No entanto, é minha opinião que as referências de Boris Johnson para mulheres muçulmanas parecendo "caixas de cartas" em seus burkas, e Donald Trump chamando os mexicanos estupradores está de uma extremidade de um espectro que termina com os terríveis eventos na Nova Zelândia no outro. A razão pela qual o discurso de Enoch Powell "Rivers of Blood" ainda é lembrado hoje é porque era tão incomum. Agora, populistas na Turquia, Hungria, América e aqui estão dispostos a recorrer a comentários racistas para atrair seus apoiadores pretendidos. O fator extra, não presente em 1968, é a mídia social. Assim, em uma extremidade do espectro, temos políticos populistas, que não querem remotamente que as pessoas ameaçam ou agredem, mas cujos comentários levam a um grosso geral de nosso debate público. Os parlamentares femininos foram particularmente afetados por esse tipo de coisa. É GOUNT quando precisamos dele? com blots de tinta e títulos de pergaminho podre. O governo trabalhista de James Callaghan caiu após uma moção de não confiança após um inverno de greves que rasgaram o tecido do país de uma maneira não diferente de agora. O status minoritário do governo colocou o Parlamento sob tensão. Então, foi uma crise, mas talvez não na escala deste. A primavera de 1979 viu a transição de um consenso pós -guerra que havia inicialmente prosperidade, mas havia se deteriorado para um mundo de inflação e greves generalizadas; para a economia de Thatcherism. A mudança deveria ser turbulenta, mas a maioria foi acordada, Sra. Thatcher em particular na época, que o país seria revertido no contexto da comunidade econômica européia. Todos nós prosperaríamos juntos.
Populist politicians are regularly using language now that was once exceptional. The reason why Enoch Powell’s “Rivers of Blood” speech is still remembered today is because it was so unusual. Now populists in Turkey, Hungary, America and here are all too willing to resort to racist remarks to appeal to their intended supporters. The extra factor, not present in 1968, is social media. So, at one end of the spectrum we have populist politicians, who don’t remotely want people threatened or assaulted, but whose comments lead to a general coarsening of our public debate.
So, in the middle of the spectrum many are regarding people with differing views as enemies to be insulted and sometimes threatened. Women MPs have been particularly affected by this sort of thing.
Then right at the other end of my spectrum you have people who take this polarisation in our society to the ultimate which results in the murder of Joe Cox, Christchurch and a host of Islamic terrorist atrocities.
Populist politicians need to be far more careful about the words they choose.
Brexit: Where is Gaunt when we need him?
Whatever I say in this blog will be out of date before you read it, so let’s just settle for excerpts from John of Gaunt’s speech in Shakespeare’s Richard The Second.
…….. “this dear, dear land. Dear for her reputation through the world, is now leased out like to a tenement or pelting (worthless) farm,.. is now bound in with shame, with inky blots and rotten parchment bonds. That England that was wont to conquer others hath made a shameful conquest of itself.”
Forty Years Ago
British politics was in a pretty turbulent state exactly 40 years. The Labour government of James Callaghan fell following a motion of no confidence after a winter of strikes that had torn at the fabric of the country in a not dissimilar way to now.
The late seventies did see Michael Heseltine wielding the Commons mace when he felt procedure was being ignored. The minority status of the government did put parliament under strain. So, it was a crisis, but perhaps not on the scale of this one. The spring of 1979 saw the transition from a post war consensus which had initially delivered prosperity but had decayed into a world of inflation and widespread strikes; to the bracing economics of Thatcherism. The change was bound to be turbulent, but most were agreed, Mrs Thatcher in particular at that time, that the country would be turned around in the context of the European Economic Community. We would all prosper together.
Agora agora não apenas o governo atual está em uma ruína, mas o futuro curso de nosso país para os próximos decades está no perigo.
