WARNING: RANT INCLUDING SWEARING AHEAD.
I'm past angry, I am so angry I'm calm. This whole situation is the obvious result of 40 years of the right-wing being on the ascendant. I have never, ever experienced the level of hate and contempt I feel, and it's not even focussed on Johnson, or the Tories. It's everything about the dark side of the human race. That's what we see playing out in Brexit, in capitalism in general. Obviously I hate Johnson the most. I cannot imagine a more contemptible figure - he is an almost perfect embodiment of everything I consider bad about humans.
He's corrupt, narcissistic, lazy, immoral, careless, stupid*/**, greedy, gaudy£... Does that about cover it? And yet, he's simply the frontman for a band made up of all the people nobody could possibly ever like. I nearly called them the Nickelback of politics, but that would be insulting to Nickelback$.
Brexit was economic suicide and the % conservative party is not even trying to revive the corpse. Scotland wants out and I don't blame them one bit as much as I would VASTLY prefer a federation over the union or its breakup.
Today I read a "heartwarming message" from my local mayor or... someone related to that about my town being a freeport. I hope it brings something good to the region but in my heart, I feel like a token government department and an opportunity for rich people not to pay tax is not a fraction of what the region deserves.
The nurses' not-payrise. Never mind how insulting that is, how politically inept, how morally reprehensible - people will still vote for them!
Outrage over an
effigy of the despicable oaf hanging from a wall. The only reason for the outrage is they're scared people will get ideas. In Scotland too? What a surprise.
Propoganda, propoganda, propoganda. From the Billionaire ownership of the UK media all the way through to spending money on lying advertorials telling us Brexit is f.cking^ marvellous when it is crushing businesses everywhere. YAYYY we can trade more with some pissy little island 4000 miles away with whose f.cking oil? Yeah, Scotland's oil....
And do not get me started on the systematic dumbing down of education, the Labour party's obvious inability to not be just the Tory party wearing a different colour, the economic oppression of entire swathes of the country and the exploitation and abuse of entire demographics. Seriously. Don't.
Aaaaaand... rest. *Sigh* Sorry bout the rant.&
* Yes, yes he is! Would anybody else make the catastrophic political and humanitarian blunders he's made? I would be surprised if he even achieved a fail in a class! What he does is less than fail. He's unmarkable. He didn't even turn up for the f.cking exam! He attended four minutes of the first lecture and got distracted by a fly, we never saw him again. Someone kept paying his fees though so, whatevs.
** I am not attacking learning difficulties or disabilities - I would never. I am defining stupid here as wilful ignorance and malicious doing-of-the-wrong-thing.
£ In the sense of dressing like a clown in such a way as to distract from his pure, unadulterated*** evil.
*** not ironic, something else that ought to have a word in English.
$ Not that I care.
% you cannot understand the level of revulsion I feel as I type their name. I am procrastinating from typing it as if somehow saying their name would conjure them in the living room. Great. Now I'm going to have nightmares.
^ May as well, I'm on a roll.
& NOT sorry about the subscripts. I worked - therefore I make you work
