| People feel disenfranchised. Someone articulates their feelings and they get on board. Sometimes they’re so fed up they’re prepared to overlook aspects they might disagree with. The rest of the political establishment is out of touch and unable to connect with disenfranchised groups. It then has to play catch up to the populist who trades on being an “outsider” and the only one who understands them and is not an “elitist”. The establishment can’t win because no matter what the facts are they are committed to “change” and have invested hope in the populist.
Centrist politicians need to reconnect with the public and get out of their own echo chamber. Mainstream parties have been too busy to cosy up to lobbyists and have forgotten about who they’re meant to represent.
The media meanwhile love a controversy and flock around someone who “tells it like it is”. This then sets the agenda. Farage and the right have been very effective at doing that for the past 6 years. Centrist views just don’t get the clicks/airtime. There seems to be a vacuum at the moment in the centre. The loudmouths on the fringes are getting all the attention and nobody is properly able to hold them to account.

| I'm just so excited about the [iKing[/i and [iCronus[/i having such friends in high places.
I can't be the only one on here envious of the pair of them, can I?

30596_1286642206.jpg If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

I once said "Hello Gordon", to Gordon Strachan when Manchester United played Hull City sometime in the eighties and I was playing in the Boy's Brigade Band. He replied; "Hello".
Does that count?

I once went for a pee and was at a urinal between the late Sir Harry Secombe and the Archbishop of Canterbury. Does that count!?

| Still laughing about Lebron James' friend is training in a single engine crop sprayer. IF his friend exists then it's not an airline I'd use. A guy who worked as a barman where I stayed for quite a while was saving £30k to start his simulator and classroom based course, unless his "friend" is doing his personal/private licence, not commercial.
