Do we think now that Boris has set such incredibly low standards of behaviour, those that follow will treat these levels as the new normal? That is my biggest fear

@lVideoWatcherl Жыл бұрын

Aren't they already? If any Tory had any integrity, wouldn't they immediately have punished Johnson for spitting in the face of the british public by partying when he instated rules whereby people couldn't even visit their dying family? I See it as you fear it; they have seen what opportunistic and immoral reign can achieve, and they have positioned themselves under these conditions instead of doing the right thing and axing Johnson, nay, never letting him hold power. Remember that it is an institution which allowed him to be what he was, and protected him far beyond what is decent. This is _definitely_ an institutional problem.

If you think it has been bad, grit your teeth it is going to get a whole lot worse ,and there will be nothing anyone can do about it, all of this rant of O'Brian is based on his hatred of BJ ,for he was perhaps the man responsible for Brexit . The war in Ukraine ,the pandemic , the immigration problem, lack of productivity , the ever climbing welfare bill . Inflation. None of these factors are the fault of BJ. He took us out of EU then went to a party when he should not have done . All the rest is BS not BJ O'Brian is part of the same hypocrisy.

@uweinhamburg Жыл бұрын

"Couldn't believe my own eyes" Doublethink is a process of indoctrination in which subjects are expected to simultaneously accept two conflicting beliefs as truth, often at odds with *their own memory or sense of reality*. "To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself-that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word-doublethink-involved the use of doublethink." Right!

Once the rot seeps in it's VERY hard to excise. Without a strong conservative and a strong liberal party who can reason together and compromise it's impossible for a democracy to thrive and continue. I mourn for both our countries and hope that people will wake up an elect competent, responsible leaders on both sides.

Yes he has gone, but Johnson was just a small problem amongst so many. He leaves a country that is hurtling toward breakdown and penury. You asked the question "...how do we repair this burnt out house that is the UK..." You said no-one knows, and you are right. We will struggle along with our ideas of exceptionalism, and with the sheep of our electorate bleating on with the belief that we will always come out on top, and we will gradually take our place outside Europe, outside the G7, with a shrunken economy and a nasty, hatred filled media that will still be blaming immigrants and those who wanted to be part of a wider Europe. Where are the statesmen who can take charge? They don't exist, and because of that I feel utterly hopeless for the future and it hurts me to say that the last vestiges of pride in my country have now been carried off by the crooked spineless people in power today. Well you can keep it. I'm off.
