Instead, as its name suggests, it is a political action committee - an entity almost entirely unique to the US. There, PACs are used by corporations, special interest groups and the super-rich to funnel huge amounts of money into politics, either by donating directly to their favoured politicians in key races or mounting political campaigns on specific issues or in support of broad movements. 'They are very powerful over there,' explains Bullivant, who has worked as a journalist in the US. 'They're very good at the 'drip drip drip' of education and the behind-the-scenes legal initiatives.

Lynch and the RMT will be first up against the wall come my Crushed Velvet Remainers' Revolution. And yet, as well as being a Brexit arse, Lynch is also the greatest British spokesperson for workers' rights, and leftwing values generally, this century.

Supplementary #WebsiteTheConversationBenjaminCurtis "In philosophy, an argument is a reasoned debate aimed at truth. But in many other contexts, people often do not view arguments in this way. They view them, rather, as battles to be won. Their goal is to get their opponent to concede as much as possible without their conceding anything themselves. Viewed in this way, whataboutism is an effective strategy. It works on the principle that offence is the best form of defence. By launching a counter-attack, you place your opponent on the back foot." https://theconversation.com/whataboutism-what-it-is-and-why-its-such-a-popular-tactic-in-arguments-182911 #MetaphorWarfareCounterattack

Supplementary "Boris Johnson's infamous 'Get Brexit Done' slogan was dreamed up after a disgruntled Yorkshire woman first uttered the phrase in a focus group, it has been revealed. The three-word catchphrase - credited with helping the Tories win the 2019 general election - was formulated soon after the woman said it during the session in Bradford, according to the party's election mastermind Sir Lynton Crosby." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/get-brexit-done-origin-yorkshire-woman-b1914214.html #PhenomnBrexit #IRLPoliticalStrategistLyntonCrosby [Wikipedia] And https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/aug/01/revealed-johnson-allys-firm-secretly-ran-facebook-propaganda-network
Addendum The new Conservative digital campaigners, both New Zealanders in their 20s, also flew around the world to promote the interests of clients such as Glencore, one of the world's biggest miners, while concerns - which they strongly denied - were raised about some of their behaviour in the office. The pair's arrival comes after their success helping Australia's rightwing coalition unexpectedly win the country's general election, where they were praised by local media for their understanding of how to fight online campaigns. Purposefully low-quality memes based around popular shows such as Game of Thrones were used in a bid to drive interactions - good or bad - at any cost, on the basis that this would boost the reach of future Facebook posts. 'We'd make them really basic and deliberately lame because they'd get shares and lift our reach; that made our reach for the harder political messages higher,' an anonymous individual told the Sydney Morning Herald, dubbing the strategy 'boomer memes' as the content appealed to older audiences. In recent days, the Conservatives have begun purposefully posting badly-designed social media material, at one point urging MPs to back a Brexit deal using the often-derided Comic Sans font. The Tories' political opponents lined up to mock the image, inadvertently sending it viral and ensuring it was seen by a wider audience."https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/aug/01/revealed-johnson-allys-firm-secretly-ran-facebook-propaganda-network #BrandTophamGuerinTGSeanTopham and #BrandTophamGuerinTGBenGuerin #EpistemologyAmateurShittyMemes

Potential voters were assigned one of five personality groups: risk-takers, carers, go-getters, individualists and supporters. Each got a tailored message. Risk-takers were viewed as highly neurotic and susceptible to ads that pricked their fears, Cambridge records show. Go-getters, on the other hand, would respond better to messages of optimism and the promise of a better future. ... For the gun industry, a Democratic majority in the Senate and a Hillary Clinton presidency would have meant more legislative battles and a possible return to gun restrictions and loss of profits.

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheTelegraphEdwardMalnick "The advertising boycott of GB News shows Britain can no longer take basic democratic values for granted, the Culture Secretary has warned. Writing for The Telegraph, Oliver Dowden said a 'vocal Twitter minority' was targeting the 'free and diverse media' and the 'right to dissent'. The Cabinet minister pledged: 'We will not stand by and allow that to happen.' In an escalation of the Government's so-called 'war on woke', Mr Dowden insisted the fledgling centre-Right broadcaster is right to seek to 'empower' viewers who feel that their 'concerns have been unheard'. His intervention came after several companies withdrew advertising from GB News in its first week on air in the face of a 'stop funding hate' campaign. Mr Dowden said: 'When he launched the channel, veteran broadcaster Andrew Neil vowed that GB News would not be 'an echo chamber for the metropolitan mindset', and that it would 'empower those who feel their concerns have been unheard'. 'Rightly so. A free media is one that has a diverse range of opinions and voices.' Mr Dowden identified the protection of journalism and political opinions as 'the grounds of a functioning democracy', adding: 'Sadly, we can no longer take them for granted. 'Across the West, our values of tolerance and freedom of expression, for which previous generations have fought and died, increasingly risk being undermined by a small but vocal minority. For them, these are not absolute, but relative, concepts, ready to be bent to silence dissent from their world view.' In an interview with The Telegraph, Frank Luntz, the veteran US pollster behind use of 'climate change' instead of 'global warming' said he fears 'capitalism' is becoming a 'bad word' in Britain, and said he is seeking an alternative to the word." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/06/19/exclusive-gb-news-boycott-shows-cant-take-democratic-values/ #NMUKGBNews #OrgClassifPPUKConservativePartyOliverDowden #MetaphorSpatialEchoChamber #IRLPollsterFrankLuntz [Wikipedia] #PhenomnClimateChange #PhenomnClimateChangeGlobalWarming #PoliticsCapitalism

