OCCUPIED COUNTRY

Split* "Well, early indications would appear to indicate, that indications would appear to point to the fact that all the indications are that we have performed magnificently. A party in power, indeed a party that has been defending one of the highest number of seats since time began. BNP ? well *ahem*, let's not talk about them. That would give them credibility. As I've said, the early results would seem to indicate that all indications point to a share of the vote that previous indications would appear to have suggested we would have been hard-pressed to attain. To lose less seats than the indications would have appeared to indicate - prior to the recent indications - can be construed (and even convoluted) as, nothing short of a magnificent victory." "I am a teapot" Hmmmmmmm...Oldham politicians - of all political shades - have had to attempt to dismiss huge gains, tonight, by a Party who's Agenda is, essentially, racist. The same in Burnley where - for the first time in British political history - I would have thought, it looks like Racists are going to become the official party of opposition !!!! Its a protest vote apparently !! For God's sake get a grip. Germany - early 30s. Hitler did not campaign on a platform of World War and Final Solutions. Eventually though, Germany got them. For crying out loud: Labour, Liberal-Democrat and Tory: stop fecking about and provide a credible alternative that deals with the fears and worries of the people who are voting for neo-Fascists. Because, believe me, they are ordinary people who think (rightly or wrongly) that they are being discriminated against. And don't - for Christ's sake - refer to them as 'misguided' Sort it, or forever regret your inability to see past the next TV camera or Newspaper interview. For all their faults, its times like these that cry out for a George Orwell, James Cameron or even Gore Vidal. Times like these require someone with the courage, guts and intelligence to sort the truth from the lies and pin the solution like a, still-fluttering, moth on a board. There are powerful forces at play: cultural, religious and political. There are powerful players, with powerful media outlets, being insidiously powerful.
