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, deception becomes key. McSweeney knew this as he infiltrated Corbyn's movement to destroy Corbynism. Dressing deception as a functionary tool of the office when, in fact, it scarred the party, making it unworkable. 

To listen to Labour parliamentarians 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 still fails victims.

It's why the architect of this latest labour car-crash McSweeney was nowhere to be seen. Falling into a booby trap like Cummings. His head will roll at a nation's rising anger, but the same revolving door will introduce us to further deceitful bastards whose overblown sense of purpose follows familiar scripts, which stop the party working.

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