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheTelegraph "For centuries, public statues and monuments have been erected to celebrate individuals and great moments in British history. Most were erected not by government diktat like in the Soviet Union - but by public subscription, by a borough, village or a parish, a college, a regiment or a local business. They reflected the people's preferences at the time, not a single, official narrative. They are hugely varied, some loved, some reviled, many forgotten, but all part of the weft and weave of our uniquely rich history. Latterly there has been an attempt to impose a single, often negative narrative which not so much recalls our national story, as seeks to erase part of it. This has been done at the hand of the flash mob, or by the decree of a 'cultural committee' of town hall militants and woke worthies. We live in a country that believes in the rule of law, but when it comes to protecting our heritage, due process has been overridden. That can't be right. Local people should have the chance to be consulted whether a monument should stand or not. What has stood for generations should be considered thoughtfully, not removed on a whim or at the behest of a baying mob. The statues at risk are not just those of figures who are seldom remembered. It is absurd and shameful that the statue of Winston Churchill should be questioned. Nor is Horatio Nelson safe from the revisionist purge; Lambeth Council has suggested that Nelson's Row may need to be re-named and campaigners have set their sights on Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square. Labour's support for this attack on our past is not a relic of the days of Jeremy Corbyn. It's happening under Labour councils and mayors across the country now, personally encouraged by Keir Starmer, his Shadow Cabinet and Local Government Association Labour Group. Not content with ripping down heritage, Labour in London has raised the prospect of removing tombs of those who are now seen as 'offenders' - literally digging up the dead. Street names are also in their sights. Labour-run Birmingham City Council has already banned new streets being named after historic figures, in place of the anodyne 'Diversity Grove' and 'Humanity Close'. Residents face the inconvenience (and embarrassment) of their addresses being forcibly changed. We cannot - and should not - try to edit or censor our past. At the heart of liberal democracies is a belief that history should be studied, not censored. We should apply the same scorn to the mindless destruction of statues as to the burning of books that we disagree with. Many of these statues were put up by previous generations, sometimes with different understandings of right and wrong. To tear them down, is, as the Prime Minister has said, 'to lie about our history'. It is also to needlessly denigrate and distort our past, rather than to educate, inform and unite people. It is a path we see our American cousins are well travelled upon. And we can, I hope, agree that we don't want to follow. There's a carelessness to this too. We've been here before when a previous generation tore down great buildings to the dismay of the silent majority and campaigners such as Sir John Betjeman. As the late Sir Roger Scruton said, the sentiment that 'good things are easily destroyed, but not easily created' is one that most mature people can share. It is a belief that is at the very heart of conservatism. The law has been used as a bulwark against thoughtless harm to our heritage before. One of my predecessors as Housing Secretary, Duncan Sandys, created Conservation Areas in 1967 to protect our beautiful towns. Like me, he didn't envisage places being set in aspic, but he was saddened by the carelessness he witnessed to the built environment and historic buildings we inherited from previous generations. Following in that tradition, I am changing the law to protect historic monuments and ensure we don't repeat the errors of previous generations. Proper process will now be required. Any decisions to remove these heritage assets will require planning permission and councils will need to do so in accordance with their constitution, after consultation with the local community. Where that does not happen, I will not hesitate to use my powers as Secretary of State in relation to applications and appeals involving historic monuments where such action is necessary to reflect the Government's planning policies. Our view will be set out in law, that such monuments are almost always best explained and contextualised, not taken and hidden away. More details will be set out in Parliament tomorrow. We want to see a considered approach. An approach that cherishes our past, while not being afraid to examine it. We won't allow people to censor our past or pretend we have a different history to the one we have. It is our privilege in this country to have inherited a deep, rich, fascinating and yes, often complex, past. We are mature enough as a society to understand that and to seek to pass it on, warts and all. To do otherwise would leave our history and future diminished." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/01/16/will-save-britains-statues-woke-militants-want-censor-past/ #PhenomnStatueToppling #LiteralFieldHistory #OtheringOutGroupGangMob #TheoryRevisionismHistorical #PhenomnCulturalHeritage #TauntWokeMilitant #TauntWokeAgendaIdeologyIdeologue #IRLHistoricalFigureWinstonChurchill #PhenomnCensorship #PleaOrderPreservation #CatchcrySilentMajority
