#NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesJenniRussell "For years, Britain's inadequacies have been compensated for by its membership in the European Union. Now, they are about to become painfully apparent. ...
Britain is not an economic powerhouse waiting to be liberated. We are a country of mediocre education and limited skills, whose preening vanity has prevented us from seeing our failings. Our membership in the European Union is not a set of restraints; it is what has been propping us up." https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/28/opinion/dunkirk-christopher-nolan-brexit.html
Context: JenniRussell "How I wish that Christopher Nolan's new film, 'Dunkirk,' had not been released at this moment in history. The reviewers have been near unanimous in their praise: searing, complex, uncompromising about the savagery of war and death. Yet the essential message of the film, with its narrative of heroic retreat in order to fight another day, cannot help but feed the national pride in Britain's capacity to triumph eventually, no matter what the odds.
Nothing could be less helpful to our collective psyche as the country blunders toward Brexit. We hear much about American exceptionalism, but Britain feels it, too" (28 July 2017). #PhenomnBrexit #2017_Dunkirk

Addendum: the #ReasoningFallacyConfirmationBiasIToldYouSo #BehaviourSmugness tenor of this tweet strongly suggests a #OtheringCaricatureBrexitBrexiteer perspective. Put bluntly, who benefits from wishing ill of the EU? Such characterisation also evokes a metaphorical othering exemplified by the #PhenomnBrexit #CatchcryLoveEuropeButNotEU, where #ToponymEuropeUK was (erroneously) understood to be separate from #ToponymEurope, creating a distinction (evoking #MetaphorSpatialTerritorialGeography symbolism) where #ToponymEuropeUKBritishIsles and #ToponymEuropeContinental are framed as being wholly distinct (and so incurring no impediment through their divorce).
This reminds me of #IRLScholarGeorgeLakoff's #TheoryLinguisticsConceptualMetaphorCMT analysis as per: "Consider Brexit, which used the metaphor of 'entering' and 'leaving' the EU. There is a universal metaphor that states are locations in space: you can enter a state, be deep in some state, and come out that state. If you enter a café and then leave the café, you will be in the same location as before you entered. But that need not be true of states of being. But that was the metaphor used with Brexit; Britons believed that after leaving the EU, things would be as before when the entered the EU. They were wrong. Things changed radically while they were in the EU" (23 July 2016). http://george-lakoff.com/2016/07/23/understanding-trump-2/ #PoliticsNationalismRomantic

Supplementary: #AdvocacyEUSocialEuropeJustusSeuferle "Two competing ideas about the worker dominate contemporary discourse. The first--predominantly found in the United States--is cultural; the second, once prevalent in Europe, is material. The cultural definition, often reflected in self-identification surveys, hinges on the colour of one's collar. It distinguishes between blue-collar and white-collar workers--those who work with their hands versus those in bureaucratic or intellectual roles. Under this framework, even a small business owner can be considered a worker. The only criterion is a sense of cultural belonging tied to one's type of work.
This vague and malleable definition leads to absurd outcomes: a brash, orange-hued billionaire with a neoliberal agenda can be hailed as the champion of the working class.
In contrast, the European tradition has historically adhered to a materialist, Marxist perspective. A worker, in this view, is someone who owns nothing but their labour power and is therefore compelled into what Marx termed 'relations of production' with those who control the means of production. Marx described the worker as doubly free--free from external coercion to labour, yet also free from ownership of the resources necessary for survival. This condition creates structural dependency and limits individual freedom. By this definition, liberal democracy has yet to fulfil its promise of liberty for the working class.
This framework does not rely on cultural identity or habits but on economic position. It sees the term 'worker' as a measure of dependence." https://www.socialeurope.eu/how-the-right-hijacked-the-working-class-for-culture-wars #ReasoningFallacyAppealToTraditionEverydayPeopleEveryman #TheoryMarxism #CatchcryIdentityPolitics #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #TauntOrangeManBad #IdentityClassBlueCollar #IdentityClassWhiteCollarMiddle #PoliticsCapitalismNeoliberalism #IRLSociologistPierreBourdieu

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 i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynton_Crosby 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 #BrandTophamGuerinSeanTopham and #BrandTophamGuerinBenGuerin #EpistemologyAmateurShittyMemes

