What a load of nationalistic bollocks: Gordon Brown's speech to the Labour Party Conference

In response to, "No jokes from stern British nationalist", by Michael White on Gordon Brown's first speech as PM to the Labour Party Conference

Link to article and thread at The Guardian.


 "Mr. Brown spoke as a British nationalist . . . . Nothing wrong with that: national myths are comforting, . . . ."

"Nothing wrong with that". Are you sure?

"British nationalism" is not so much a myth as a LIE, in which are clothed the power structures of the British state, which Gordon Brown now heads, and the primary purpose of which is not to serve, but to EXPLOIT society. This is the fundamental LIE that we have all grown up with and thus believe, including Gordon Brown himself, I'm sure, who has a bigger self-interest in believing it than most of us.

His speech was a perfect example of how we are still blindly (subconsciously) dominated by our dumb-animal nature and behaviour, which it sought to cultivate, manipulate and exploit. Surely, I cannot be the only one who recognizes this?

From an evolutionary/anthropological perspective, Gordon Brown is better described as our "Prime Ape" rather than as our "Prime Minister".

I feel like I'm being driven down the motorway at breakneck speed with an ape at the wheel, who wants to go even faster; on and on, oblivious to the fact (only being an ape) that up ahead the motorway comes to an end.

Once it does, we are in for a short, very bumpy ride, the PM's foot still pressed down hard on the accelerator (since all he sees is a "racing track" and the other cars he is competing against), before plunging us over the edge of a precipice.

I wish I could tell him to take his foot of the accelerator NOW. But even if I had the opportunity, he'd probably just look at me and think it's ME who is MAD.
