That guy is something else.



It was “nonsense”, Scruton continued, to accuse the Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán of anti-Semitism (the pair have been friends since meeting in Budapest in 1987). The same applied, he insisted, to charges of Islamophobia. “The Hungarians were extremely alarmed by the sudden invasion of huge tribes of Muslims from the Middle East.” Islamophobia was, he repeated, a propaganda word “invented by the Muslim Brotherhood in order to stop discussion of a major issue”.

Perhaps most remarkably, he commented of the rise of China: “They’re creating robots out of their own people… each Chinese person is a kind of replica of the next one and that is a very frightening thing.”

Honest serious questions:

Are the tories on purpose sabotaging negotiations with the goal of delaying until the UK has to hard brexit, or are they just inept morons?

If the answer is the former, why? Are they in a position to benefit from this, and if so, how? Wouldn't the irrepairable harm convince the people to vote then out for a generation? Is this also why idiots like Boris are posturing for a hard brexit?

If it's the öatter, why the gently caress do people still vote for these idiots?

I guess I still don't understand the mechanics of this. What do they have that makes them more personally wealthy if the UK's trade deals collapse, which will make them more powerful than their current position at the top of national politics fighting over this?

Like, I think about wealthy and powerful pro-life advocates in America. Their power and wealth comes from the fight itself, not actually winning the fight. I thought that powerful Leave advocates would be in that position now.

It's both, really. Some, like BoJo and Rees-Mogg are vulture capitalists who are clearly scheming to dismantle the welfare state right into their own pockets. Presumably they don't care about the fallout for the party and will happily drop out of politics once they're done looting, which is about a two-year sentence if Farage and Cameron are any indication. Others, like May, very clearly have no idea what they're doing or what the consequences will be.

As for why people vote for them, well, the vast majority of UK media are owned by Rupert Murdoch. Look at how much influence Fox News has in the US, and then imagine that every major news channel were Fox News.
