what Im saying is that as a people we believe and trust what we are told. If were told it often enough it must be true, especially if all you ever read are the tabloids etc. That does not make them thick, not at all, not one bit.
for years and years we were told by certain media that the EU is the problem when in truth the problem started with selfish and corrupt British politicians from Thatcher through blair and onwards. People were pushed further and further down by Britains pursuit of corporatism and if we want to point a finger at the EU then that is the area, also, IMHO, that theyve fallen into the trap of. Neo liberalism, if you like.
No the working class of this country arent thick but they kicked back the only way they could because up to 2015 there genuinely wasnt a different option in a General Election to vote for.
The media led the debate on the EU, the corporate billionaires like Murdoch/Dacre etc. Call it propoganda if you must but the so called journalists of the day serve their paymasters very well whilst those with integrity are pushed into the margins.
So no they arent thick but people are fed, by the media, what they want them to hear.
Take a look on here, as an example, weve a group of posters who actually do see through it all, some who dont but on the whole most do analse to the best of their abilities the issues that we discuss. They dont just leave it with what "Piers Morgan," for eg has said. They think for themselves.
