  1. OK There's so much to say about so many events this last week. For me I comment on a few YouTube channels such as NCF. Many of the YT channel's I comment on mainly frame their their content on Critiques of mainstream media representations. Over time, from a few years ago, the YT channel's content also increasingly create their own content in various ways such as here with first person eye witness accounts of the actual events. Now the initial YT content as Critique of mainstream media representation has and is very much in the style of, and from the standpoint of, left and far left methodology. That is from the rise of Journalism in the 19th century (Marx was a journalist of course to start with i think) which attempted to show reality as opposed to the voices of only certain elite interests. In the 20th century journalism as media Critique became increasingly a political tool and even the main site of affordance in political conflict. This is of course the familiar left shift of Gramsci and Critical theory though to late 20th century post modernism(isms). In our early 21st century the left its self shifted to "giving voice" first person accounts of a "reality" behind the mainstream media representations for example with the MeToo and BLM movements. They must have realised: on the one hand, that many now working in mainstream media were university trained in media studies and cultural studies, which lets face it, are trainings in Left Critical Media Studies, Critical Media Theory and so will achieve internal change in mainstream media representations by representing the standpoints of what would become MeToo and BLM; and on the other hand then, obviously, the old frame of a race and gender media Critique of mainstream media would be otiose, or sound absurd. This could be viewed as a two 2 century shift of political Critique via, and in, the media "theatre of conflict" from a class framing critique to a social justice gender/race framing critique. The later position and activity of the left having achieved success in media representation shifting did not result in them returning to a wider class Critique, but in taking this advance of gender and race and pushing further and further with it. This was of course very convenient for the post 1990 New middle class left now in many institutions via and including universities. Since now they can justify there new massive wealth and instituional power by disingenuously claiming to be working for Gender and Race equality. in this they have used the media representation of the whole world via the schemas of Gender and race, feminism(s) and post Colonialism(s). I mean they might live in 3 million pound houses in north London but they are for the women and the minorities from a planetary stand point. It might look absurd that a rich white women or rich person of colour is now attacking the schema left outs of white and poor white men, but hay, from a planetary standpoint, there are an endless infinite supply of horrors metered out to women and people of colour from around the world to cherry pick. They just avoid representation of the inter-racial minority conflicts in Civil wars in Africa for example, or the treatment of women in some of these countries with leaders of colour. Of course then "right and conservative" media Critique will point out these contradictions omissions and selections of left media critique, but increasingly do this from a de facto standpoint point of "white working class man." that is not from an original position but from the position left out by the lefts race and gender Critique. But this has lead the rights and conservatives to the easily anticipated contradictions, where "white working class men" are to be represented by very rich white men, and politically it has set the white man against the white women, and the white man against the men of colour theoretically or media schematically any way. The adoption of too much of the lefts long march strategy ahs made white working class men easily re-respresented as if misogynist and racists theoretically and according to the left media schematically. That was not a mystical prophesy of mine years ago it was obvious to anyone familiar with the new left that this was going to happen. Two things seem possible or are even potentialities from this: a) the right and conservative middle class elite want "all non lefty woke staunch white working class men" to prove their metal and their anti international tradition of hard labour by adopting low welfare policies (because welfare is for wimps and mostly serves the interests of single women with children and minorities), or worse a call up to fight against left and liberal internationalism and other possible empires; and internally related to this as policy b) low taxation. I even get the feeling the middle class and rich in the Right and Conservatives have many shared common interests with their counterpart middleclass so called woke left liberal middleclass in this. The left then have created a parallel, or mirror image schematic trap that the right and conservatives have either fallen into, or adopted for their own ends ends anyway: that of the absurdity of "white working class men" thinking the middleclass liberal Right and conservatives are really acting just to "represent" those working class interests. I'm sorry, even with all the talk of what is it to be British and English, the flag waving, the speech's about medieval England, I don't believe it.

