People bought into the £350,000,000 going to the NHS, when we told them that it was a lie it was 'scaremongering'. Oh look, they've announced it's a lie.
People bought into the immigration issue being sorted, when we told them it was a lie it was 'scaremongering'. Oh look, they've announced it's a lie.
The Bank of England told them we were better off remaining, and we should stay. They told us that it was 'scaremongering' and that the economists and all the experts were simply looking after their own interests. Now that the economy balked overnight the people are all of a sudden trusting the Bank of England to sort it, when two days ago they were agenda driven fear mongers with only their own interests at heart.
As a society we are really unintelligent. Not pointing out people specifically but talking as a whole. Nobody wants to do research. If Boris says something, they don't want to research it to find out if it's even true. If Cameron says something, they don't want to research it. If it sounds good to them, it's true. "Britain is a big country, yep sounds good to me, trade deals will therefore be a piece of piss." I wish the world worked like that but it does shame me that as a society we lap this shit up.
Why as a society when we realise we've been lied to, and it was apparent weeks ago that we'd been lied to many times, why isn't the view of the people 'hang on, he just lied to my face. Maybe I should rethink what I'm doing'. Why isn't it. Why are we content to just overlook it, or feel that the way we deal with this is to instead point to the other side and point out ways that they've lied too. How does that in any way excuse the fact that this person still lied to us. We condone it by doing this. We sidetrack dealing with an important thing and say that because someone else does it too it's okay. 'Yeah but Cameron is a cnut as well.' I'm single, so maybe I'm not the best to talk to about relationships but I strongly doubt if I was trying to entice a girl to leave a guy for me, that the right way of doing it would be to say 'get with me, I do lie but come on, he lies to you too.' Maybe you shouldn't lie to me at all if you want me to come around to your way of thinking. People kicked off after the last election because the Tories got in. Then those same labour voters who kicked off on social media just voted with the tories. The people they hate. They voted with them. They voted for a man who is on public record as making both racist and homophobic remarks who once passed his colleagues home address to a criminal so that he could be beaten up. This is the calibre of the man that people just sided with. Why don't we say 'hang on a minute, you're a disgusting person. I'm not voting for your ideal, why don't you feck off and let someone decent take over'. We don't, we say 'yes he may be a disgusting human, but so is the other guy so it's all fine'. This is ridiculous.
Society as a whole just seems ridiculously unintelligent these days. Nobody wants to ask a question and are too prepared to take whatever sounds good to them at the time. Kick off about Tories, then vote with them and give them the power. Say we're sick of experts, then say we're confident they'll get us an amazing deal. Tell the Bank of England they're scaremongerers who only look after their own interests, trust them to fix the issue. Announce through our votes that we disagree with every single political party in the UK besides UKIP, then ask for a general election.
When a political leader is asked a hard question and just deflects it like Boris deflecting economy questions by saying 'I think we've had enough of project fear'. Why did the public not outcry 'hang on, give an answer. You just dismissed it without even considering it'. Boris's answer should have been 'I think we've had enough of project fear, what you're proposing isn't going to happen because A, B and C.' But he didn't. And nobody cared about that. Can we really kick off about the way politicians behave when we're too lazy to demand the treatment we deserve?
