Rather
perish than hate and fear, and twice rather perish than make oneself
hated and feared — this must some day become the highest maxim for
every single commonwealth. Friedrich
Nietzsche
Two
friends of mine Julie and George Colbran were travelling back from
Manchester on a train just recently. They fell into conversation with
a man on the train, All was going well till the subject of the
European Referendum came up. Julie and George are principled left
wingers and are voting to remain, they support workers rights and
environmental protections. When they said the man the man turned.
His face sneering in hate he called them lefties and told them that
they should fear an immigrant raping Julie's daughter and said that
our country was being flooded and destroyed and that by voting leave
the problem would be solved. The leave campaign has created a script
of hate and intolerance, the vulnerable oppressed by the elite have
been fooled and hypnotised into blaming the immigrant and those of
other cultures.
I
wonder what would have happened had the man on the train been sitting
next to someone of another race or culture. The epigenetic s of hate
are perverting and distorting ordinary people to fear, loathe and
distrust those who seem different. The epigenetic s of hate and
distortion have behind this perception, clever , hard right wing
individuals who know all about this. If we wake on Friday to Brexit
beware if you are different, do not read the Daily Mail or the Sun,
are open to toleration and celebration of different lifestyles,
beliefs and identities
One
of the biggest donors to the Leave campaign has been one Gladys
Bramall from the West Midlands. She has given over £600,000 pound
according to the Electoral Commission. A leaked list from 2008
reveals that she was a former BNP member. It is quite clear what the
implications are. The Leave campaign should return the money. They
have opened Pandora's box , unleashed the demon of hate and
intolerance and offer us scarce hope for the future.
We
stand on the brink...with less than 24 hours to go. Every progressive
must be in no doubt what a leave vote will mean.
We ought to fear a man who hates himself, for we are at risk of becoming victims of his anger and revenge. Let us then try to lure him into self-love.
