The other racists
It’s not just the white supremacists
“May he live in interesting times” says the Chinese proverb, meaning may he live in really bad times. In 2020, we certainly find ourselves in interesting times. The West that once seemed so glorious is facing undeniable decline. Western leaders who once seemed so respectable and sensible, are now widely ridiculed and reviled, even by their own electorate. And it’s becoming painfully clear that overt, systematic and routinely brutal ethnic cleansing and racism played a central role in building the two premier Western powers.
The United Kingdom became a superpower on the back of it’s naval might and the looting and virtual enslavement of it’s colonies. The United States established itself on the back of slavery and the ethnic cleansing of the ‘the new world.’
In the UK we have a Prime Minister who will change all his opinions and policies at the roll of a dice if he thinks it will further his career, just like he did with Brexit. He also has a well documented history of dishonesty and thinks the children of single mothers are ‘ill raised, ignorant, illiterate and illegitimate.’ Now he has abandoned his own ex wife and children maybe he’ll regret that statement, but I doubt it.
Former Prime Minister David Cameron, has more or less openly admitted he made a terrible mistake with the Brexit referendum…
