BEATS OF LOVE 

172. Toulouse by Latin Quarter

A WORLD where Trump apes Putin to play at ruler and Farage apes Trump to Americanize British politics can only happen when folk see the very poorest as a problem.  

A world where more and more folk are now seeing the super wealthy as a problem spells trouble. To prevent this new vision from taking hold, dressing deception as a functionary tool becomes key. McSweeney learned this from Mandelson as he infiltrated and sabotaged Corbyn's movement to destroy Corbynism. 

To listen to the broad church of Labour parliamentarians with their diametrically opposed views vilify while rightly tearing out the heart of Mandelson, in some bloodlust, you can not escape the fact that on some performative level, they're purging their own sorry souls. Theirs is also a politics of deception on a lesser scale which betrays victims by failing to arrive at a consensus on anything. 

It's why the architect of this latest labour car-crash McSweeney was nowhere to be seen. Falling into a booby trap of his own making, like Cummings. His head will roll at a nation's rising anger, but the same revolving door will introduce us to further deceit. The byproduct of the factional politics that characterize our two main parties. 

And for all that Americans thank God they're not in Putin's Russia and we thank God we're not in Trump's America despite having to endure a minor annoyance like an ascendant Farage.
