Waving The Bloody Shirt

That there has been another gruesome public murder, whose details have been broadcast across the globe, is no longer a novelty, unfortunately. The fact that it was being exploited within hours by the usual cast of characters, who want to shape this horrific event into a narrative of intolerant, anti-European, anti-multicultural bigoted Britain is not surprising either.

As Brendan O’Neill has pointed out in Spiked Online, the people who want to strangle what remains of British democracy have exploited this ghastly tragedy for all it’s worth-as anyone watching the BBC yesterday afternoon can attest to-and will probably only grow bolder in their Le Bonesque social manipulation in the remaining week and half before the official Brexit vote...

Jesse Jackson wore a shirt with MLK’s blood on it for several days just to make sure everyone knew he was there.

Reminds me of Jesse Jackson rushing to the motel so he could rub MLK’s blood on himself so he could then claim that he was there.

FWIW, I still think that-like much of what Jesse has said over the past half-century-is a lie.
