Reality aligns itself with something only subject to cost, never sense.

Sitting back in the audience, you realize that the primary reason this show failed wasn’t so much the casting, but the entire premise. Through the years I’ve had this adage towards most historiography in general (aka myth-making):
“Only the foolish will pick their own heroes.”
The Lancaster house speech is unique in that EVERYTHING Theresa May pointed out was turned upon it head and revealed her dishonesty… very plainly and without much dispute indeed. Please allow this video a lengthy listen from an historical perspective to learn exactly how she approached Brexit, but not how she managed this fiasco at all .
Why did it have to be that way?.. Epic failure? Today at this point I believe it is mainly due to the anointment of a hero archetype by their own press. Completely unnecessary for the task at hand, yet she accepted that immaterialism willingly. In this telling speech, she identifies merely 3 subjects:
- “I” (herself)
- “We” (britain)
- “Europe” (non-britain)
…for a major policy speech aimed at brexiteers. Who needed that really? Only the Brit tabloid press and their myth-making. Her own Tory party had already accepted her as the one to complete brexit, so they must have been right all along she thought. “So job #1 must be to feed this narrative for their sake”.
Bad idea prime minister, acting the role of paladin. It will never be good enough.

Here was a country “determined to commit economic suicide but unable even to agree on how to kill itself”, led by “a ship of fools” unwilling to “compromise with one another and with reality”. The result was an “epic failure of political leadership”, Friedland said: scary stuff, but “you can’t fix stupid”.
The “Enemy of the State” caricature is more important to deconstruct as idealism than as well-worn cynical ploy of political system. I say this realizing that, to myself, it is just another mechanism of the totalitarian mindset, to be wielded unabashedly in response to a democratic reflex. But to actually understand what it all means, to be willingly anti-intellectual and anti-progressive, you must face our shared nature towards dogmatically maintaining “morals”, “faith” and “righteousness”. Ethics are useful, but only when applied without bias equally in every case… there is no other excuse and can be none.
But to point about Jeremy Corbyn being allotted some culpability in this Tory adventure: Shouldn’t he be reviled and rejected publicly for his particular viewpoint whence that fairness of joint power-sharing is exposed? After all, doesn’t he advocate an extreme (if not the most) flavor of anti-semitic socialism any parliamentarian could encounter at Westminster, if god forbid he were given “legitimacy” by the May government it would lead to chaos. Here is an example of ToryTHINK from the Independent.
I say chap, err, simply look at the situation you have placed yourselves in now. Co-opting a democratic system as Britain possesses will have some difficulties, principally by those who adhere to its laws and charter without bias and with foresight into consequences of its own actions. The Brexiteers fit the bill the same as those none too displeased that the Reichstag burnt down… which is finally their signature accomplishment of a WTO ‘managed’ brexit.
I’m certain after the crash-out occurs there will be an opportunity for decrees against “remainers & fellow travelers” and their removal from further “negotiation” which could “soften” it, as well as state policy included. Watch and learn sorrowful history repeat itself.
Sky News inquired of Steve Baker, who last week was wishing he could tear down parliament and bulldoze it into the Thames. “Well, everyone knows I’m Brexit hardman Steve Baker,”..
Finally in closing, soon the citizens of Britain will either fight against this cancer, or succumb to it. History records no alternative, you cannot reason with those minds which reject the force of comity and its institutions which allow for just that.

Before I thought the most sensible thing to do was, of course, to vote YES on all the amendments… surely something will win out towards the BENEFIT of the electorate who has no desire to be poorer.
Yet that wasn’t the case.
Alas, no-deal brexit will be the outcome, as predicted by those much more cynical for this utterly cynical and craven time, who knew the power of politicians of every national stripe.
