The Great Recrudescence: Farage, the Far-Right, and the Uses of History History Never Repeats, But It Bloody Well Rhymes

The Great Recrudescence: Farage, the Far-Right, and the Uses of History

The far-right doesn’t repeat history. It rhymes it — badly.
Farage, Reform UK, AfD, Wilders, Meloni: the old menace in new clothes.

A dictionary entry for a neologism, lead. lead /lɛd/ noun & adj. Neologism (antonym of woke) 1. n. A person exhibiting intellectual inertia; resistant to new information, complexity, or nuance, often clinging to outdated beliefs despite overwhelming evidence. “He’s pure lead when it comes to climate science—nothing gets through.” 2. adj. Describing a mindset characterised by mental rigidity, gullibility, and sycophantic deference to authority, often coupled with selfishness or prejudice. “Her lead opinions on immigration are straight from the morning tabloids.” Etymology: From lead (the dense, heavy, and malleable metal), evoking the imagery of a mind weighed down, impermeable to change, and sluggish in processing—cf. lead brain, lead-headed. Synonyms: close-minded, inert, credulous, tribalist, reactionary, anti-intellectual. Antonym: woke (in its original sense).

Introducing “Lead” — the Antonym for Woke That You Didn’t Know You Needed Every now and then, a word sneaks into the cultural bloodstream and becomes both a badge of honour and a punchline, depending on who’s holding the syringe.

Introducing “Lead” — the Antonym for Woke That You Didn’t Know You Needed

Sometimes you just can't be bothered unpacking what woke means to the credulous lead, so here's my counter neologism, lead.

Hope you find it useful!

Here’s to round 2 Jezza lad. Looking forward to the journey

I've been beaming for weeks knowing he's coming, but there was always that chance he wasn't. I am walking around with a bounce today. Such as good signing

Florian Wirtz transfer news: Liverpool agree British-record fee for Bayer Leverkusen star Liverpool have agreed a British-record transfer fee to sign Florian Wirtz; total package is £116.5m (€137.5m), made up of £100m plus £16.5m in potential add-ons; Wirtz is now free to speak to Liverpoo...

There will be no bigger signing this season. All that waiting to spend a bit of cash and FSG have gone and done it. "A dog with 2 d**ks" does not describe enough how happy I am with this.

Coutinho for us was an absolute baller and right up there. Unplayable in his prime with us. Wirtz looks like he plays very similar to Coutinho. If he turns out better I won’t be complaining

I think he’d dropped off his peak a bit before joining Barca. His peak was deffo with us. He never got going at Barca

Florian Wirtz transfer news: Liverpool get 'significant increase' in chance of signing Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Liverpool are interested in signing Florian Wirtz and have received a significant boost in their hopes of landing 22-year-old Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder; Man City have cooled their interest...

Imagine signing peak Philippe Coutinho right now. That’s how good Wirtz looks. Can’t believe how close we are on this

Bradford project produces ‘outstanding’ rise in children’s physical activity JU:MP programme included co-design of play spaces, exercise in faith settings and interventions in schools

@theguardian.com

This article would be lovely to read, but why is this sentence needed?

“In the Shipley area of the city, which is predominantly white, investment in activity clubs saved parents from paying for after-school and holiday activities.”

Bit racist

What a cracker Szobo lad! Lovely #LFC

At last. It was going to happen eventually, but to know there’ll be a new left party before the next general election is very exciting. TFFT

I’m not sure I like that. It’s a yellow, but he was fouled first. Bad it ended with a red. #LFC

Conor Bradley lad. Take a fucking bow with that tackle #LFC

Arteta’s already got the ballboys lined up to take them blame and claiming victory based on the first 5 minutes performance

#LFC

Job. Done. #YNWA

Would say so

It’s gonna be an interesting one. Nervous, but looking for to it. Slot knows what he’s doing but it’s not him choosing. But we’ve done pretty well in recent years

Yeah agree with that. Trent’s a great player but we can play without him, but without VVD in-particular at the stage we’d be screwed. And Salah… the legend

Mohamed Salah: Liverpool forward commits future to club by signing new deal to stay at Anfield Mohamed Salah has committed his future to Liverpool by signing a new contract at Anfield; Salah was set to be out of contract in the summer, amid speculation linking him with a move away from the Reds...

Legend status—as if he wasn’t already.

That’s how you do it Trent, lad. Come on!

Teenagers guilty of killing Bhim Kohli, 80, in park attack A 15-year-old boy and 13-year-old girl are convicted of the manslaughter of Bhim Kohli.

It is sicking that the far-right, championed by Farage and his followers, have weaponised our kids into domestic terrorist attacks

Farage and that ilk should hang their heads in shame

If you live anywhere that’s in any way affected by Trump’s illegal and stupid tarrifs (hint: that’s everywhere), please watch and share the video below. It’s really important that people understand what’s actually going on right now with #TrumpsTradeWar.

We cannot continue to start so poorly and expect to fluke a result each game. Very poor and lazy first half #LFC

THIS. #HandsOff

Lesson here in not letting VVD hand out the biftas before kick off. We’re on a go-slow and getting battered for it #LFC

What a shower of shit we look at the back without Alison in net. Brings the whole team backwards when he’s off

Absolutely garbage defence going on here #LFC

WTF is Robbo doing there. That’s a never ball, ever. FFS #LFC

What a cracker Macca! #LFC
