Theresa May warns the liberal elite that political insurgents will “tear down” the established order unless they help those struggling to get by (thisisnocave.blogspot.co.uk).
“Theresa May delivered a stark warning today that political insurgents such as Marine Le Pen could ‘tear down’ the established order unless ordinary people are given a better deal. In an apparent swipe at the likes of Tony Blair and David Cameron, the Prime Minister condemned the failure of ‘mainstream’ leaders to improve the lot of those who are struggling to get by. She said complaints about the lack of fairness in society had too often been dismissed as ‘parochial and illegitimate’ while a ‘privileged few’ reaped the benefits.”
No doubt raising a hurricane “hurrah!” from those who’d like their own version of tangerine Trump or kipper mirage populist opportunist without a plan either. But has enough wool been pulled over Lil’ English eyes so those those “privileged few who reap the benefits” are not seen to include her own husband Philip—a senior executive at a $1.4tn investment fund that profits from tax avoiding companies—when making speeches about stamping down kitten heel on tax avoidance?
A digest that through the quirky deconstruction of latest stories aims to show that a lot of media “opinion” is actually just “agenda” or “opportunity” and why philosophy is useful in everyday life in defining—for and by yourself—the difference between what ancient Greeks like Plato defined as episteme (knowledge) and doxa (belief), and not just idealistic training to pack Fyffes bananas. Think a bumper bonanza of those cultural, political and just down right hypothetical you don’t really read in Latest Picks.
