We're people this dumb before television ?
It's a good question but as I listen and watch Teresa May make her party speech one has to wonder at the subliminal mechanism in the mind which allows us to suffer such amnesia. When words and presentation have no substance, when recent history shows a completely different mind set, how can we believe a word she says. And yet the majority will, if for no other reasons than reality is too hard to bare and we are in default mode most of the time.
At least Corbyn has been true to his beliefs for 40 or more years. He has stood before his peers in parliament and repeatedly argued his beliefs. Even as the Leader of the Opposition when it is nearly incumbent on him to follow the populist view he continues to propound his beliefs. He is openly ridiculed for what he believes and yet is steadfast in repeating them to the 'artificially created hostility' of press and media coverage.
If you had a friend who's voice would you rather hear when you needed to hear the truth
How many reports will you read or hear coming from the TV regarding the content of Mrs Mays speech which then relate back to her stance as Home Secretary only two months ago. I doubt if there are any.
Is it then 'counter productive' for politicians to have views or opinions when, in a month or so, you can shatter that particular opinion and hold a diametrically opposed one without so much as a blush to the audience.
Without question we clamour for the media's dreadful deceit showered on Jeremy Corbyn, for his lifelong sincere political standpoint to be corrupted and yet willingly absorb the 'catch all' phrases that successive leaders of both Parties utter day in and day out.
Do we all suffer dementia, is our memory wiped clean every night or are we in a state of suspended animation, subsumed under the crashing weight of dis-information as our sensory system, evolved over eons of time can do no justice or make no sense of the media mad world we live in today.
