I do like a bit of a spunky-looking candidate!
I thought I'd go and check out this Billy T K, as I had heard people talk about him so much.
He also raises some issues where we know that the official line has been less than honest in the past, so that sounded interesting.
And, you know, trying to be open, do my own research, think for myself, that is important, isn't it?
So I found one of his talks and listened to it. On Facebook.
It seems quite an informal little talk, just off-the-cuff, in a day-to-day environment.
A few minutes into the talk I hear this sentence:
"Without Democracy you don't have Outdoors, you don't have Conservatism, you don't have Monetary Reform, you don't have anything".
Having done a bit of study in social psychology, that made my ears prick up.
I asked myself: "What is he actually trying to say?"
"No outdoors without democracy?! Eh??"
Having learned to analyse this kind of thing, I found all these red flags:
1) It's a sentence that is meant to arouse emotion, rather than convey any real meaning.
2) Look at it: 'Outdoors', 'Conservatism' etc...
A sentence that means nothing but chimes with as many as possible.
2)The sentence structure also, with its sequence of buzz words, is designed to be emotive and bypass clear thinking.
Straight from the handbook of manipulation.
That is not just a little informal off-the-cuff talk, there is some sophisticated speech writing behind it!
He's just there to attack the govt, sow confusion.
Who for?
My guess is as good as yours.

Calling all those in Wheelchairs
Hi, I'm Simon .... a 44 yr old wheelchair user who wants to meet others in a similar position as myself (particularly a woman). I've been a sole parent now for almost 18 years and my son has just left the nest, so I thought it was time to start on the next stage of my life. I have cerebral palsy that effects just my legs (kinda the reason I can't walk) sooooooo if any of you are interested in getting to know me, flick me a message. I enjoy spending time with my son when he comes to visit and my pets (1 cat and 2 birds), I also enjoy building computers as well as a bit of gaming/watching TV too. So if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, shoot me a message.
