Parallel Universe

Somewhere in a Parallel Universe there must be Facebook Friends who only share UKIP and Tory Posts, there are EDL creatures who are  friends with BNP/Britain First. I suppose although cannot scientifically prove it, because I wouldn't want to and I don't really like science! What, hold it there old Sharkie Fisherman, you pint sized piscine impersonator, "What do you mean you don't like Science? Are you trying to tell me that you are one of these Creationists"? No, I don't like Science and Maths ever since school. Those topics were a turn off. As a Welshman I am afraid to say that the topic that I liked was English and that is why I am writing this now in English. The human brain tends to deal in absolutes, if you don't like this, then you must be one of those. Boxes and Brackets where we ourselves can remain secure and never has this been so obvious as in the political realm at the moment. I am never sure whether I am a left leaning liberal or a liberal leaning leftie! Am I Green Left, Green, Left Unity. I couldn't call myself an out and out socialist without feeling uncomfortable because I know where I have been politically and socialist socks are ones that I have grown into rather than ones that I was born with so there is always a self stigma of 'Fraud' whenever I use that word to describe myself. I am Republican and Anti-Monarchist but what about these other people in the parallel universe because they must exist but maybe they are more covert than the Left. Admitting to being a Tory or a UKipper is only something you can do in certain geographical parts of the UK without huge derision. If we have such a vast swathe of political opinion then it can only lead to a Dis-United Kingdom and a weaker Dis-United Kingdom would be meat and drink to 'our' media created enemies, ISIL & The Russians at the moment.  So the media are whipped into a frenzy of fear by Whitehall who in turn mercilessly whip us. Why don't we just refuse to watch television, a media blackout, what about the ostrich in the sand approach, let GCHQ and MI6 do the worrying for us because as sure as eggs is eggs we can't do anything about it. Standing around the Aneurin Bevan Statue, which by the way needs a jolly good clean by Cardiff City Council Cleansing Department, feels jolly desperate especially when the rest of the world is walking by with its shopping. Unless mainland Britain is bombed again as it was in World War 2 will people stop shopping and think "Hang On, maybe I should pursue a more austere lifestyle, perhaps rationing wouldn't be such a bad idea, perhaps it might reduce my obesity because at the moment I know that I am comfort eating because I am so unhappy" and so it goes on. But you sound like a Tory boy saying that, that could be straight out of the mouth of Gideon! As someone who has had to run the gamut of Ian Duncan Smith's welfare reforms how can I even entertain such filthy ideas. Well, from personal experience I know that the Welfare System is not working and that it does create dependency in some. It created it in me. Don't worry fellow left wing liberals I am not going to join the parallel universe of right wing thought but I just want you to think for a moment about what is going on in that primordial swamp called the subconscious. Are you too having dark thoughts that might be misconstrued as from another political ideology. Some wag once said that you could put a cigarette paper between far right and far left ideology...and I think it was me.
