Normalisation of a repressive regime? Nothing about this govt is normal - think back 1 year and compare the amount of the following to today
Honesty
Openness
Integrity
Selflessness
Objectivity
Accountability
Leadership (as in leading by example)
All gone - all of it!
Many of the Senior ministers in this current UK cabinet share qualities that you should be urgently alarmed by.
These qualities have been seen before - a country lost its democracy through them. Too late its people realised what was going on.
Never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; familiar? It's Hitler
Citizens of the UK, whatever your opinions on the many divisive issues, consider for a moment who has stirred up all this chaos and division in this country? And why? ans: the govt, they are seizing absolute power. Remember the rise of the fascists?
Team Johnson have stoked up all this division themselves, this is about the future of our democracy They are attempting a populist coup- The big lie, a couple of lessons from history about when this has happened before to Germany - Please read whole thread
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.
It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
We let them in while we were arguing amongst ourselves. We all need to unite against this cult like, pressure group backed, threat from within. Unity against those that seek to destroy our country.
They have manufactured division through SM and MSM on single issues - we need to drop all hostility to each other and see the true problem at the top of this govt - it is not all Conservative MPs - it is just the very top cabal that have hijacked the Conservative party.
The latest culture war that they have created is against the rule of law applying to their own actions - beware! within our society although we may have differing opinions on some of the hundreds of issues in our lives, in fact when averaged out,
we are all in broad agreement about the most of the issues. The tolerance of other people’s opinions on individual issues is part of what makes us here in the UK a balanced and civilised democracy. – It something that binds us together and protects us from attempts to
undermine our democracy. This country is in grave danger from an attempt to create an authoritarian state, one in which your vote will no longer have any influence on what happens in this country.
When they remove the rule of law over their actions, you will have no way of holding them to account for their future actions, however dreadful they are. Please consider this very carefully!
It would appear that those currently at the very top of an otherwise conservative party, seek to not only dishonour international law, but be above UK law too. Both should be setting off alarm bells - loud ones. https://twitter.com/thatginamiller/status/1300930236381646848
“Every lie told incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, that debt is paid.” We are approaching the time when the debt must be paid - the time when our extreme Brexit at any cost govt can no longer shield us from the consequences of its lies and those of it's backers.
Truth and lies are just like matter and antimatter, they cannot exist in the same room at the same time. This is why Johnson hates PMQs, it is also why ministers are currently boycotting those news channels that ask them relevant questions about their actions.
Professor Timothy Snyder explaining how the right in the USA and UK are using propaganda techniques taken from the Nazis to manipulate voters. I call this kleptofascism - fascist propaganda and political themes being used to maintain the power of the kleptocratic elite.
We are already starting to live in a repressive regime, arbitrary new laws being passed with no parliamentary scrutiny under emergency powers, due to the pandemic.
