Tory Orwellian Double Talk

We will spend whatever it takes to keep children safe!

There is no extra money!

It’s all words and lies. There is no substance. They treat us like idiots. Spin and prpaganda.

The reality is that for thirteen years they have been cutting public services and wages to give to Tory donors with VIP fast tracking and contract handouts.

Public services have been decimated! They are on their knees! Britain is actually crumbling!!

I know!!! How on Earth did we allow these Extreme Zealots to run the Country????

Thirteen years of rule by a bunch of extreme right-wing, self-serving, corrupt, sleazy, greedy liars!!

The Lethal Game

The truth is being used.

When people are hopelessly abused.

Politics and spin. Politics and spin.

Power and wealth. Power and wealth.

It’s a lethal game.

In this post-truth shame.

There are a bunch of arrogant people who tell you that they know exactly what is going on. They glean their news from sites that are clean. They boldly tell you that the mainstream lies.

I tell you – no sites are clean.

It’s all a game.

Knowledge is money.

How the spin works.

Yesterday the Privileges Committee released a damning report on Boris Johnson outlining how he had mislead parliament numerous times.

The Guardian reported:

Boris Johnson faces a battle for his future in parliament after a cross-party committee found there was significant evidence he misled MPs over lockdown parties, and that he and aides almost certainly knew at the time they were breaking rules.

The damning report includes one witness saying the then prime minister told a packed No 10 gathering in November 2020, when strict Covid restrictions were in force, that “this is probably the most unsocially distanced gathering in the UK right now.

The loathsome Tory rag The Daily Mail poured out a headline designed to make you think poor Johnson had been picked on and was completely innocent – spinning the truth 180 degrees! This is nothing short of lies and propaganda.

The equally obnoxious Tory Daily Express was even worse. Instead of GUILTY AS CHARGED they went with CYNICAL STITCH-UP. You wouldn’t think that the liar had been caught with his trousers down at all!!

The Mirror at least provided a more accurate view:

And the Daily Star told it like it was:

Unfortunately the lying Mail and Express are the preferred reading of the masses. They are being brainwashed with lying Tory propaganda.

Boris Johnson was a lying conman who got caught. Now he’s using his influence with the Tory media to wriggle on the hook. I hope they lock the lying cheat out. He has cost this country billions with his lies!

Propaganda

Propaganda is all we get;

                An endless stream of bias.

With calculation and intent

                Out of the mouths of liars.

Targeted spin and lies

                Aimed at the gullible.

Callous disregard

                For all the vulnerable.

The arrogant entitled

                Take us for fools.

Reciting the lessons

                They learnt in their schools.

Manipulate us like cattle

                In their lust for wealth and power

Voting them out

                Would be our finest hour.

The truth has always been the first victim in this endless war. Nothing has changed down the ages. It’s all a front.

The wealthy establishment still rule. Where once they used force to subjugate the masses and treated them with utter disdain, now they use propaganda.

The same people who ordered the troops to kill at Peterloo now use the media to keep the masses in their place, working for the prosperity of the minority.

Where it used to be mansions, carriages and a host of servants it is now superyachts, penthouses and supercars.

They give us as little as they can get away with and blind us with stark warnings, smoke and mirrors.

They appear reasonable, plausible and understanding but they are really cynical exploiters and profiteers.

Every now a revelation leaks out about their scummy workings – Greenswill or lobbying, Russian connections and cash for peerages, but it’s all soon glossed over.

They get away with deception, spin and murder.

Propaganda keeps the screw turning.

Thanks to the Daily Mail, Express and Sun the Tory propaganda machine keeps the working class voting against their own best interest. Meanwhile, the wealthy get ever richer and the Tories lauigh at how gullible people really are.

Good old Boris!!

Poetry – Democracy/Autocracy

Democracy/Autocracy

There’s a battle going down

                For the best way to control us.

To brainwash us through the media

                Or throw us off the bus.

Democracy,

                Flawed

                                But with

                                                Checks and laws.

Autocracy,

                Oppression

                                And control

                                                With vicious claws.

At least in democracy

                We have some say.

In a totalitarian country

                There’s no way.

Propaganda

                Secret Police

                                The despot’s tools.

Freedom

                Of speech

                                In streets and schools.

If only we had true democracy

                With an unbiased media

And no politician’s lies,

                No spin, no tricks

No self-serving fools

                Or clowns in populist guise.

Until then we’ll just make do.

We can vote them out and renew.

There’s a battle between democracies and autocracies!

Democracies are bad enough – what with spin and lies, propaganda and brainwashing, the population is pulled from pillar to post by the shady characters behind the scene. What with lobbying, corruption, threats and bungs our political system is despicable.

But is I have to choose between this and the brutal repression and loathsome secret police I know which is the lesser of two evils.

The Tory Party Party – er – gathering!!

Yes, your honour – we were a gathering – nibbles, drinks, music and games – just a gathering – nothing illegal.

The Tory Party – Lies and spin. They practice how to lie to the media.

Or, as Chris Patton said yesterday – they are no longer the Tory Party – these are a bunch of extreme nationalists posing as the Tory Party. It’s like the Trumpists taking over the Republican Party. They are both dragging politics into the slime.

Deciphering Tory Speak.

It’s so difficult to understand what they are really saying because they lie so much.
