Sun-Tzu & The Art off Fucking Things Up - Part 6

And so, it looks like Dr Stewart Pearson (aka Big Bad Dom) has been playing a blinder all along... 

THE PUBLIC ARE FALLING FOR IT!!!!

Sun-Tzu & The Art of Fucking Things Up - Part 5

“Anyone who knows Dom — including those who professionally respect him — will tell you his strategy is to scorch the earth, destroy what’s in front of him with a mind to rebuilding something else,” said one Tory insider.

Financial Times - 7/9/19 

- Be on guard - 

They haven't stopped yet 

and they won't until they are crushed.

Dr Stewart Pearson

Sun-Tzu & The Art of Fucking Things Up - Part 4

Dr Stewart Pearson (AKA Dominic Cummings) is poised to spend more time skulking around the corridors of Westminster, despite being in contempt of Parliament. He even approached Jeremy Corbyn whilst swigging from a glass of wine and challenged him to allow the desired General Election to go ahead. HWSNBN reports...

"Cummings' rather unsubtle aim of bullying Parliament into an early election and thus allowing a 'Non-Aggression Pact' between Farage and Johnson to return a neo-fascist right-wing government. The premise being that the Labour, SNP, Lib-Dem, Change, Green and Independent Alliance will not be able to coalesce around a united no deal strategy... Kick out the One Nation Tories and replace them with Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Übermensch Tories and mad-dog Brexiteers. Hardly the most subtle of strategies but one that is doomed to success unless... unless..."

And so, the message is very clear. There are no rules, no etiquette, no sense of justice or fair play any more. Just because we are currently having fun at Johnson's expense, don't think for one second they are taking their eye off the biggest prize at all.

A new Britain - unlike anything we've ever known. 

Moments in Love #9

Pevensey Marshes... cold snap, warm hands... Only 2 miles to the sea... only 2 miles

Moments in Love #8

Oil paints flicked and smeared across the Sussex Downs. Poppies cascading from Jevington to Alfriston, an empty church, an open door... a promise

Sun-Tzu & The Art of Fucking Things up - Part 3

This seems to be a rather widely shared view.... We are screwed!

Sun-Tzu & The Art of Fucking Things Up - Part 2

Further update from HWSNBN...

"Dr Stewart Pearson soundalike DC going absolutely Tonto. He is balls deep in a rage. Nobody is safe. PM is cowering in his bunker. SPADS cueing up to jump off roof. DC has alienated so many already. Only the most meek and placid are happy to put their cock in the door for him to slam. 1922 alarm bells ringing. Even RKM concerned but publicly trying to swing heft of The Sun behind beleaguered (hence KFC graphic). Johnson has got 3 days to gain control of No.10... you couldn't make this shit up!"

Sun-Tzu & The Art of Fucking Things Up - Part 1

A close acquaintance is fortunate enough (or otherwise) to be a bit of a player in the current to-ing and fro-ing in the darker corners of Westminster. I received this today...

"Badly dressed Leave Campaign Übermensch DC convince that his zen like mind games are propelling the country towards well... disaster actually. And quite honestly he doesn't care, in fact he stands to benefit significantly from the chaos and carnage he is reaping. £ collapsing - doesn't care. PM already been rumbled - doesn't care. Government majority lost in a trice - doesn't care. Marching BAME women out of no 10 at gunpoint - doesn't care. He is Farage's advanced guard. This is not about the Country or Conservatives (about whom  - doesn't care). This is about him and him alone. It is just a game, whether he wins or not  - doesn't care. The man genuinely thinks he is Sun-Tzu, when in reality he is nothing more than a cut price Dr Stewart Pearson."

Moments in Love #7

All day Tequila Slammers, Cadbury Flakes, the gentle wash of summer jazz sweeping the room, curtains half open, no tick no tock - alone in the Universe... Stateless

Moments in Love #6

On the water's edge, cold breath clouds, waves rattle the shore, a gentle shimmer, wind whips up the Channel, Royal Sovereign lights - a dizzy cycle

hands thrust in pockets weary, eyes lowered, the whisky in the bottle won't make her return, yet forges fierce anamnesis of the sweetness of her kiss - a dizzy recoil

The only good thing about a Fascist Coup - The resistance!
