So I was convinced that "Aurora Bosotti" was a made-up name..as its well known that some of the more scurrilous newspapers run quite a few pf their more absurd articles under false names to hide journalists' embarassment.

But the truth, well its even stranger than that..

Yes Aurora Bosotti is real.
One of the most vicious of the new breed of Express "journalists" who specialise in whipped up xenophobic "Brexit as war" reporting with a a significant overlapping role at the Newspaper for stalk-baiting Meghan Markle.

But who is she...?

Well surprisingly she doesnt just have the name as a distant family legacy or as middle class affectation...Ms Bosotti scourge of the europeans, liberals & Scots...is of course Italian...and whats more has impeccable european connections...

Now you may be wondering...

Yes Ms Bosotti or should I say Signora..used EU freedom of movement to move to UK to study, then when was given the chance to work for a EU instititution in Scotland. She then completed degrees in those most liberal of discipines human rights and journalism..

Now at this point you have to consider why would an Italian move to the UK to study human rights, work for a European institution in Scotland....and then spend their time writing anti foriegner, pro Brexit, anti Scottish articles for the Express....?

Well the only answer I could come up with came from quite this place:
"Artefact"

A web magazine of impeccable young, progressive journalistic credentials - its run by the reputable University of the Arts London.

So how does this explain it?

artefactmagazine.com

Well looking over the site I found that those articles by Aurora Bosotti are quite prominent...but there's something else about them...

artefactmagazine.com/author/aurorab…

...it suddenly dawned on me....they are without doubt the worst written on the website.
I mean - not bad for a 2nd language, but not really something from someone you'd think would have a future in journalism.

And that ladies & gentlemen pretty much sums up media in Britain in 2021.

A fresh faced young italian barely out of school with all the benefits modern Europe has to offer...found that she didn't have enough to get a longterm career in EU institutions, human rights....

...but it was all too easy to rattle off absurd fact free anti european "articles" for the Express.

You've got to laugh really.

British Brexiters are so awful at journalism...we have to import averagely talented italians with a liberal arts degree to write the rubbish for us.

This is a difficult to write.
In fact, I’m sure a few will block me after reading this thread.
But it has to be said. Some claiming that a national progressive Alliance is something that can be magicked up simply don’t know what they're talking about.

Lets start with the Greens.

So here’s a question why doesn’t the Labour party form an electoral pact with the Greens?
Surely the Greens would win lots of seats.
The answer is almost certainly – No.

WHY?

The answer is simple – FPTP
But lets start in a strange place – Bassetlaw.
Very “ungreen” politically.
“RedWall” as media call it – Labour now Tory.
What does this tell us about Greens?
Well it had one of the biggest swings in electoral history – massive.

For those amused by Morrisons "non EU salt & pepper" the story is actually deeper than you think.

For a start its comepany have a long history of "national gestures", for a start there were...

At the height of the difficult Brexit negotiations, for example, Morrisons changed the name of Brussels Sprouts to "British Sprouts".

All of this was part of a longstanding "patriotic strategy" by the company.
independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

The company was led by Sir Ken Morrison for decades and was avowedly British refusing to invest abroad....all that is except for Gibraltar as part of his longstanding campaign to keep Gibraltar British. Despite the pack of economic sense it made.

As i keep telling you…there is simply no point analysing Brexit from a normal political or economic perspective.
It’s utterly pointless.

Brexit & Post Brexit Britain can only be understood as a psychological-cultural development.

This is why we need to work to get govt out.

The level of disinformation is now so high, so emotionally charged & spread by people who a few years ago would’ve been considered relatively rational…that opposition parties and rational actors must deal with this situation as if dealing with a psychologically damaged person.

As anyone who's dealt with this type of situation (as indeed, for that matter, with addiction) will tell you a "step-by-step" process is the best bet to recovery.

Anyone who thinks UK society is going to recover from this instantly in some "euraka moment" is fooling themselves.

Boris Johnson, the end of Elizabeth’s reign, Brexit, Irish unification & Scottish independence are not just connected politically they also mark the end of Britain’s post war cultural era.

It marks the final end of empire & the end of a cultural deference to British pragmatism.

There are essentially 3 paths Britain can go down now

1. Holding on dysfunctionally
2. Complete split
3. Euro aligned UK federalism

However paths 2 & 3 are probably just a function of path 1 + time.

The struggle in the upcoming years will be between 2 and 3.

The longer 1 goes on the more the balance is tipped towards 2.

+UPDATE+

A motion recommending the suspension of Conservative MP, Owen Paterson, will go before the House of Commons on Wednesday, November 3.

The UK govt has now accepted the vote is inevitable after very few Tory MPs supported Paterson's contention that the report was flawed.

UK Govt's final end strategy will now be to convince enough MPs to vote against the suspension despite the obvious record of corruption.

If they don't, and Paterson is suspended for 30 days a "recall petition" would seem inevitable.

This would likely trigger a by-election.

Should enough Tory MPs vote against the suspension in order to prevent it...they will of course go on record of voting to prevent the absolute mildest of rebukes for clear corruption by a sitting MP.

If you are looking to "punish" Labour or the LibDems for not being (as you see it) not "instant rejoin enough", you might do well to consider that by the end of the next parliament...

...not a single person in their 20s will have had the chance to vote in the 2016 referendum.

Britain surely has had enough of narcissistic politics.

Those 20 somethings, & soon 30 somethings, who had no power over Brexit surely deserve better than to be held hostage by people trying to play silly games.

Time for sensible politics.
Strategic thinking.
& clever voting.

If the already 60%+ who dont want a Tory govt can find a way to get Conservative seat count below 310 then the next govt will be a coalition of 2 to 4 parties - all of whom have pro european voters, members, MPs & leaders.

If that isn't good enough for you - YOU are the problem.
