'Below The Line / Beneath Contempt'
Act 3
Scene 1:
Stand up if you
are an enemy of the people. Stand up.
Anyone who
acts against the national interest is a disgrace at best and a traitor
otherwise. Now we can have a civilised debate about what is in the national
interest.
You're
embarrassing yourself.
Enemies of the People. To room 101 with them.
I see the
fine art of knee-jerk is still alive and well with you.
Such a
threat! The entire nation is quaking & absolutely terrified of you. Lol.
I like a
battle.
We should have to
stand to attention every morning and hail the new regime... a camera in every room
will monitor compliance.
I've sworn to tell
the truth, the whole truth and nothing but a few times in the past... lied my
arse off after that..meant nothing.
Perhaps you
should accept the rule of law with grace?
To think that UK
once fought for the rule of law. It unbelievable how things have changed.
Nice riposte
I don't share your political views at all,
but have a great respect for your position.
Some of these
comments really are complete b0!!0cks
The road through
life is a thorny one, studded by pricks.
Revealing how shit
it is would certainly not bode well.
Scene 2:
People are looking for simple answers to difficult problems and the democratic system we have is not helping. Perhaps, unless you are educated to a degree and possess all your faculties of mind you simply should not be allowed to vote. This might solve a few issues and also raise some others, but what we have is not working.
Yep, that's
how it works in a democracy.
If you believe we actually do live in a
democracy ;-)
If democracy has been reduced to competing
dogmas, it isn't democracy.
Is that
called Analysis?
There is
truth in what you say. But undermining the democratic system will make
things far worse than they've been so far.
Someone should
have the guts to call the spade a spade - what has happened is that the system
of democracy has failed. One man, one vote system that worked sort of well for
the past 70 years or so has utterly failed and is failing right across the
world.
In a world of big
data, social media and ubiquitous technologies, scratching a 'cross' on a piece
of paper once every four or five years is not democracy.
We don't have
'democracy' in any real sense so the weird political outcomes should not come
as any form of surprise.
A blatant biased misinterpretation
If the democratic
result is overturned then the people will be painted into a corner. It will be
little surprise then if mob rule and violence occurs. What other choice is
there when democracy fails?
Why don't you have a go at framing the
question and let us know what you come up with - I'm interested to know.
You are not overly adept at identifying
irony.
If you don't give
voters a lawful and peaceable way to change policy, they might opt for a less
peaceful and lawful way.
I can not
emphasise this strongly enough - in this country we rely on the courts to
decide the law - not the mob.
Instead of history
books read a decent politics textbook which will tell you how our
representative democracy operates.
"democraticdemocraticdemocraticdemocraticdemocraticdemocraticdemocraticdemocraticdem

Blah blah Blah blah Blah blah Blah blah Blah blah Blah blah Blah blah Blah
blah
Bollocks
Can't bear the
bloody rubbish any more.
So bloody sad
How incredibly sad
what has happened to the uk and I don't want to be a part of it any more.
What the fuck has
happened to this country?
All efforts seem
to be diverted and indeed all problems wil be made worse as we become a poorer
country.
Where did you cut and paste that from?
I am ashamed that
our political system has become so easily undermined and ridiculed. I am
dismayed that people who are fighting to save it are suffering abuse and
bullying.
......and all
there is left are silly 'n offensive insults.
Bloody
cockwombler, you snivelling eyed pea brained commuter !
That kind of abuse ?
I have to say that
our democratically elected bodies have worked hard to build distrust, but it
hasn't arisen overnight. It's taken decades, alongside a lot of other changes
in the world..
Politicians have
criticised and then demonised their opponents, which the media have been only
too keen to magnify, and now social media have added to the churn.
And yet, despite
increasingly shrill comments in the media, people in the street are still
getting on with their lives. Who is interested in hearing how normal everything
still is?
What are you babbling about?
I can't make much sense of this. I don't know
whether it's your poor English or your defective thought processes, but what
you've posted is intellectually incoherent.
