Fascism's Face

Pendle is the capital of an intolerable society, a microcosm of UK’s national irrationality. I dare say, the Slovenian philosopher and culture critic Slavoj Žižek may alert his students in Ljubljana and use Pendle as a cultural ‘insufferable’ phenomenon, whereby political correctness was scorned at and ‘dirty jokes’ referring to racism and sexism alleviated tensions – the one decree being:  both parties are willing to partake and chortle afterwards, alas in an intolerable society the Conservatives have disgracefully torn up the rule book.


In Pendle it’s recommended that if you’ve engaged in this archetypal philosophy, you’ll be welcomed with open arms by the community to the point you can influence decisions. Although, I doubt the Slovenian philosopher would in a jovial spirit make an evaluation that all Asians are dogs. Subsequently causing offence to the recipient who misinterpreted the Tory’s jovial spirit as something of an offensive nature – in this instance the ‘dirty joke’ was viewed as a symptom of an intolerable society. I can only imagine Rosemary Carroll’s social network retweeted ‘hilarity’ was to generate genuine interactions between communities, well they say the canine is man’s best friend -- thus comparing the Asian community with our four legged friends is biological idiocy; albeit, implying the demographic cock their leg up to urinate on a lamp-post is not only racist but factually incorrect and dog-lovers also may take umbrage.

Those, whom walk dogs, understand dogs have a set routine prior to relieving themselves. But what caps this provocative racist comment is that no Asian licks their private parts in public or during ‘The One Show’ when your family is tucking into beans on toast. Why Carroll’s views are toxic and has no place in a democracy she should be removed from public service immediately, then again in a hostile environment anything goes -- henceforth, what kind society would think this was perfectly alright? An intolerable one, whereby the suchlike think a three month suspension period in June 2017 equates to a ‘punishment’ and deemed as ‘a serving of time.’ A racist is always a racist, although there’s evidence that ‘governmental programmes’ believe in Anthony Burgess’s dystopian ‘Clockwork Orange’ theorems that a Tory’s can be taught how to think, state psychological intervention apparently exist, this’ll be discussed later on. The reinstatement actually allows the Tory Party to have total control of the council by a solitary one – ‘dirty tricks’ especially when the Tory HQ couldn’t decide when Carroll was reinstated, it certainly wasn’t valid during the local election campaigning period; for the reason that her name was ‘toxic’ in the Earby (Lancs) area, she had the potential to swing votes away from the Conservatives and onto Labour’s turf. Nevertheless, in an intolerable society these antics happen unceremoniously by default.

Another Conservative orientated complaint for the Electoral Commission to decipher, dear oh dear, they’re keeping Claire Bassett in employment being the CEO; of the premise candidates and subsequent agents must contractually abide by the rules set out by the EC regulation since 2001, by inanely refuting them, it automatically puts Bassett’s job in question too. One of her position requirements is to offer guidance in a bid to aid candidates, councillors and their agents to comply with EC regulations and UK Law. Any discrepancies i.e. controlling a council via underhanded measures by not fielding a councillor due to racist comments and then fielding the same councillor after a hung council result makes a mockery of the Electoral Commission.

Even without the disgrace racist comments and questionable social and moral standards, Earby’s Rosemary Carroll breached the EC ‘s Post-Election Activity mandate. In part 2.1 (Providing Notice Of the Results) it specifically states: You must give public notice of the name of each candidate (to be) elected and confirmation of the number of votes given for each candidate (whether elected or not). Posted in the Ward of Earby was Conservative Mike Goulthorp not the racist Carroll. See graphic below highlighting the discrepancy. 

Rightly so, Labour contested the reinstated Rosemary Carroll, however the fascists claimed she had been added on the ballot sheet earlier. See the yellow highlighter, the name Mike Goulthorp is clearly the candidate – meh, obviously Toryism are living up to their nasty party image again. Although this time, they’ve been caught with their pants around their ankles staring straight at the headlights. Not only is the Carroll fiasco portrays alarming racial double standards beyond myopic proportions thus this is also a testament of an institutional disregard for the Post-Election Activity section of the Electoral Commission. However you view this data or racism or corruption, you can bet there’s a total parody, in this instance bureaucratic waffle – Žižek despises the ideology of papering over the cracks of corruption with convoluted bureaucracy which has no meaning apart from allowing systems to become indispensable. They attempt to conceal racism, sexism and malfeasance so fail miserably on the morality sense, why places like Pendle wallow in hatred and continue to do so.

Hate crime rises are synonymous with totalitarianism forcing a society to react explosively, because their entrenched societal message is: ‘I know better than you, I know what you really want.’   This formulaic messaging was exposed in the truest sense when Pendle’s Tory leader Paul White released this statement: “The (racist) post was shared in error but Rosemary fully accepted the potential upset caused and sincerely apologised. Having served her suspension period she rejoined the party and completed additional diversity training.”  It’ll be a positive step if White expanded on what diversity training entails…let alone undertaken an additional qualification, implying Carroll is cured now exacts ‘Clockwork Orange’ 1971 dystopia; meaning psycho-electrolyse has been performed on Rosemary Carroll purely to amend her deplorable traits. I’m sure the intolerable society will be assured Burgess-styled psycho-programs are now available on the state. Ultimately, Carroll will be experiencing immense nausea when the word ‘Asian’ and ‘Dog’ is mildly hinted; all thanks to the diversity training she’s had.

In retrospect, I fear this sort of training may not work due to Pendle’s recent history; for they identify popular beliefs and help democratic societies to function effectively under the rules and regulations of a legal process. Notably, Pendle’s council believes that the Electoral Commission is not viable though; so I hasten a guess this diversity training embraced Pendle’s public beliefs only and this denotes a greater grasp of racism, of the premise to influence effective racism to gift Pendle and District the isolationism they avidly voted for in the 2016 EU Referendum. Obviously White is delighted to run a fascist society and he’s confident in the ability of his councillors to rid the filth of democratic process, why he banged the phone down immediately as soon as the Huffington Post Press Officer wanted a statement – the result of the diversity training I presume.
