New Alternative News Channel "GB News" chaired by Andrew Neil launching - read OP before posting

"Common sense conservatisms" just seems to be a nice way of saying "gullible as fùck".

They literally buy whatever Farage sells and defend the noble leader.

I think Northern Ireland offers a key insight. Current and future generations have little interest in the sort of petty bigotry promoted so earnestly by GB News and defended so zealously here. Common sense conservatism is a crap idea and for that reason, conservatives know it fails in the marketplace of ideas so they create this chimera called cancel culture to hide the fact that institutional corruption and sleaze are only good if you're making a profit. People are losing interest over time in the standard conservative narrative of oppressing people you despise instead of improving the nation.

I was thinking about Margaret Thatcher yesterday. By all means, call her vile, destructive and bloodthirsty but she at least showed strong leadership and could handle her party (well, until the end). Contrast that the with intellectual stunted wretches that make up modern conservatism and it's a remarkable decline in both intelligence and skill. All they can do is spew bile and then whine like the worst sort of spoiled brats when called out on it. They promote based on capacity to fail and loyalty instead of skill which garners criticism which results in the victim narrative being trotted out.

There's as much intellectual rigor to modern conservative narratives as there are to a 4-year old's career plan to become an astronaut but at least the infant is being positive and hopeful instead of shallow, materialistic, hateful and greedy.

RSI from all that nodding?

You say this as if it's a new thing.

I'm sure he will be spending the weekend furiously trying to find yet another racist has been to join him for (what can only described as looking like) another pint of cats piss.
