Replying to @RobertJenrick
Cos playing or thug? Who knows. But Jenrick has a crucial job. Distracting his audience to benefit the rich. How? Naming enemies: fare dodgers, asylum seekers, travellers, NEETs, alien cultures, immigration judges, refugee charities, police, even ex-Tory mates. Those not like us.

Crass. @LauraTrottMP ramping up her ageing gallery, out flanking, so she hopes, Reform. Expect masked bands of patriots demanding lesson plans and Schemes of Work. FFS, the Tories ran education for 14 of the last 16 years. But hey. An old playbook. Poster from 1987.

Which England? Whose England @SuellaBraverman @OliDugmore #bbcqt? Another England? '... the dregs of their dull race, who flow Through public scorn, mud from a muddy spring; Rulers who neither see nor feel nor know ...' England in 1819 - Percy Shelley #ThisIsEngland

Is this the old trope: blaming fascism on the illiterate, uneducated masses? Worth exploring Harvey Graff, Brian Street and others on this way of thinking about literacy and oracy.
