    I know Gary likes to play dumb and assume this isn’t actually the goal of the rich and powerful all along but they have been executing this class war now for 45 years. Its not like its new and its had universal support from every government since the early 1980s. It is what the ruling class wants, because they get to own everything and live even better. There is a reason you can’t get Labour to do anything about it they have been pursuing this intentionally since the 2000s.

      And also bizzarely attached to Labour.

      Even his chats with Polanski seem to get ended with a “come and talk to me Labour-daddy and I’ll play with you instead, he’s not my first choice” attitude.

        Maybe its genuine on his part then and he isn’t playing dumb he just doesn’t actually realise that Labour has been bought and paid for by the rich and wealthy since the end of the 90s. He does keep thinking he can get Labour to change tune, yesterdays interview on channel 4 he is still talking like Labour can be pressured into wealth taxes to save themselves from wipe out in 2028.

        I think he does so in that he makes it out as best as he can to not be left vs right as people have been propogandised as to what those terms mean, and he wants to appeal to the masses; but in practice it’s pretty left coded.

          Facts are facts regardless of who says them. It doesnt matter that people think it’s a left wing idea bcz honestly this affects everybody and is the reason right wing demagogues such as Trump have risen to power.

          They offer simple solutions to problems that don’t address the root issue.

        By not admitting this is actually something the government is intending and helping happen. He is treating the powerful as if they are unaware of the impact of what is clearly their chosen strategy and what will happen.
