BEATS OF LOVE 

161. Penetration by Iggy and the Stooges 

SORRY, BUT being pro-immigration is more a part of my Balearic being as Ibiza is. 

What's striking about Farage's polling is only a third of his own supporters think he's racist and will abolish our NHS. Predictably, his week started with a humongous lie about what we'll save addressing the Boriswave by attacking legal migrants and nothing about what we'll lose, namely our collective soul. 

His own vanity and fear of Boris Johnson has led to a flagship announcement that assumes we'll want a system that's no kinder to us Brits but far, far harsher to everybody else. So harsh that we'll just let folk die outside hospitals so we won't have to queue as long. So harsh that we'll happily work alongside folk who see no future, just the prospect of deportation. 

Farage shares some semblance of punk rock's ideology in that he seeks to destroy things, but where punk sought to expose truths, he seeks to conceal them. Seeking to destroy integration to conceal the truth that there is more that unites us than divides. Seeking to destroy our human rights to conceal the truth that they protect us more than threaten. And seeking to destroy our NHS to conceal the truth that it misdiagnosed his testicular cancer decades ago.  

I'm heartened that two-thirds of his own supporters don't think he's racist or trying to abolish our NHS, as they must now be having second thoughts.

160. When Will it End by Honey Cone

LAYING OFF 500 people one day and inciting nearly 150,000 protesters to act in defence of their country, the next, takes a special psycho. A country not under attack and not even his. 

Elon Musk that special psycho loves choreographing the very folk his politics has laid to waste. The next logical step for these folk was to turn toward a party intent on redistributing wealth, but social media has schooled them. Social media doesn't challenge opinion, its algorithms create echo chambers which simply reinforce existing belief. 

Users are now adept at rebuking Corbyn whilst failing to explain what Thatcher ever did for the traditional working class. They're armed with quotes to defend the billionaires, but can't explain why less inequality creates happier societies. They've also adapted to deflect criticism, rebuking correlations with Nazi Germany, but cannot explain away their rising anger. 

An anger that divests folk of individuality which has its roots in aggressive violence and not victimhood. It's more pitiful still watching labour politicians too scared of losing votes to big up multi-racial, multi-faith Britain. Instead, giving legitimacy to no marks like Tommy Robinson. Instead, apologists for this huge, ever growing loveless grievance narrative that stokes this rising anger. 

A narrative manufactured and bankrolled by folk who think nothing of laying 500 people off. Absolutely nothing.
