There are different types of these characters, from the political ones like Nigel Farage and his ilk from all political wings, to the muesli knitters, yogurt weavers and tofu welders and garage guddlers. Muesli knitters are serious back to the land types who want self sufficiency in food and clothing and recomend vile tasting potions to you for every sniffle. Yogurt weavers often add a new age spiritual slant to the previous and seem to think that when they meet that elusive creature known as a soul mate then they will have amazing sex without anyone having to sleep in the wet patch. Tofu welders tend to be male and have new age ideas about technology and how to create it, they are related to garage guddlers although garage guddlers tend to be more nuts and bolts types who would like to reinvent the infernal combustion engine to run on nettle juice or some equally unlikely substance.

  • This post reminds me of some colleagues over many decades in many of the supermarket jobs that I’d worked in, who believed that their number of years working in non-management positions on the checkouts and shop floor, stores, bakery, meat counters, etc gave them a kind of “degree” in psychology and other related fields without needing to go to university, based solely on life experience - at the time, I initially thought they were totally wrong, but since Covid, I’ve begun to rethink their words of wisdom and in many cases they turned out to be correct, as they were firmly grounded in reality that has been lost by many in our society and in our times, even in the last 5-10 years before Covid - the sense of basic moral values and common sense based on traditions that were once highly valued has been lost since my teens in the 80’s

    The Illegal Ravers from the Late Eighties/Early Nineties ended up becoming Teachers, Nurses, Social Workers, Journos and 'Life Coaches'. They pursued their Green Agenda to the ends of the Earth. Calling for 'Class War'; while they could afford to travel across Europe.

    What a fool I was to have watched Captain Planet. That was when the indoctrination began.
