Has lockdown sent us all mad?

Millions of us reject the “new normal”.
All the silly rules should be ditched, now, so we can get back to living properly.
The economic crash is coming.

The question of the BLM slogan on football shirts, breaching their own impartiality rules is interesting. BLM seem to have achieved the status of being above politics, the state has previously ascribed to god and the queen. Even within the public services support for BLM can be openly expressed with the expectation that there will be supported. I’ve previously written that if you joined the civil service 25 or 30 years ago, you would have to keep quiet about any left wing views or activities that you have been involved in. Today a member of the SWP (socialist workers party) would feel right at home. Curiously we have a Labour opposition that seeks a return to the political centre, and a Conservative government and yet the backdrop is an uncontested left wing
orthodoxy or conventional wisdom. In short BLM are not considered as political, clearly a success for the Left.
Chris Snowdon had some warm words for ‘Kick it Out’, but BLM are what ‘Kick it Out’ would like to be. I imagine BLM as brand managers very pleased with themselves, for dominating the agenda and controlling the narrative. Many of us have argued at length about the whole neo-Marxist thing, but post-modernism and identity politics developed in opposition to Marxism, indeed black people in general have tended to be sceptical of the Left, a case of any port in a storm. I did see a BLM spokesperson on newsnight once, and I commented at the time that he was like a classical American pragmatist, I think it was in relation to slavery compensation, his view was that everyone else was claiming compensation (for all kinds of ills) ‘why not us’.
For the new identitarians history is about promoting your brand, and political expediency, slavery provides a simple and clear narrative, the history of colonialism, imperialism, independence and national liberation struggles and the lives of millions of black people who have been born lived and died in the post slavery world is perhaps to complex for a simple slogan.

I’m already mad, I’ve been locked down all my life, its about time someone published my great body of work but I’m not a minority, I’m not middle class, I don’t know the right people, I’m not related to the right people and I dont do political correctness

The underlying logic of BLM, as an organisation, is neither Marxist nor neo-Marxist, its anarchist.

Down with that sort of thing!

– Father Ted creator Graham Linehan is banned from Twitter after stating ‘men aren’t women’ in row with trans activists

Mr Linehan has gained notoriety in recent years for his vocal opinions on transgender rights and feminism, and he yesterday wrote ‘men aren’t women tho’ in response to a Tweet wishing a happy Pride to transgender Women’s institute members.

Twitter said Mr Linehan has been banned for ‘repeated violations of our rules against hateful conduct and platform manipulation’. – DM

One person comes to mind, with no journo qualifications, been in trouble with the law and holds the deeply offensive view that women are, well… women.
That’s JK Rowling fcuked then. Who’d want to read anything penned by a nasty “transphobe” anyway?

Not really, immigration has – BLM Violence on the streets and Asylum seekers going on multiple mass murder rampages while the boats keep coming every single day .

‘How can we fight against big tech censorship”

Well it’s like asking people on the Isle of Wight how best to ensure the Isle of Wight County Press employs a young woman with deeply offensive views.

The thing is, it’s up to the IWCP who they employ and if a young woman has no qualifications, a criminal record and a load of offensive views, it’s unlikely the IWCP will give her a weekly column.

Censorship comes in many forms, right Spiked.
