As protests continue outside a hotel housing asylum seekers in Epping, we assess claims made by shadow housing secretary @JamesCleverly about the government's use of asylum accommodation.
Here's what we know about the number of asylum hotels in operation. https://t.co/fXlWMpQp0N
Look, I feel again I need to wind this back and do a more measured explainer for folks who are entangled in the terminologies that are quite deliberately being thrown in our paths and used to divide us.
There is, frankly, no ‘Left’ or ‘Right’ wing anymore. There is only the Ultra Rich against the rest of us. The Ultra Rich are Libertarians to a man (and always men). American Far Right Libertarianism grew out of the defeat of the South in the American Civil war. It is a very long story that spans a hundred years but essentially they developed methods to use ‘free markets’ as a form of control.
Strictly speaking Libertarianism is the church of me me me. The final boss of Conservatism. It preaches the absolute destruction of the state and the replacement of it by private companies. Sound familiar? None of the recent crop of foul Tories were actual Conservatives they were Libertarians, which is why you’d often see older Tories speaking out against them.
Libertarians are on the spectrum of the Far Right and it has little and often nothing at all to do with racism. When I use the words ‘Far Right’ and even ‘Nazi’ I am referring to the Ultra Rich Libertarians who are using the techniques of the old school Nazi party to whip up support and power for them to enrich themselves even further.
The German Nazis did exactly the same in the 1930s. They whipped up a frenzy of racist froth, they claimed they were censored and were only ‘speaking freely’ and were victims of ‘communists’ and many other very familiar things - but behind it all was always wealth, big business and personal enrichment.
So when I say ‘Nazi’ you might immediately think ‘hey! I’m not a racist!’ And I never said you were! But this serves the Ultra Rich perfectly. Like that meme of Murdoch saying ‘that immigrant wants your cookie’. Whatever disarray and chaos they can sow - well - few of us need much help in that regard.
So yes! Many nazis were racists, but many were not. The worst of them had no ideology at all they just pretended to be hateful to control the narrative and gain power. You see - about 20 years ago Conservatism started to dwindle in both the USA and the UK (and further) so to shore their power up the Conservatives opened Pandora’s Box. They courted ‘The Far Right’.
And once again - a fluid area. ‘Far Right’ means lots of things but one thing is certain - the planetary shift to the Right has very VERY much changed where the centre used to lay. This is known as ‘The Overton Window’ and I will explain that more in the comments.
You might see yourself as a very reasonable Conservative, but I am afraid your leaders abandoned you a long long time ago, and you fractured and splintered all over the place. A good analogy would be for example 'Centrist' Labour seeing themselves losing and turning to the communist party for help. Not Jeremy Corbyn - something like the North Koreans or Chinese.
Because understand this more than anything - America is not your friend. The Tories turned to a foreign power. More than one. You’ve watched their TV all your life and eaten their manky burgers but they are a different country my friend. And when the British Tories turned to America, and incredibly, RUSSIA for help as their core voters got older and they got weaker - they sold you out to foreign powers. Because selling is all they know.
Ultra Rich Libertarians are not all American - although nearly all of them have USA passports. Only perhaps Putin himself is the sole Libertarian without one. But it is the Libertarian Ultra Rich dividing us. It is the Libertarian movement behind the Far Right. It is they who can afford to create new political parties out of thin air. ‘Grassroots’ being the give-away word (they never are) and of course then there is ‘Free Speech’.
You’ve been fooled by American Libertarians about what ‘Free Speech’ means. ‘Freedom’ is at the end of a gun if you have precious oil. ‘Freedom’ is to be free only of oversight, regulation and consequence. Oh and taxes. They hate taxes. Who doesn’t? But I mean - I don’t like the dentist but I’d be deranged never to go to one. ‘Free Speech’ is nothing to do with censorship it’s about not being held accountable for what you say. There is a reason pedophiles don’t stand up in a pub and start telling you what they like because it is grossly unacceptable in every way. “Yeah but I should be free to say what I like!” - No. Sorry no. You don’t. What you would ‘like’ to say and what you ‘should’ are completely separate. The Libertarian scheme behind the ‘free speech’ paradox is entirely about controlling the discourse through chaos. If we are all bickering with each other about terminology we barely notice when they rob us all blind, change all the laws in their favour and erode our rights until nothing is left.
Have you not noticed everything is 4 times more expensive?? Have you not seen how much discord and disarray there is?? Do you seriously think the bloke down your street who is a bit ‘woke’ has emptied your bank account?
Know your enemy.
He doesn’t arrive penniless by dinghy he leaves jingling with all our cash on a yacht.
They are here. Call them the Libertarian Far Right, call them Nazis, call them what you want. All they care about is you don’t call them out. Only focus on each other.
I have singled-out recently what can only be described as a takeover attempt of our industry by Libertarian-associated groups, using high profile figures, think tanks, self-appointed industry bodies and all affiliated with political activity firmly on the right wing.
I don’t care if it’s not ‘Far’ enough to the right for some of you. WE ARE NOT THAT and never have been. We literally formed as a protest movement AGAINST these people. No, it was never about ‘unity’ where we embraced fucking Tories. We embraced minority groups, LGBTQ+ folks, foreigners, freaks and misfits. No, Left and Right didn’t jig around and weave flowers in each other’s hair - Tory bootboys in football scarves got hammered in town pubs and hated our music and hated us. We literally bled for it. Granted later on the pills hit the terraces and we welcomed the good sorts from there - but we figured you understood. You'd seen the light. Changed for the better. So perhaps you can understand why ANY right wing is unwanted, 'Far Right' or Just Tory. It was Thatcher who tried to end us. Beat us with sticks. Brutalised the Travellers.
We don’t hate you, but we are not having it when you try to take over on the sly.
This is us. We made this thing. Not you. It's OK to join in if you get it.
It aint yours for the taking tho.
Soz.
Not on my watch.
OK folks, if you don’t want to help with the physio, let me outline what could be done in terms of the journalism.
If you can help me meet my medical costs it will free me up to do some work on the following -
Erik Morillo and why ‘Me Too’ will never happen in the music industry.
Institutional racism in the music industry.
Russell Brand - what a cunt!
Saudi Arabia and Dark Money in the biz.
COVID relief fund cheaters and Plague Ravers - just where did our money go and why?
Pikes - Under New Management.
Spotify and the rise of The Disruptors.
Fabric - ‘The Closure’
Boiler Room and Resident Advisor - bad eggs in a bad basket.
Cambridge Analytica and the Nu Stupid.
Brixton Is Bearded Over - a case study in gentrification.
Zanzibar and The Tuluminati.
Sacha Lord - The Problem, not the solution.
‘Glasto’ - what went wrong?
Home Leicester Square - The Towering Inferno.
2027 - The Final year for discos?
No one pays me for these things, indeed no one pays me for much at all anymore. If you can drop twenty quid you will be charged about 15 cos the fund is in euros. Free me up to do this work and put the living shits up the wronguns of the world.
