Learning about witch trials it used to amaze me how gullible and stupid people were in the pre Enlightenment eras. Not anymore.
It's no surprise that Hopkins (Matthew, not Katie) and the other witchfinders did their best business in small isolated towns distant from centres of learning.
Returning to the present, there's a visible escalation in the slopaganda.
A few years back it was that Waitrose bloke posting brief clips of fight scenes form foreign movies captioned "London has fallen".
Then the Farage riots.
Then GB News essentially repeating Waitrose bloke's tricks, with a side order of "shove a mic and camera in somebody's face".
Next the "respectable" face of the press are fabricating financial service families in "Jane Austen Poverty".
You know the drill - no tax rebate on the nanny fees, reduced to 4 ski-holidays a year to keep Tarquin on the Eton list.
Each story unmasked as fake, but no regulatory action to follow.
"Fictitious stories can't have victims", or some non-sequitorial shit..
And now the Farage / Lowe axis doing well in the polls, but maybe not as confident as they'd like.
Polls slipping a little, some poorly chosen candidates unmasked, the "international christian nationalist" movement stalling.
What would really help them in the coming by-elections?
* A moral panic about transexual 5G fifteen minute cities - with a mosk (sp) on every corner.
* Houses of multiple occupation (Like where I lived as a student or a young worker).
* Crazy net zero by bacon sandwich weirdo Milliband.
But you know what would really help?
* Allegations of a horrific sex crime (check).
* Usual suspects demanding ethnicity details (check).
* A second wave of Farage/Lowe riots (Let's hope not).
