Uncle CamerTom “battled for Britain” and got his EU deal, but what exactly was it besides missed sausage rolls? (thisisnocave.blogspot.co.uk).
“So, uncle CamerTom ‘battled for Britain’ and brought down a European Juncker to pave way for the troublesome manifesto promised referendum now set for 23rd June … but really it seems all were exasperated waiting to tuck into the sausage rolls. A clever ploy engineered by a schemer, knowing that politico stomachs have no patience?”
He got the deal he wanted, or so he says, but what really went on, what Brexit preventing deal did he actually nab, and what did others sensing opportunity—and there were many sliding towards the leaving side of the channel ferry—say about it and why BoJo hair rivalry that began at Eton has opportunely spilled out on to the main stage of British politics.
A digest that through the quirky deconstruction of latest stories aims to show that a lot of “belief” is often actually just “agenda” or “opportunity” and media “opinion” is copy to reenforce presuppositions many already have and why philosophy is useful in everyday life in defining—for and by yourself—the difference between what ancient Greeks like Plato defined as episteme (knowledge) and doxa (belief), and not just idealistic training to pack Fyffes bananas. Think a bumper bonanza of those cultural, political and just down right hypothetical you don’t really read in Latest Picks.
