Trump Derangement Syndrome v Farage Fixation Syndrome… (528)

 What is the significant difference between the US’s racist orange menace with the broken brain who is breaking America and the UK’s racist frog-faced charlatan who broke Britain?

Trump became politically popular after endless media promotion then wrecked America. Farage wrecked Britain while endlessly promoted by the mainstream media and then made real political gains…

(in the context or recent local election results in England…)

I’ve written before about Labour’s Starmer being in counter-productive appeasement mode re Trump’s America. However, there is something disturbing going on in UK domestic politics re our own bargain basement used-care-salesman, chief gurning racist, discontent-manipulator and man using politics to enrich himself – Nigel Farage.

It's long been identified that the remaining rump of the Tory party – Cameron’s infamous ‘swivel-eyed-loons’ - are desperate to colonise F’s Reform UK voters. They are realising too late that even a leader as off her trolley as Kemi Badenoch cannot out out-loon Nige.

But Labour is also attempting ‘muscular and heard-hearted’ to appeal to the aggrieved, sprinkled with anti-migrant political pepper.

It’s never worked, it never will work and it will alienate the increasing number who see Starmer’s Labour as Tory-lite at best or those - like me – who remember Blair’s Iraq invasion and have a horrible sense re Gaza, that Labour's penchant for instigating or being involved in situations that put 10’s of thousands of brown civilians in body bags is just too uncomfortable.

In the US, MAGA label anyone who dislikes Trump’s autocratic chaos as having Trump Derangement Syndrome. One state in Texas is trying to have TDS officially added to a list of mental illnesses!

Now Trump is planning a Kim Jong Un-style military birthday parade for himself costing $billions – I ask again – when will enough be enough for Starmer?

The Tories have had it for a while. Now Starmer’s Labour seem to be suffering Farage Fixation Syndrome.

And, as in indication that we never learn the lessons of history – even the very recent lessons – here is another old doodle from that strange fateful year 2016…
