all things that might offend someone somewhere perhaps, maybe, has gone to far already. It beggars belief does this mean I can request various things that offend me to be removed simply because that offend me? UKTV have removed the episode of Fawlty Towers with the “don’t mention the war “ theme. Now I’m sure John Cleese wrote that because he hated Germans and wished to remind them that the allies won the war. It is humour and a piss take of Basil Fawlty and characters like him and is actually sympathetic to the German guests!
Stay well
