Viewed from our Brexit-addled British shores, the last few days have been a source of unparalleled joy and bemusement in watching the UK’s right-wing press and their talking heads trying to make sense of the outstanding Republican efforts in blowing themselves up inside their own trenches, insofar that they completely ignored it and instead resorted to the usual by-the-numbers focus on woke stuff, always the handy last refuge of the I-don’t-understand-it-anymore crowd. Supreme Trump arslikan Nigel Farage, a man who has stood unsuccessfully for Parliament seven times and who led the principal movement to extract the UK from the EU, descended into head-swivelling nonsense by proclaiming Kari Lake as the future of the Republican party, unwilling to upend his unyielding toadying to the orange Fuhror by ignoring a certain Floridian politician coming up fast in the rear-view mirror. The right-wing press, demonically delirious in the run-up to the mid-terms with an endless stream of articles and opinion pieces regarding the forthcoming knee-capping of Biden and the decimation of the Democrats, had to rapidly abandon their finely-prepared gloating and the resulting coverage of the tiny pink ripple had all the level and depth of a local single-sheet neighbourhood gazette covering a council ward by-election somewhere in the hinterlands of Wales. Luckily the right-wing TV news here in the UK is comically inept with zero viewers (take a bow, GBNews), but there was great fun to be had in tuning in and watching the on-air discussion descend into the inevitable moaning about trans issues and boat refugees, outstanding stuff. With the Conservative Party now having to abandon their Republican-like obsession with low taxes in order to plug the horrific black holes in the UK’s financial koffers (after 12 years in power still trying to blame the Labour Party for financial mismanagement) and today’s depressing quarterly GDP figures confirming an on-going recession, there is little ammunition for the unilateral/nationalistic crowd to be had at present and the miserable failure of their Big Brother across the pond to ride towards glory on the back of tired cliches may hopefully continue to provide unrivalled merriment at their ideological discomfort.
