An Overwhelming Narrative. Propaganda by Omission.

I've signally refused to cover the election much, because I think all of those on the leave side of Brexit all know what they need to do. It's simple: get Boris back in (for all his faults) but also get the Brexit Party in Parliament to nudge the Brexit process in the right direction.

Anyway, today on Polling day, I want to point out something that isn't.

That's not a grammatical error, I'm talking about something that isn't in the news, isn't being reported online, isn't in the papers, it just isn't in the media at all.

I'm talking about citizen protests. Not just the Gillet Jaune protests and now general strike in France or even the Protests in Hong Kong and the massive amounts of unrest there, but protests in South America, in the Middle east and in Asia.

They just aren't being reported, so ask yourself why that is?

Why are we not being shown the daily struggles of people across the globe against tyrannical governments?

The reason is they don't want us, the great unwashed of the UK rising up against the  pressures from the big corporations. Pressures to allow cheap labour into the country, the pressure to allow corporations to book tax offshore at a cheaper rate, the pressure to allow big corporations to make the rules and stifle competition.

We are being fed propaganda, not overtly, but covertly. By omitting reports on these protests against lowering of working class standards across the globe, we are not getting the picture that this is a global issue, it's a problem caused by the big corporations. No, we get to think the lowering of wages and living standards is an entirely local phenomenon.

Lest we get a bit uppity and start to revolt.

I mean, you can't even criticise an MP in the street these days without getting arrested.

The working class are a majority in this country and we need to start flexing our atrophied muscles, we need to reclaim our country, our standards and our rights. We must not listen to the elite who say those goals are dependent on the whim of the EU. We have the power to claim those rights without the EU. We do not need their beneficence to bestow rights upon us. We were born with those rights, forged through centuries of struggle.

I suppose, in the end this post is about the election. We need to give the elite a wake-up call.

The Northern Powerhouse: How Northern Voters hold Sway in the 2019 Election.

With a week to go to the election, a very curious scenario is unfolding.

Northern voters, who predominantly vote Labour have so far been ignored by the Labour party. It seems Labour is just taking the Northern labour vote for granted.

But Northern Labour voters (who also predominantly voted Leave) have a huge amount of power in this election. They have the power to ditch Labour's remain policies for one election at least and give a huge boost to the Leave cause. By not voting Labour and instead voting for the Brexit party they have a colossal amount of power to upset the political Apple cart.

If the Northern Labour voters voted for the Brexit party, the Brexit party could gain a number of seats in Parliament. Even if it was a protest vote and only for one term, it would send a shockwave through the political establishment. An establishment that steadfastly refuses to acknowledge the working class Northern voter.

This is a chance to give Corbyn's Labour a swift kick in the goolies, grab their attention and hopefully make them mend their working class ignoring ways.

Only a handful of Northern seats turned over to the Brexit party will not only hurt Labour, but it will also send a message to the Tories. The DUP held quite a sway over the Tories for the last three years with only 8 MPs. If the Brexit party had a similar number of MPs, it could significantly change the outcome of Brexit and sway the Tories to a no-deal scenario and we can be free of Europe immediately, rather than the long drawn out Brexit in Name only that is planned for the next half-decade.

The Labour party are frightened of the Northern Labour voters understanding what power they have, that's why they've ignored them and left them to vote Labour as they assume they always have done. The sense of entitlement, the arrogance is palpable.

The best example of which is Barrie Gardiner. The smarm, the presumptuous attitude, the sense of entitlement that oozes from the man should put any working class voter off the guy.

Nope. If you live in the North, for this one time only, vote Brexit party instead of Labour.

Send a message to all the parties that you want a proper Brexit, send the people into Parliament to help get that done and finally send a message to the Labour party that you will not vote for a party that ignores you and assumes you will vote for them regardless how badly they treat you and how badly they work against your interests.

Do not be a useful Labour-voting idiot.

Beware False Brexit Idols...

It seems Labour are shit scared of the Leave-voting (previous) Labour supporters switching to the Brexit party, so they are now making more definite noises about Brexit policy and what Labour would do.

Let's be clear: a vote for Labour is a vote to remain. Just like a Lib-Dem vote. Maybe Labour aren't as clear on the subject, but let ME be clear:

Labour haven't taken Remain off the table, so it remains a viable option in any future referendum. Also, if they get into power, would negotiate a new, supposedly better deal and then the majority of Labour MPs would campaign during a second referendum campaign against the deal that they themselves negotiated, because they feel the UK would be better within the EU. As nonsensical as that seems.

What Labour's policy is, is a back-door attempt to remain.

The Lib-Dems, are quite clear that they would revoke article 50 without a referendum, instead relying on the mandate of the general election win to reverse the referendum result of 2016.

Labour instead would have a people's vote or second referendum, with options to remain and any number of leave options. Thereby splitting the leave vote and artificially generating a remain result.

Instead what we should be hearing from ANY party offering a second referendum is to offer a referendum on leave only. The LEAVE/REMAIN issue was settled in 2016: we voted to leave.

So now the issue should progress and move on: we voted leave, so what leave option do we prefer?  Do we like any deal that the government negotiates with the EU, or do we reject the deal and go for a clean break and sever ties with Europe immediately?

Instead of taking no-deal off the table, MPs should have taken remain off the table. The fact that all the actions of MPs over the past 3 years was exactly the opposite, tells you volumes on where the majority of Previous MPs stood. They all want to be tied to Europe and will negotiate the worst deal in order to make being in Europe appear better than being outside.
