Rod Liddle: This is the worst Tory campaign ever

A piece in the current edition of The Spectator. Why did Theresa May choose 8 June as polling day? Because she knew I’d be at the conference in Australia that day and for several days afterwards, what other possible explanation could there be?

If everyone who read this gave us just £1 – or even better, £1 monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.

  1. She has everything to fight for and all the ammunition she needs and appears to be “throwing it.” Why? Something is dreadfully amiss here. The conspiracy theorist in me that May (essentially a Blue Labour Feminist) thinks she’s been told to screw up.

    • An LBC presenter today was laughing hysterically when a caller suggested this. Nothing would surprise me. When we got the referendum result, I thought they’d find some way of preventing it happening.

      • Of course. Brexit, as we need it, will not happen. There may be an ostensible separation, but the same ties will bind and EU legislation will get penned into British statute books one way or another. More prisons, more taxation, more poverty, more immigration, more terror attacks, more arrests of the wrong demographics, more suicide and so on. It’s a cycle that goes round and we can’t stop it now.

        Far too much is invested in dictatorial globalism by the banks, societies (law and otherwise) and private organisations that helped build the EU, UN, WHO etc. over the last century to have it even partially dissolve at the will of the people. I think the higher establishments want Corbyn in because he and his Leninist cabal serve their interests so perfectly. He is, after all, a longstanding member of the very Fabian Society which birthed all of the above disasters. I recommend reading the history of this group. Informative, if your stomach can stand it.

        Unsurprisingly, the very phrase “conspiracy theory” was coined by the CIA (1969, was it? I forget now) as a means of fomenting public mockery against those who learn and say too much. It may not wholly deter investigative reporting and scientific research per se, but does usually ensure that the results do not reach the public as desired. Indeed, the public seem to generally believe anything that is the very opposite of fact. I get morons guffawing at me all the time online and in person. My favourite slur is: “I
        think you’re tinfoil hat’s too tight mate.” I roll my eyes and let it slide, purely because everything I have stuck my neck out to predict in the last 20 years has come true. I can’t take an iota of sour pride in it, either; it’s all been too depressing, frankly.

        Still, silver linings. Wine hasn’t been outlawed yet. CHEERS!

      • Thank you. You can find Rose Martin’s “Fabian Highway” book as a PDF, for free, if you look for it online. Try reading it without internalising its 1966 publication date and see if anything within its pages have changed in the last half-century. Some of the paragraphs will make you laugh and gasp a little.