  2. Part 2: I mean the BBC and so on, “seem to me”, that is “in my opinion”: have so over egged the anti-working class white man, and the pro women and minority schema, as it seems to me we are forced to “protest too much”? Some recent evidence to follow below The Telegraph: Nigel Farage announcement: “Reform UK has said it will abolish inheritance tax for estates worth under £2 million in a pledge that increases pressure on the Conservatives to promise their own changes. The current threshold for inheritance tax is £325,000, although there are some exceptions for family homes. Reform is also proposing to reduce the rate at which the tax is applied, from the current 40 per cent level to 20 per cent. In reality, the policy will not be implemented after the general election, given that Reform has no prospect of becoming the governing party. But its position will add to pressure on the Tories to promise an inheritance tax cut – something they have considered but not delivered in office. The Conservatives have been attempting to win back voters tempted by Reform, a party to the Right of them, with policies including the return of national service. Continue reading But Nigel Farage’s surprise decision to take over the Reform leadership and run as a candidate to be the Clacton MP is undercutting that drive, and the first poll since his return put Reform just two percentage points behind the Tories. Earlier this week, some Tory candidates urged Rishi Sunak to free middle class families from inheritance tax by raising the threshold to £5 million. Mr Sunak has focused his recent tax cuts on National Insurance.” I mean the middle class left will of course complain but their elite will agree with this out of self interest. Also in the Leaders Debate on the question of sending their kids to private school Rishi Sunak said he would while Starmer said he wouldn’t. It’s a interesting wedge question but is also a token of many similar types of question, with many standpoint from which and though which to view it, and them. I was surprised the left YouTube lots didn’t pick up on this as a take away, but they wouldn’t would they as they can do the substantively same exceptionalism by other means. I means I herd 20 or 30 years ago in the initiation of gentrification of large parts of London by the middleclass liberal left “entryism” into conservative and right elite house price capital, metropolitan and suburban geography, that the key was the nabourhoods and the main parts of this was the schools in those areas. I even hear then discussing coordinated entry into poor housing areas on mass and then effectively transforming the schools to their wishes via taking over the councils since schools had much more council representation on their board with more power over the running of the schools. In this they could expand on the 1980’s liberalisation of the Comprehensive school system, and create silos of execeptionalism. Its similar to Keynes Multiple applied to private investment, or the share buying grift where if enough people buy shares in a failing company the share price goes up, a priori, regardless of the performance of the company. The middleclass maxim of collective movement always bet with the table. The middleclass left then don’t need to send their kids to private school to enjoy substantively the same exclusivity and transit economic walls of class division, and exceptionalism.

  3. Part 3: I followed Respublica early on because Philip Blond of “Red Tory” was there and this was my first experience of real politics other than going on street protests with far left. I mean I was with them but told them I didn’t disagree with them but also I didn’t jsut agree with them I was wanting to observe politics in action in 2009 I think it was. I left them a short time after and long before all the Banking Bailout Riots of 2011 that I had absolutely no part in indeed disagreed with. I Knew long in advance would be taken over by the highly experienced and organised middle class feminists and far left woke lot. But even I was surprised when one of ‘em through a fire extinguisher of off the roof of a Central Conservative buildign onto their own crowd bellow. Remember that one? It was ok though, he had long hair and was at university I think. I first got an inkling of the left far left and right and conservative coming into agreement with the creation of Citizen London, initially out of I think, the bring together of various middleclass socialist and religious charities. It was expanded to Citizen UK shorty after and all the political leaders were involved with it. It was to become part of Cameron’s proposed “Big Society” Roll Out but the minister appointed became very ill. I post this account, it is my own work and Critique, but I hope it might give voice and content and structure to the claims by a few people that I talked to at two of the NCF conferences. That was outside while having a smoke they said independently of each other things like “I have no party to go to”. “Feel I belong nowhere”. I hope I have given respect to their conversations, even though they have not solicited me to do this, but I do agree with them.

  4. Note: if you search YouTube for Tommy Robinson (most recent/over 20 mins) you get "How The Light Gets In" (2024). I wouldn't bother, bothering about them botherers. Being there, encountered the "£$£$£%"'s on Reception, came back wom. Caveat: It's just my subjective opinion though. Of course.

  5. Note 2: On Rishi Sunak leaving the "International D-Day 80 Commemoration" early, i watched some of it and I'm fairly sure that there was a series of parachute drops by people from different countries, and that only the British parachutists had to have their passports checked after they landed. it neds fact checking cos i wasn't taking notes. What i did see of it i didn't like for several reasons aesthetically, among them. You know if I'd have been their i would like to have thought i would be able to just walk off. Not an easy ask for a PM with all the incongruent formality of the thing. Maybe he booked a prior appointment so as to have a thinly veiled excuse to leave should the obligation arise when there. I stress i couldn't get though much of it though.