Actually it
means your syntax is wacky. I think I may agree with you, but I'm not sure.
Who cares
what you think?
Who gives a xxxx what you think either.
It's going to take
some time for this to sink in and the cognitive dissonance to wear off.
off you go pet, don't let the door hit you...
etc.
oh do shut
up
Astonishing.
Are you drunk?
Yeah but your banjo's still out of tune.
Sorry mate,
you'll have to rephrase that. No one has any idea what you're banging on
about
about
Yer
whistling in the dark lad
Fk
sake....you must be a busker
Whateverrrrrrrrrrrr.
Meanwhile people
are sleeping and dying on the streets.
Scene 3:
British values are
totally distorted.
ONE RULE FOR THE
BLOODY RICH, ONE RULE FOR THE POOR. this country and its priorities STINK TO
HIGH HELL.
If you
stopped ranting for a minute some intelligent thoughts might find their way in.
But first you will need to stop thinking IN CAPITAL LETTERS
Hahahahaha. Ouch.
LOL......POT.....BLACK.....Mr KETTLE
IwHY DID YOU
POST THIS?
Need to cut back on the capitalisation mate.
Makes you sound a bit dickish.
Settle down.
I can feel your blood pressure rising to unsafe levels from over here.
what Wendy
answered I am startled that any body able to earn $7264 in a few weeks on the
computer .

Wow that
sounds brilliant!
Tell you what, post your home phone number
& then we can have a chat about it. :-)
Scene 4:
This is a joke,
right?
Yes. You
might understand things a bit better if you proceeded to try to work out WHY.
Well done, you are obviously keeping up. Not
a criticism, but an observation; check the difference if you can find a
dictionary
Difference is that now information is
available at anyone's fingertip...it's just a matter of choosing
to inform yourself, or let yourself manipulated.
to inform yourself, or let yourself manipulated.
Which devious
characters are in the background, and what are they trying to gain....?
Even Sherlock
could not deduce anything from this!
What is so hard for you to understand? It is
not one bit complicated. In fact, it is so simple. I do not believe I can help
you at all.
I'll do anything to protect you from your own
utterly abject stupidity.
All this is sheer
nonsense based on false premises
that have been
addressed over and over again across multiple threads.
What a fuck up.
Haven't seen one of those for many years.
Scene 5:
"Mine is the
politics of openness, and everyone who disagrees with me is evil."
Rather
sensitive, no?
A berserker
on the horns of a dilemma, eh?
I would imagine
this person is lovely company (when they are not playing on their mobile phone
in their seedy bedsit).
Do they know
something is amiss? Yes, they do... Do they like feeling like this, no they
don't and like bullies they will likely lash out at those they perceive to be
different and/or weak.
We can see a
pattern emerging - they will blame anyone but themselves and that is because
whatever happens they know deep down that they will never win. And that is why
they are angry.
They don't
see irony , or humour , or other view points
“Tolerating the views of others, even if you
disagree with them”? Hell no, I don't want to swear an oath to that.
People really are
getting their knickers n a twist for no reason
Whoever gave
you the "Sanctimony Bible" for Xmas has done humanity a great
disservice.
However, there is
no excuse for the stupidity of treating ones own half arsed guesses about the
future as "fact" while the guesses of others are malign
manipulations.
It's the
language of little boys trying to sound tough, not grownups.
absolutely,
he should have said penis.
no fun otherwise.
And you relish this? pathetic. Grow up.
The adults
are in the room now.
You mean the
British should start behaving like grown up, empowered citizens instead of
always wanting Mummy to sort it out?
Dream on.
That anyone
would even think this was a possibility is laughable.
Go away, let the adults handle this.
The beautiful face
of SANITY is re,emerging and this is just the start
Care to go
into detail on that statement.
Woah, the
hokey cokey,
Woah, the hokey cokey,...
Not sure I can make any sense of your
response there dear fellow.
