"Politics is not a game"

Because the US electorate has decided to signal the end of the Washington bullshit they clearly despise, all those fearful political job-types, who don't really work for a living, will now need to look for a job, elsewhere.

I remember the first thing #TheresaMayPM said to her new cabinet was "politics is *not* a game."

This alluded to all the people to whom she'd just said goodbye - particularly the disgraced, resigned prime minister #DavidCameron, who had taken the fall for such a miscalculation of the voters' contempt for the private school boys' mutual self appreciation society that had been masquerading for the British #ukgov for quite some time.

#TheresaMayPM also fired the more-maligned #GeorgeOsborne, richboy untouchable, who probably had justifiably considered himself ripe to be the next #conservativeparty #ConservativeLeadership until he was sent packing, to the applause of the masses.

Osborne's fanatical approach to austerity had punished the British working class beyond what they could comfortably take.

Osborne's lack of touch & contempt for the masses can be disguised in the prosperous times, when those who don't have, also have only themselves to blame.

However, when the banks trade in a vaguely restricted fashion for decades (admittedly, partly under the Blair #Labour #ukgov) & flood the economy with toxic debt nobody intends to repay, Osborne passes the consequences, blame AND responsibility for the shortfall back onto working people.

It was a classic miscalculation by a spoiled rich kid, hellbent on carving a reputation & a career in politics for being a no nonsense Chancellor. The people, in return, accustomed to being told what to think & do by the #ukgov got ready to keep sucking it up at the behest of their betters, whilst bitterly complaining among themselves.

That was the case until the #EUref suddenly appeared - representing what many saw as a chance to protest at the ballot box, and maybe even change the country for the better.

So, we did.

#Trump #Brexit +++

Weird listening to @BBCRadio4
suggesting #TheresaMayPM needs #LiamFox to get #nigelfarage involved with #trump because #ukgov doesn't know how to speak to him.

I said in 1st thing Wednesday #GonzoLecture that #Trump #election2016 result will bode well for UK trade. Seems the UK currency agrees too as it's the first time it's looked decent since #Brexit.

What isn't clear is whether the #Democrats have any sort of future - it's all down to whether they plan to learn from this election, rather than blaming everybody else for their recent & unexpected fall.

The parallels with #Brexit are uncanny - making me feel it's all part of a bigger picture to end democracy, undermine global government, strengthen Israel, alienate Muslims, & generally lead to the destruction of both the material & religious babylons. I know some of my readers just switched off.

We're more than on the road to somewhere. I think, we need these things to happen. I'm not looking forward to the impending grinder. God save us.