  6. Note 3: i thought i could just dip in to the "Lawfare" two tier protests and then get out quick and return here. They have a documentary though that is interesting but needs much Reflection and Critique that i am in the process of doing in comments there. But I've got three days to catch up on especially the second debate, that i haven't even seen all of it yet. I'm probably going to go on defending Sunak for having the metal to just get up and come back home. I have to check that my view of the i-national ceremony was really as bad as it looked to me on watching a bit of it and especially on finding out they made the British parachutists sign in with their passports on arrival. The parts i could stand to watch looked like a terrible beauty to me. My first impression is he can legitimately claim something like "the exception" and just abandon EU and i-national protocol, even knowing the predictable and easy, if disingenuous, obvious politicised accusations, his exceptional act will draw. Staunch! I'm only up to 14:00 minutes in here but i've got to do another spur first to check into the above details and then the second debate, which from the bit i saw had been a pile on Sunak. If i am wrong, on finding out more, then i will revise my judgement of course.

  7. At 36:00 mins Lewis Brackpool says he hopes for the General Election result of a a hung parliament and he is pro Proportional representation. Well let me say "hope for" is appropriate because no one can vote for a hung parliament. Already that means a responsibility problem w.r.t voters, but also in hung parliament no particular party or MP is responsible. It also allows a lot of pick and mix on the manifesto's so a program that could be disordered on the one hand, or even that if some parties predict this as a possibility they can propose some policies in advance with the intention of them fitting together. A kind of legal conspiracy against people's collective consent to a particular manifesto. For example you know in the leader debate on ITV they claimed that all the questions asked came from viewers. Now with mobile phones this will generate a vast number of different questions that the ITV team can pick from. It's only the semblance of a peopels choice. Hell members of the ITV team could even send in their own questions as private citizens. That would be a bit stupid though because they might get caught. They can be clever than this. Maybe in a hung parliament people hang together in a general way, and the hang men and women are not on their own hanging list, or even named as the hangers. they have hoods of course. We are after Freedom of speech in the park not a return to to the Tilbury Gallows (i think that correct)

  8. Lewis Brackpool PR continued. I nearly forgot coalition "governments" tend to make it difficult to get rid of those at the top. (Schumpeter's first Principe of democracy: "to be able to kick the scally wags out") i mean the same team leaders jsut stay there election after election, but find your own examples they are everywhere near and far. Democracy starts to look like just a small scale company hire and fire of its less important management team. the Election as jsut a bit of Human Resources middle management rearrangement. Its like the manifesto pick and mix in terms of ministers and projects. Tactical changes every five years as the Overton window shits

  9. I'm some way though watching the mainstream media coverage of the second debate, and, as i expected, they all do a pile on, on the debate pile on, on Richi Sunak over him leaving before the end of the International Ceremony. Just watch the International Ceremony and ask your self is this Remembrance and Respect for those of that War Time Generation or are they just using them, without perhaps their fully informed consent, or of course any form of tacit consent, for their own contemporary politicians. You know, to be brutal, you fight a War for freedom, and then 50 years later the totalitarian middle class use you for their own self interested purposes, that even if your are still alive you wont understand. Europe is perhaps changing and the New sublime image is horrifically beautiful with all the little kids singing the white lights the abduction of the past for use in the present. I ought to just say i don't think, that we don't have, serious geopolitical problems now, i just think D-Day 80 should have been allowed to Let Be, not utilised its disrespectful. You know "geopolitical" wasn't even a word in the 193Os. Sunak has the political problem of how to Criticise this though, especially since the "Ubiquitous Left" and their "New Rights based Right" have been trying to disrupt the Conservative Party in power for 14 years. They have tried to make him politically weak, by all kind of means at their disposal. And the art of Rhetoric warns you not to speak to far over your real power. Like a lecture i saw the guy was proper Ciceronian powerful stuff, but the camera pans out and like only three people are in the audience. Anyway Sunak is doing an interview i believe on this today or tonight. Remember he is not free to say exactly what he wants, politicly power limits speech here. Maybe he can do an Alethia type thing, let it show its self, let it shine. The audience will have to try and wax their ears against the endless hegemonic media and heteronymous politicians pile on. It will be like that funny movie "The Aristocats", if my dyslexia is not playing me up this morning. The audience will have to try and wax their ears against the endless hegemonic media and heteronymous politicians pile on. It will be like that funny movie "The Aristocats", if my dyslexia is not playing me up this morning, or the old YouTube RV Sales Video "Winnebago Man". If I'm not disrespecting them by my abductive use of their stuff they made years ago here? But by purpose is not self interest of partisan political interest is just reflection and Critique. Does that make it ok then? This message has not been funded or supported by the Conservative Party.
