Credo Thru Rump

The supreme irony of Brexit must be that the patriotic fervour stoked by his mouthpieces is not reflective of a philosophy adhered to by Murdoch himself; who, rather than remain a merely ludicrously wealthy citizen of his native land, gave up his nationality in order to become an obscenely rich member of another.

As the Murdoch press brays about patriotism, there can surely be no better example of the effect (profound cognitive dissonance) of prolonged gaslighting than the bleating of its readership about ‘sovrintee’; deriding ‘remoaners’ as ‘citizens of nowhere’ whilst simultaneously berating the ‘parochialism’ that favours European integration over global ambition.
