If you’re not already doing it, I thoroughly recommend liking/following the GB TV Facebook group. It is an absolute treasury of idiocy, paranoia, and bigotry. Some of it is very difficult to accept as real. In some respects it is worrying, but I take comfort that these moronic twats are a minority, though you can’t escape the sneaking feeling that here we see at least part of the reason why the UK has elected utterly atrocious Tory governments for the last 12 years.
My old friend Bruce Lawson often enters the jousts to skewer some of the more egregious fuckwittedness, and is always entertaining. There don’t seem to be the same mass pile-ons on dissenting voices in the same way that vicious Corbynites and Trots used to join in with.
Example : The rising costs of fuel, electricity, and other overheads that are apparently causing a significant proportion of pubs and restaurants to contemplate closing down are apparently the next phase of a conspiracy of unspecified forces of darkness, aimed at suppressing the free-thinking heroes and heroines who would otherwise be gathering down the Dog and Trumpet to plot insurrection together. The first phase of this, was of course, the entirely phoney Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns. No kidding - there seem to be people who believe this preposterous claptrap. There is also, of course, a generous measure of fuckwits expressing the opinion that “you’re not allowed to have an opinion any more”, and other such bowel emissions.