Care to elaborate? Or are we just leaving it
there?
You mean ... In Out, In Out, Shake it all
about ?
In out, shake it all about.
Vapid. Insubstantial. Unspecific. Shallow.
Lacking quality or purpose.
Scene 6:
A brighter, more
free, more prosperous future awaits.
What
fantastic news !
No problems whatsoever. To the sunlit uplands
we go!
It is getting better and better.
Happy days
are here again!
This way to
the Sunny Uplands.
Onward to
the new Utopia!
in la-la
land, maybe, but not in the UK
.......
Paradise awaits.
Paradise Lost ......
Behold, the
sunlit uplands! Oh hang on, its just started p*ssing down.
Magical
thinking.
Would you
like to show your working? I could do with a laugh.
All the
indicators are that things will go badly. Against that we have you, and those
like you,
that have faith
that all will turn out for the best.
Testify!
Show your working.
Wow. You should write a book on economics or
something.
You sound like an expert.
You should write a book, or do some stand-up
comedy...
Utter codswallop from another armchair
expert.
Carry on
with your exceptionalist fantasy. The rest of the world is laughing at you.
How can this abject nonsense be trotted out
time and time again. Those harboring such fantasies are in for a very, very
rude awakening.
its all
PROPAGANDA.
Say it
enough times and people start to believe it.
Load of Blah....
and your VIABLE alternative
is............................
This is
hilarious, but for the wrong reasons.
Hilarious !
Belt-bustingly and pant-tearingly hilarious.
Hah, thanks for the chuckle :)
Everyone to their
own, but I prefer custard on my rhubarb.
Scene 7:
What are needed
are leaders with character that can tell people things they don't like to hear
and make them think. We have enough of those who can exploit pointing at the
problems people face but offer no solutions because they entice self reflection
hard work and difficult choices.
have sort of thought that myself, but
actually came to the conclusion that no politician could ever plan anything on
that scale and they are all just winging it.
has the
penny dropped yet that some people have been taken for F***wits
"
Ladies and gentlemen...it's all about to happen! Put your hands together
for................ the Spinning Fuckwits!!"
recognizing
the situation would be a start.
And if you
can't see it, then there really is no hope for you.
Are people still
banging on about this...?!
They are
making this shit up as the go along. So nothing new there then.
Paradoxes
and contradictions among glimpses of clear hope not clearly defined.
Sorry, the whole
think is becoming a big laugh (somehow a bitter one).
Those fuckers are
doing my head in. I wish we could dump 'em somewhere inhospitable.
Freedom of speech
means you can respond, either with evidence or by pointing and laughing. Which
is better than someone deciding which thoughts can be expressed and which
cannot (unless I get to make that decision, of course).
How can freedom of
speech exist at the same time as freedom from abuse?
You see
there is your problem right there.
End this nonsense.
We can just pretend it never happened and go back to normal.
"But
human beings are emotional creatures. We want emotionally compelling
stories."
Scene 8:
Where is the
common-sense, common good, and common interests in all this unnecessary
skullduggery?
Tis time for all
good people of left, middle, and I dare say one or two rightish ones to pull
together quickly, put aside political tribalism with some kind of er...popular
front rather than allow the populist one emerging to take us completely back to
a foul future unrolling before us.
Calm voice
of sense, reason and reality in the storm. Thanks.
Fantasy
crap.
Yes, I know........I am wasting my breath.
What are
you, some sort of communist?
remember
comunism doesnt work
Wise words.s
What's "comunism"?
A triumph of hope over expereince?
I'm not in the slightest bit interested. This
is opinion, not social media love in.
The three most
easiest things to sell in history are, booze, sex and religion! Capitalism,
communism, fascism and so on are a form of religion.
Not again!
this must be the thirtieth time you repeat the same mantra. Crikey... Next.
Damn, if it keeps
on like this you might have to stop reading it!
I have lost the
will to comment. I have no words left.
