    Got five words for you: Tabloid Press and Social Media.

    Very few here in the UK actually possess the mental facilities to understand what is going on, hence why the most popular pastime is getting drunk and shouting at a screen showing millionaires punt a ball around an overly manicured field for 90 minutes.

    All they know is that after decades of Conservative government and now under Labour, their lives haven’t improved since the 2008 financial crisis. It’s only gotten slightly worse.

    So they fall hook, line, and sinker for far-right grifters who’ll happily serve up easy to understand boogymen to blame all their problems on because these cunts promise radical change as a departure from the managed slow decline the middle neoliberal parties offer.

    In the end, these Gammons will vote for the Sunday Roast and I will take great pleasure laughing openly in their faces.
