Dave (part 1)

David William Donald Cameron

David Cameron has been some of the following things and in some cases still is:

  • A beneficiary of nepotism
  • A multi millionaire
  • An Aston Villa fan
  • A reformist
  • A cocaine user
  • Corrupt
  • Elitist
  • Not a deeply ideological person
  • Figurehead

Entryism (or entrism or enterism) is a political tactic by which an organisation or state encourages its members or agents to infiltrate another organisation in an attempt to gain recruits, or take over entirely.

In situations where the organisation being "entered" is hostile to entryism, the entryists may engage in a degree of subterfuge to hide the fact that they are, in fact, an organisation in their own right.

The agenda set back by the bank collapsing and the following recession set the ground for Cameron and the behind the scenes forces of privatisation, cuts and elitist agendas. If allowed to go unchecked will change the UK for a generation. It will increase the ever growing gap between rich and poor, eventually break up the NHS, destroy the welfare state turn glass ceilings into steel ones and pull up the ladders which had previously allowed some limited social movement. They will turn back society to the Victorian era.

Dave and The Media Agenda

That Rupert Murdoch and his News Corp want to control agendas and maximise profit is not new and well you’d expect nothing less. Part of the idea of having a democratic government is to protect us from authoritarian dictates and bring into the public domain what corrupt people want to keep in the dark. Anyone who makes a lot of money in an industry like the media almost by definition is corrupt. I can live with that. But what I cant live with is elected officials allowing corrupt people to practice on the inside, to turn the media into public opinion forming generators. The Faustian deal struck between politicians and the media allows Newscorp to continue to distort public opinion to fit policy and in return the government will turn protectionist to allow Murdoch and his company’s unfettered access to our minds. A free market is one thing. A free market where all the stalls are owned by Rupert Murdoch and only sell rotting fruit is bad for health and potentially life threatening is another.

So into this arena stepped Dave. Dave himself was formally under the pay of Carlton Media. While working there he oversaw the alliance of Carlton Media and BSkyB. After the meeting an unnamed aide over heard Rupert saying to Dave

“You’d make a fucking good Prime Minister Dave…I think I might have a vacancy for one in the UK around 2010. Now wipe my semen from your mouth it’s unseemly”

So the Sun went with ‘vote Cameron’ the nation slavishly followed. In return the Tories will attempt to kill the BBC by slowly strangling it. The will brief against it, cut ofcom down, slash the license fee and force us further and further up the arse of the Murdoch empire and sound a death knell for pioneering journalism, challenging programmes and anything non-commercial. The agenda…to make us more predictable. The more you can predict consumers behaviour the more money you can make. Cameron is complicit. Predictable behaviour is useful for trying to get elected aswel.
