In the latest episode of London Calling, James and I discuss Justin Trudeau’s political future, argue about how influential Klaus Schwab is – James thinks he’s essentially Dr. Evil sitting in a bunker somewhere in the Alps and issuing instructions to world leaders – and disagree about whether to cling on to nurse – Boris – for fear of something worse. I’m a clinger, James is a binner.

“Dr James Moreton Wakeley is a former parliamentary researcher with a PhD in History from Oxford.”
I’m afraid it shows.
I think it’s necessary to be able to stand a bit more outside the box of the political class to present a more penetrating observation of it.
Not “a fantastic original essay”. It just doesn’t get to the essence. More a missed target, if correct in parts.
Yes, but the question begged is who are the political class dancing around. Moreton Wakeley is quite funny about their victimhood but how about Gates, Schwab, Soros, Bezos, GAVI, GM food, digital surveillance etc. These are what Boris Johnson with his limited vocabulary would say are making “fantastic” progress while the rest of us are under the cosh

Not bad, but I agree with Rick and Phantom, I have read better in LeftLDS and Iain Davis and in Off-Guardian where the authors felt able to be more decisive and specific.
However it makes good points about group-think , this applies to a wider London metro set than just politicians of course and in my mind is fundamental to the problems in the UK. It applies to ‘climate crisis’ as much as covid. There is a set of people who hated that Brexit and Trump delayed their imperious movement to a global hegmony. They are using covid to ‘get their own back’ in as unpleasant a way as possible.
But this is not a conspiracy with a capital ‘C’, its just the confluence of forces that want to make a lot of money and gain a lot of power by unleashing a resource constraint capitalism , using a fairly mild virus and 1degC/century of ‘heat’ as the means to pump fear into the populace and create a regime with them on top.

Mr Wakeley is right about the preference for computer models over empirical evidence, but to explain it as the result of the education of the political class is mere labelling, a non-explanation. I have no doubt they would prefer empirical evidence in a micro second if it suited their purposes.
