Get ready to agree with almost everything he says, but be aware that he will subtly and intelligently slip in 5% that is society-breakingly evil.
Jordan Peterson narrative:
Politicians can't be expected to know everything about everything; we just need them to say sorry when they get things wrong.
Flaw:
They're meant to use their civil service experts. They could have checked BEFORE they wrote their HS2 manifesto! #BBCqt
Jordan Peterson narrative:
Politicians take a financial hit when they enter politics.
Flaw:
Boris Johnson was a millionaire.
They're earning 100s of £1000s. Their financial difficulties are NOTHING compared that of people on universal credit, whose lives are at stake! #bbcqt
Jordan Peterson narrative:
Stopping MPs from making bags of money on the job will discourage the most successful business people from entering politics.
Flaw:
Politics needs people who are motivated by empathy for others, not capitalist greed. We'd get MORE corruption! #bbcqt
Jordan Peterson narrative:
Stop talking about "institutional racism" because it's too abstract.
Flaw:
The Yorkshire Cricketing body who said it was just 'banter' to call someone a p*ki WAS A F******G INSTITUTION!
Can we PLEASE recognise that it's not OK for the government to pursue policies which their civil service experts say will be hugely damaging to the country.
The civil service are the government's experts. Boris Johnson studied Greek poetry! HE DOESN'T KNOW BETTER!!
The Government's experts came to the conclusion that pursuing Brexit would hurt the people of this country, NO MATTER WHAT DEAL THEY NEGOTIATED.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
That means supporting FPTP and expecting Labour governments to be in power long-term, when FPTP is statistically proven to benefit the Tories, is insane.
Boris Johnson: 'The best way to ensure every MPs IS properly safe is to get Brexit done'.
Translation: Follow my political agenda or you may die.
...which is the attitude behind every political assassination ever committed... promoted by the most powerful man in the country.
If someone came to your workplace and told you the best way to ensure your family is safe is to vote for x, you'd call the police!!
The fact some people seem to think mentioning that our Prime Minister knowingly used death threats, is just "political point scoring" terrifies me.
We've become so numb to a man who once conspired to beat up a journalist that mentioning the evil stuff he's said and done is seen as political point-scoring.
Just because our broken voting system means this stuff doesn't get him removed DOESN'T MEAN WE STOP TAKING IT SERIOUSLY!
I'm catching up on the full Lord Frost speech now. I'm 2 minutes in and I'm already really embarrassed.
It's like he's literally trying to buy time by talking about any random historical anecdote that pops into his head!
Oh my god!
Lord Frost opened his speech by basically telling the EU: We don't negotiate based on reason. We're just angry.
How is Lord Frost even alive?
Surely just to breathe you need to know that you exist, and that's a level or self-awareness that is clearly beyond him.
Negotiations with EU ✅
Legal challenges ✅
Parliament battles over negotiating positions ✅
UK divided ✅
UK international laughing stock ✅
Arguments over whether Brexit is damaging economy ✅
Northern Ireland borders uncertain ✅
No-Deal threats ✅
How exactly is Brexit done?
Just ask yourself this question:
The Brexit fatigue that the slogan "Get Brexit Done" was designed to appeal to...
Do you think that fatigue was about whether our signature was on the EU treaties, or a desire to no longer hear about the things listed above?
