OK, so JI is unable to address the points made earlier. Yet, despite all this, s/he needs 30 years to decide whether Brexit really is the promised land which was promised!
The fraud perpetuated in the run-up is plain. Only the short-sighted and shamed still refuse to publicly accept it, which is what happens when facts contradict strong beliefs. Fingers in ears, eyes tight shut. La-la-la…
Ideology in Gurn’s house? Nah, fairness is what matters. The political ideologues are the ones authoring a few dusty tomes on the bookshelves. But nearby and on here, there are types who, having taken one step up the ladder of economic success, share a lot of the characteristics of those who have ‘just made it’; an intolerance of those who haven’t, perhaps a suspicion of those further up the ladder with more experience, knowledge, education, expertise…, plus bigoted attitudes and an overly-simplistic view of social and economic problems. Is that ideology? I don’t know, but such are (or were) the many of the red wall.
Religion and ideology? Darwin rules. I like the Atlee quote about believing the ethic but not the mumbo-jumbo. The few so-called Christians on here seem to have got it the opposite way round and give it a bad name. Presumably they reject Darwin too, along with dinosaurs and dna, believing the whole of evolution is just a conspiracy theory.
Conspiracy theories? Three conspiracy theorists walk into a bar. You can’t tell me that’s just a coincidence…
