Detournement Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Ireland will do as they are told. The thing to take from this is that a corporatist French President with huge media support is proposing EU reform and everyone immediately thinks no chance. That pretty much proves the chances of genuine progressive reform from the left are zero. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the MSM see him as a joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that will add to the feeding frenzy of the media on all things medical these days. If people are really serious about health then they will really need to stop voting for political parties which continue to 'invest' in nuclear weaponry and pathologically turn a blind eye to tax dodging on an industrial scale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer....and this has just struck me.....is that they're not. Regardless of any evidence or common-sense placed in front of them, millions of people will keep on believing what they want to believe. Any they'll never, ever change. Dog- whistle politics wins out, because the lowest common denominator is all that millions are capable of understanding. Or believing that they understand.

There's a significant number who have the economic and political understanding of an amoeba. Had one moron who argued that I was wrong about Switzerland having a relationship with the EU - despite the 7 Bilateral I agreements and 3 Bilateral II agreements that confirmed Switzerland's Schengen membership. You could put facts till you are blue in the face and they will says it's lies. It's Trump-like denial of the worst kind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sallow faced, sweaty, bit unwashed looking and banging on people's doors at 5am like that's normal. It's just so terribly, terribly sad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 DUP reaffirming that they won’t back May’s deal with the changes that are not going to happen. This will make it far more difficult for her to get her deal over the line. Meanwhile a Labour shadow minister is trying to organise against a second referendum despite it being Party policy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
