Something Strange, Something New, Something Old.

There is sometimes an us and them.

The Conservative Party with very little constraint set themselves up to represent the ruling classes, they are without doubt the administrators for the super rich and with very few exceptions they will choose capital over people. 

We all know this. The Tory party itself was formed to protect the interests of the Royals and Landowners during the English civil war. There is no culture of responsibility to anyone other than the powerful.

This last four years have reflected that deeply.  With the referendum to leave the EU, turned into a cereal brexit that was all anti-immigration, instead of a debate about neo political theory.

With Trump winning the US presidency; we saw the far right became mainstream and the Conservative Party jump right on that bandwagon.

We saw how much apathy and fear had overcome hope in regards to politics.

On the left we had Jeremy Corbyn winning two Labour party leadership elections and almost landing himself in No,10, winning against the odds of the bookies and with the mainstream media establishment against us.

This was a big boost of hope to many of us, except the Ruling classes, whose reign is under threat.

Jeremy Corbyn is genuinely anti-establishment. His leadership has placed radical ideas at the forefront of a strong left of center manifesto. 

From nationalising all the business taken into private ownership to a National Investment Bank which will help fuel local economies through loans to co-ops and other small to medium sized business.  Him and his shadow cabinet have taken the bull by the horns and are going to pull it to its knees if we get them in power.  

What was notable about Trumps win was his team's ability to take advantage of any of the Clinton scandals which were dropping out of the sky as if by magic, it seemed, though we know better now. 

They were able to viral market to specific people using facebook and twitter to share outrageous lies regarding ethnicity and religion. 

There was nothing good about Trump's campaign, but conservative and libertarians types believed the hype, he and Bannon et el created; that he would drain the swamp and stop the wars.

This is what the European Research Group continue to do with the help of Trump, Farage and Putin, to win Brexit.

The Democrats were plagued by apathy that day, much of this due to the sheer audacity of Clinton's run as Secretary of State and the fixing of the vote in the primaries to defeat Bernie Sanders. This was done by analysing Americans facebook likes.

The social media platform has been one that has fueled Jeremy Corbyn's momentum to the top of the Labour party. This is a very different drive to the way the Trump campaign and the Brexit campaign used social media.

The difference is participation and influence. Jeremy Corbyn's campaign has had to earn its facebook likes, encourage people to share and participate of their own volition, as opposed to brought influence via facebook ads. 

Boris Johnson held out for an election as long as he could to give time to the powers that be to spread terror and discredit Jeremy and his team of social democrats.

They will want to discredit their supporters and our ideas. Nationalisation, where’s the money come from?

We will be told it will cost us more, yet how can it, if the profits are being kept in house.  Free education, where’s the money come from? Peace, where’s the money going to come from? NHS, where’s the money going to come from?

We will be told a left-green-liberal alliance is a costly operation that is not profitable. That the country is not profitable, so why the drive to privatise it then I ask myself? Not a question I’ve heard on Question Time.
