No Lies, No Deception, No Chance...
Robert Kilroy-Silk is not a Good person. He is rotten to the core. An obvious statement, but one that explains every part of his career to date. Here is a man who sees himself as a political messiah, believing that it is his immaculate ideas and the backing of the Great British public that has cast him in the limelight. It does not occur to him that he is merely a twisted and crazed attention seeker who used to be on the telly.
Indeed, he is a vain little fraud, a rabble-rousing speech on legs, a hypocritical piece of sewage who refuses to acknowledge that he, and he alone, is the cause of all his problems. He blames the world for his own mistakes. His speeches are useless, poisonous and devoid of reason, and it is only his hard-learned understanding of mob mentality and how to tell people what they want to hear that allows these acidic ramblings to be heard.
Ah, the traditional anti-Kilroy rant. Still, we all need to let off steam occasionally. So plump up a cushion, sit back and chant along with the gratuitous abuse. It’s nothing you haven’t thought yourself.
So this is a man who with ran a tawdry morning chatshow in which he held himself up as a beacon of truth and beauty against the ugliness of the ordinary person. It didn’t matter to him how vile, rude and offensive he was because he had long ago decided anything he said was uncontestably Right. He is James Goldsmith and Enoch Powell rolled into one... Journalists love him as a news story because he is weird and frustrating and massively self-obsessed, and is so easy to write about the stories write themselves. Kilroy knows all this and rides this wave right into the front rooms of Britain without validation or welcome. His weapon is rhetoric, and he is seriously armed.
Let us examine this last point further... his main tactic is the same as the likes of Richard Littlejohn – ignore the complexities, logic and reasoning behind an issue and simply build columns of seductive rhetoric that takes small parts of that issue and blows it up into the whole argument. In this way the word “bogus” can attach itself permanently to “asylum seekers”, the concept of being pro-Europe can be swamped by Brussels hysteria, and multiculturalism is magically reinterpreted by Kilroy as the art of ditching anything to do with English history.
And which of the following do you think is more successful?
“The issue of immigration is a massively complex one involving ethics of behaviour that call on the work of philosophers such as Kant and...”
...or: “You are being lied to! Now is the time for you to claim what is rightfully yours! Lots of glittering prizes can be yours if you vote for me! Here’s £200 right now if you promise to...”
The small scale success of the British National Party...whilst remaining minute in the scheme of politics... proves that an opinion leader can easily let fly with streams of fucked up lies that appeal to one horrible truth: that most people will lap up anything that directly benefits them, even at the expense of others. Tax cuts...public sector spending...new hospitals...fair enough. These do not directly harm others. But shipping people back to their deaths to allow the English to feel comfortable that the people next door to them remain white to the end of time...this is worrying.
Frequently, the problem does not lie with the voters themselves. The foulest views are allowed to be aired because they are dressed up by the speaker in strange clothing to disguise an amoral core. Not even the BNP would be stupid enough to say they wish to restrict immigration because they think that non-whites are stupid monkeys with invasive customs and a weird smell. Rather, they concentrate on the idea that the white male population of England are being persecuted daily.
Eh? That sound you hear, folks, is the sound of your mind boggling at a thousand rpm. There are even journalists on national papers who fill up their columns with choice morsels along the lines of: “the white middle class of England are the only people nowadays that it is acceptable and even encouraged to persecute and abuse...”
Oh, really? Been tortured, abused and forced at gunpoint to accept other people’s customs recently, eh? What rotten luck.
Well...yes, Kilroy is a soft target. This much is clear. Particularly because he reacts badly to criticism, blaming the media from all directions for being against him. He tends to ignore the fact that any discussion, no matter how disinterested, will always conclude that he is a watery-headed buffoon with no real talent beyond image manipulation.
But Kilroy remains a soft target because the arguments against him are made by city living people of reasonable intelligence, an immediate mistake in the arena of rabble rousing. And he is a soft target not because he has a comical tan or a certain way of talking; no, it is because he is a mad, jabbering whore who should have been ripped apart by wolves years ago. Because he is clearly wrong. He is a liar. He is a LIAR. Fuck him.
Or make your own mind up. Your choice.
