Abstract painting of geometric shapes in grayscale. A black triangle intersects a gray surface, creating a contrast. Calm and minimalist mood.

A new era of ideological migration by political divergence and Immigration by mass deportation to a third country. The world is reopening its borders to numbers, more out than in!! More boat crossings across treacherous channels seas may actually result in a different package for the criminal gangs to pursue!?! A business venture may model itself on "Where would you like to be deported to? "A free flight paid by the British taxpayer, a free ticket at no cost only to the deportee! "Book now to ensure safe and comfortable transit to a range of alternatives!! " Every week there is a wide selection of either Rwanda or the Caribbean? Next week it could be Zimbabwe or Switzerland? What an opportunity! How else would you want to travel, who knows where? It's a risk but isn't life a risk lived fully?! How's your luck? Chance your arm and you could be living the dream! All you've got to do is survive a perilous journey across the channel and avoid the poverty of living in a run-down inner city British welcome of cold, damp, mold, and infestation in a crime ridden environment! Avoid seeking asylum in the UK and Bob's your uncle and Charlie's your Aunt.


Okay, let's blow fully open the satire doors, and don't take myself too seriously! Why not deport Brits for the new dedicated carnivorous, dedicated hardworking and renew the UK by the most motivated for the marginalised! Boot out the disabled? Kick-out those with mental health challenges, and all those subjected to discrimination (rather than the perpetrators) and rid this country of all those cooperatives; yes, especially Rochdale who started the cooperative movement that annoyingly has started a global movement!!! Why would we do all of that? Because it'll cut the welfare bill! Moreover, sell off guilt, shame, honour and dignity or bury it in landfill! Time to reset for a brand-new successful brand of Brit who are living testament to the UK "Displace and replace "! And don't mention the 'Glastonbury word'! Loose talk costs lives…. well mainly all from Gaza really…. but never fear, governments will tax all those 50 000 dead who will be accused of tax dodging and not paying their way. . . well they sort of paid their way, . . . they actually paid with their lives!!?1 Well they say all that you can count on 2 things in life, taxes and death, so sort of a combo going on there!! It could be worse.. obviously you can't get much worse, but Ta much worse actually be levied by the West, specifically 'no taxation without representation' wasn't Britain's finest hour!


Well unfortunately Britain did exactly that and America kicked us out back in the 18th century but at least we never taxed those who had passed…. but the century is still young! No it isn't, but on July 4th it is independence day, and whilst I can be a pain in the arse to most, I celebrate with Americans and admire your continued commitment in the oldest longest running Republic that remains true to its roots as a Champion of Capitalism and Democracy! Happy Independence Day!


I would like to expand on such a political festival as many, like me, would like to hail human heroes that I believe have transcended the mediocrity of the rest of us and act as a guide to all things and to all peoples on America's Day. Gandhi and Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela are peerless as the very best of us who all fought against Apartheid over many continents and resonate in the message of a game changer who also refused also to be cowed by bigotry and ignorance and retain his sense of humour, the one and only Archbishop Demond Tutu. His immortal words to us all is in the throes of The Truth and Reconciliation Committee was to rise above all the detritus when reaching across time and beyond acrimony when he wrote "God has a plan" and whether you're in Gaza or Ukraine or Sudan etc there will be justice for all and there will be a back case load working 24/7 that may well take 20 years of tireless work to get there, but once the fighting stops the righteous will save us all from our own human capacity to hate each other or turn on ourselves when we're 'bored'!!??



Or enjoy the pleasure and leisure of ideological re-industrialisation of metaphorical furnaces open, full of steel and ideas and innovation, factories full of a new era of Nationalism that connects Marxist Capitalist to neo liberals! welcome to the dawning of an unlikely fusion of hard left and hard right where they both weaponize consensual politics and moderation as a series of dirty words and beyond the watershed of 'radical predatorial' (WOKE and its opposite CHOKE (the latter is an acronym of 'Critics hack our known enemy'), that is tolerable?!


And of whom are we referring to as both erstwhile Capitalist prodigy and now mentor to the key components to corporate takeover and asset stripping of any rival, by low taxes, no stagflation, sizeable economic growth? No longer Isolationism or continentalism, or globalisation, or Marxist anti Westernism but 2 systems China!!? But is nationalism and pan nationalism a way in which China perceives the Neo liberal free market wealthy democracies in which there is much to mutually share and agree over? How did Marxism become so flexible? The Chinese must not be seen purely in a 20th century light but for over centuries as a rich and powerful trailblazer that invented much technological change centuries before the West did and is the very harbour of transactionalism that Marxist Leninism and the Cultural revolution couldn't suppress! Sure, entrepreneurialism is very centralised and controlled by the Communist Party of China, but Maoism and the Buddhist tradition has always culturally been uniquely interpreted and defined by many factors filtered by China, but the loss of the Soviet Union to become Westernised is most reluctantly acknowledged as China's aspiration to reverse or advance!? The CPC has always thought that the Soviet Union was subjected to western amputation of a limb of the USSR, but it is not immobile and fully turned!


But China has garnered the experience of capitalism and the 'conformist controlling' nature of Capitalism and Democracy, whilst China is more centralised and overtly punitive!? But there is a theory that China cannot retreat away from Capitalism and globalisation unless it wants to be 'punitive' and drag the world into an abyss! But it does seem that Western fears of Chinese dominance over Marxist world whilst able to dictate terms via its financial might in a Capitalist system that will depend on China more than it ever thought possible!? But surely Trump's tariffs anticipated a time when there was no going back out of the international Capitalist system for China because it would be too integrated and have too much riding on the money markets etc. Furthermore, coupled with America's leverage calculus, America's indisputable economic power would also be able to show its teeth before China got even, and Trump may have wanted to barely camouflage his global tariff scheme as really an arm wrestle with the Chinese as a comparable with the victory of the West in dismantling the USSR! Well, I hope we, they, us, play nicely, but every decade brings the market's ability to destroy economies and its politicians who are tasked to repair them! But it is Chinese Nationalism not Marxism-Leninism that will not destroy but it will fragment the careful and oversensitive markets and international relationships as an act of revenge if Trump is too successful in outflanking 2 systems China. Making International business open in America for an American workforce and for cheap products made in America's backyard for purchase by Americans or face extortionate levels of tariffs may never be forgotten by the rest of the world too! But Trump has only 3 and a half years left on his last term of office, and he will be the first to complain that his 'legacy' will have been utterly betrayed by anyone who succeeds him!
