So, things have moved swiftly along in the election. In that absolutely nothing has changed. Regardless of the parties policies, their behavior in the lead up to the election or basically anything at all – nothing will or can change. Theresa May can suggest there are boy jobs and girl jobs. And Enjoy fox-hunting. Yet nothing will change.

Looking outside the trees are swooshing and waving as if none of this is happening. The mew music I’m listening to seems to continue regardless of all of it. And yet it still happens.

This hopelessness is a feeling outlined by Russell Brand two years ago around this stage and it didn’t do him many favors. This time around we’re expected to lap up the empty rhetoric and soundbites as if the global carnage that seems to be unfolding doesn’t count for anything. The Tories offer a strong and stable leadership against a coalition of chaos apparently. Labour are for the many not the few. Yet both parties could slogans and no one would seem to notice. The Tories are for the many self-interested border-line elites that seemingly hide in middle England and they are chaotic in their dictatorial leadership.

If you look at the policies which have been announced you’d almost think that Brexit Britain is a libertarian paradise, each policy coming out more progressive than the next. The Lib-dems have announced their plan to monetize cannabis which should be a no-brainer. Labour are re-nationalising. Yet none of this matters. The Tories will go on unscathed and strip us bare of any national services we once had.
Though Labour have done well thus far they have still missed opportunities or played them badly.  They leaked a manifesto which was mildly received. It was full of leftist policies which they set themselves up to be grilled on. There was something naive about this leak, either it came from a disgruntled Blairite opening Corbyn up to pressure either that or, and I think this is the most likely, it was leaked by the senior figures in the party who leaked it out of pride that they can use the new Microsoft Word. This pride seems naive and over eager and played in to the right wing medias hands as well as the Tories who now have to release a manifesto which takes aim at Labours. (presumably from the position of strength? Perhaps mention of the economy? Who knows, they are such an imaginative bunch!)
Corbyn has also commented on the US relationship which should resonate with any human being. This was relatively canny but who’s to say that May can’t do the same nearer the election. She can give Trump cold feet at the alter and rekindle the relationship once she returns to her throne. All she would need to do is send a selfie and re-tweet one of his proposed genocides.
So for all their cunning and nous thus far they have still left themselves open to the Tories main attack – which is slander. Labour is the younger funny charming kid in the playground, who can never really be older. They are showing the impetuosity of youth, something which can be an excuse for the momentum of support but not for Corbyn, this will hopefully blow up in my face and he will swell like an 80 something Sanders in an uncompromising situation. I hope the wave of support in the polls keeps going but I doubt it.

The ransomware-hack should be seized upon by Labour, this is a result in two Tories failures. They have run the NHS on next to nothing and subsequently opened it up for something like this to happen. And, they have been the party of national security and May, the key exponent in the cyber snoopers charter. How then can something like this be allowed to happen? Have we not seen a rise in extremeists too? Blame that on them. Why not?! It won’t matter because they have no-platformed debate. They have ruled out any opposition. This is the Tory secret attack, stay silent or as near to it until the few days leading up to the big day. The big reveal in a card game. This is a snap marathon not a snap sprint and that is what’s wrong with abour thus far. I just hope that Chairman Corbyn has been training with the sub-two hour Nike marathon team if they are to continue the way they are going. For all the slight tingle of hope I feel, I also have a sense that this will end brutally in a evisceration and derision. And probably a fragmentation of Labour.

This is all unlikely to have happened. Records have since been deleted and so will you be. I await that day. Yesterday I spoke to a CEO of a multi-national company. He was wearing bad shoes. They may have been expensive shoes but they were bad. He was wearing the loosely enforced company uniform – a branded t-shirt- which he himself must loosely enforce and still chose to adhere to. He was rushing around looking stressed and talking earnestly about the multi-nations. He drove home in a new expensive car. Underneath his shoes and that company branded polo shirt and inside his expensive car was an actually quite tall, slightly overweight naked man. He may be rich and powerful respecively,  but he is failing to realise that he is naked. And that beyond the multi-nations and skill-sets, none of this is happening. All there are are swishing trees, new music and naked people.

Leaky naked people.