#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/

tweet responding to #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianWilliamKeegan https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/apr/04/the-brexit-elite-cannot-hope-to-fool-us-for-much-longer which characterises those who voted for #PhenomnBrexit in 2016 as being conned. The tweeter responds with a #OtheringCaricatureBrexitRemoron, which is a variation of the more familiar #OtheringCaricatureBrexitRemainer
#PoliticsNationalismBritishLion versus #OrgEU cat? as variation on the familiar #MetaphorVersusSheepLions i.e. overt #PoliticsNationalismBritish Note, 'English' and not 'British' as the Scots and Welsh tend to revere their own national symbol in preference for the Lion i.e. the Scottish 'thistle', the Welsh red dragon, leek and daffodil. Because Northern Ireland was only partitioned in the 20th Century, their national symbols tend to be those derived from their shared history i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_symbols_of_Ireland,_the_Republic_of_Ireland_and_Northern_Ireland

Supplementary: "Brexit is rooted in imperial nostalgia and myths of British exceptionalism, coming up as they have -- especially since 2008 -- against the reality that Britain is no longer a major world power... Those most under the spell of imperial nostalgia have now become the sorcerers themselves, having somehow managed to conjure up a mandate to transform Britain in their image." https://www.boell.de/en/2019/11/08/brexit-threat-human-rights-feminist-analysis #PleaNostalgiaImperial #PleaGlobalBritain

"bilateral agreements with more than 100 countries to enhance 'connectivity' by building infrastructure projects and deepening economic ties. In the run-up to the event, many critics have highlighted the projects' negative impacts on host countries, such as debt traps, land seizures, corruption and environmental degradation. Some have pointed out the difficulties of establishing fair methods for resolving the many disputes that are arising between China and its new partners. A few have criticized the failure of certain projects to create adequate jobs for locals.
But one group of victims is often overlooked: the Chinese workers dispatched overseas to build these projects. If discussed at all, these migrant workers are generally demonized as the infantry 'invading' the host country and 'stealing' local jobs. In reality, they are extremely vulnerable to exploitation by their employers, sometimes even more so than their local co-workers.
The International Labor Organization reports that there are 14.2 million people in forced-labor situations worldwide and that indebted migrant workers are particularly vulnerable. Overseas Chinese workers are no exception.
The recent federal criminal conviction of a Chinese construction firm executive for subjecting workers in New York to forced labor is a case in point. According to trial testimony, prior to leaving China, the workers signed contracts promising to not interact with locals, to not leave their residence without permission and to return to China after completing their multi-year assignment -- at which point the bulk of their salary would be paid. Each worker was required to post a security deposit of more than $20,000 [USD] to guarantee his compliance. Once in New York, workers' passports were seized and they were required to work long hours and live in unsafe conditions. Fear of losing their security deposit and not collecting their earned wages essentially handcuffed them from escaping this exploitation."

Addendum: I wonder how much perspectives such as this are shaped (determined) by strategic efforts to undermine the neutrality of UK media - namely, the #NMUKBBC's mandate to report with impartiality and the limited opportunity for those with money to unduly influence public debate through privately sponsored television (as seems to be the case in the US). I'm thinking here specifically, of Vote Leave CEO, Matthew Elliott's criticism of the BBC here:

Addendum: this comment reminds me of the classic sketch performed by #OrgUKMontyPythonJohnCleese, #IRLComedianRonnieBarker & #IRLComedianRonnieCorbett about the British class system:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W34CsPPw5uM&t=27s where in this case, those most critical of Brexit i.e. the "liberals with their Spanish Villas" / #IdentityClassWhiteCollarMiddle are framed as enemies of those who are (supposedly, unanimously) most in favour i.e. #IdentityClassBlueCollar + #IdentityClassRuling. One wonders though, who actually benefits most?

Supplementary: "Yet conservative elitism has a problem: it assumes the existence of conservative elites. As the mainstream media, the bureaucracies, the universities, and even big business move leftward on a host of issues, this assumption is increasingly problematic. Conservative deference to contemporary elites can only lead to more conservative defeats. Conservative success often requires circumventing ordinary representative democracy, winning political victories via initiative and referendum processes at the state level." https://lawliberty.org/book-review/the-promise-of-populism/ #EDUUSArizonaStateUniversityDonaldCritchlow #MetaphorDeceitLugenpresseMainstreamMediaMSM #OtheringElitesConservative #MetaphorWarfareCultureLiberalEducation #TheoryPerformativeCorporateAllyship #PoliticsDemocracy #PoliticsReferenda #PhenomnPopulism

Our raison d'être is to be able to rule ourselves, our fishing grounds and our democracy with representatives who can easily be booted out.
