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 because 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.
