"you must believe that reactionary arseholes are whipping up staged hysteria

Yes.. that much to me is highly probable.. to such an extent I find it hard to disbelieve...

But not all those playing a part are reactionary arseholes..

Some are otherwise respectable credible figures, getting swept up in this hysterical smear campaign..
and opening themselves up to being manipulated by the arseholes
to be used to fit in with be seen to add support to their arshole agendas.....


"The subtlety of your use of semantics escaped me as I am anti-semantic"

My excuse is even simpler.. I'm just not very good at writing these days....

It's quarter of a century since I was a post grad student of 'concepts of belief and ideology' .. or some such clever dick humanities field of education..

.. analysis of media and propaganda being a key element...

But that was then....

Now I'm older, worn out by all the negativity and disappointments life throws out and rarely get much free quality time for stimulating thinking...

Though I still trust my judgement to smell attacks intended to destabilise a party
that exists to at least try to fight the odds stacked up against ordinary folks having a fair safe decent standard of living...
