Marcus Fysh – Another fanatical Brexiter caught in the spotlight of the #ToryCorruption scandal
Here's an example, not so much of Marcus Fysh's imbecility but of his abusiveness and lack of care for the country.

What is kleptofascism? Kleptofascism is the harnessing of fascist propaganda themes and techniques by the sociopathic super-rich and their political and media minions. For example, Brexit "Will of the People" rhetoric echoed Goebbels' response to a Nazi referendum victory. ImageImageImageImage
Here is Professor Timothy Snyder explaining how the political right on both sides of the Atlantic are helping themselves to the Nazi propaganda manual, using simple emotive slogans to divide the population into friends and enemies.
What is the goal of kleptofascism? The goal is to install the rule of the libertarian oligarchs and their political hirelings as outlined in the "Sovereign Individual" co-authored by William Rees-Mogg. It's a system very akin to that in Russia - oligarchy posing as democracy. Image

In 2003 Sajid Javid took his Deutsche Bank bonus via a Cayman Isles scheme, which he volunteered for, that was ruled by the Supreme Court to constitute tax evasion. He took part in a scheme designed to defraud the HMRC of tax revenue and enrich himself.
nicholaswilson.com/sajid-javid-ho…
Sajid Javid could have declined to join a scheme which very obviously aimed to deprive HMRC of tax revenues, whether legally through a loophole, or illegally. He was already wealthy, so it was greed and disloyalty to the nation that guided his decision.
It's not surprising that Sajid Javid engaged in this tax haven tax-dodging scam. He's a devotee of Ayn Rand the promoter of a cult of amoral selfishness and ruthlessness – in short, the worship of sociopathy.

A move to rejoin is a long way off. But if Starmer rules it out then he can fuck off. We are the majority and we've had five years of patronising insults from the Labour leadership.

A Progressive Alliance is necessary, but we can and should back pro-EU parties within an alliance
There is no evidence that Labour would suffer from being critical of Brexit, because it never has been critical of Brexit as such.

And Labour's Brexit stance makes it look patronising, insincere, weak and manipulative - hardly a recommendation to the electorate.
What I suspect many people want of government is not merely policies, but a sense of clear and definite leadership, clear principles and the courage to stand up to difficult challenges. A party leadership that looks driven by focus groups and private polling is hardly that.

1/ Keir Starmer says there will be “no rejoining” of the EU under Labour and says he wants to “make Brexit work.”

Labour - 5 years of collaboration in the worst right-wing crime against the British people and democracy in living memory.
2/ I support a Progressive Alliance. But within that alliance we can join, support and campaign for the pro-EU parties. And the lower Labour falls in the polls the more it will be pushed towards accepting a Progressive Alliance and supporting PR.
3/ The idea that Labour would be harmed by criticising Brexit is a myth based on zero empirical evidence. Labour has never criticised Brexit, and the facts show that that failure culminatted in catastrophic electoral defeat.

1/ Yes, the Paterson fiasco confirms the threat Boris Johnson poses to British democracy, but the article does not go deep enough. Johnson is merely the symptom of social and economic changes that have fundamentally transformed our politics.
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
2/ I wrote this article explaining how deindustrialisation and other economic changes have shattered the working & middle classes as coherent political forces, thus enabling the Tory elite and their super-rich patrons to rule over a fragmented electorate.

3/ The dramatic economic and social changes wrought by deindustrialisation make it far easier for corrupt, negligent and anti-democratic populist politicians to rise to power within the Tory party and the nation. Johnson is just a symptom of a much deeper rooted malaise.

To understand Brexit it's very useful to know about James Buchanan, an immensely influential market fundamentalist economist who believed democracies were parasites and advocated stealth attacks against them. His ideas inspired the mega-rich Kochs.

Here's another article on James Buchanan and the Kochs - 'The Ideologues Who Want to Destroy Democracy to Save Capitalism'.

By way of an aside, billionaire Peter Thiel who now has access to our NHS data believes capitalist democracy is an oxymoron.

In 2018 Liz Truss slammed regulations in a speech to the Koch funded Cato Institute, a US market fundamentalist think-tank backing, among other things, an environmental roll-back after Brexit. The Cato Institute was founded as the Charles Koch Foundation.
