Incisive indeed. Astute and amusing. You’ve encapsulated perfectly what my sociology professor (Nick Abercrombie) was only grasping at in describing Postmodernism - a dissolution of boundaries between formal narratives, a blurring of “high” and “popular” culture with an attendant destabilisation of meaning. And he never once mentioned Kerry Katona’s tits.
Satre once said that “Hell is other people”. Perhaps Matt Hancock is destined to be trapped in gruelling, unaired reality TV shows, along with other smarmy WEF puppets, for perpetuity as penance for his care home murders.
Great read Julie. So incisive. And I’ll add to that the fact that his rumble in the jungle is a great diversionary tactic to ensure the masses don’t turn their attention on what the b@stards are now up to!
Cheers Janette. It’s just my own take on how I’ve observed it emerge. You can go back further and further with these things. I just thought that to start from when was a kid, and what I made of what I saw taking place was as good a starting point as any.

The way you describe it there, the old ‘levelling up’ phrase come to mind which we all know really means levelling down.
Yes- eroding both cultures to be replaced by a ‘one size fits all’ Primarni sack of shit.
