The working class threw their votes at Etonian Boris, despite the fact he couldn't give two sts about them nor did he really give two sts whether we were in or out of Europe, it was just a big power grab by a somewhat psychotic politician. Its funny what people will do when motivated enough!
But that was a temporary swing based on a promise to free the U.K. from the oppressive shackles of evil foreigners and to be ruled by the King of Chavs instead. We're trending back to the long term base now by the looks of things.

Yes, this is a fundamental underpinning when CT talk about their chosen subjects. Everyone that disagrees with their standpoint must by definition be in a very tight defined box in the far corner. They know this isn't true, yet it is parroted back time and time again.

The real world looks more like...

0.1% CT who refuse to move from their position regardless
99.8% who think about whats put in front of them without an agenda and make a call on it
0.1% Lets use the CT phrase 'govern me harder'

A CT you will see will use tactics like grouping the last two together to make it easier to counter argue, that the extreme other end is wrong, and of course it is, politicians lie, companies cheat etc. but the reality is that the majority sit in the middle without their agenda but instead trying to make informed sensible choices.
One can probably split U.K. society into two groups. Both groups consider politicians to generally be chiselling little sts but the deviation occurs in how the two explain this, the first generally explain this belief by thinking that the bulk of 'leaders' are an amalgamation of incompetents, grifters, loons and kiss arses who generally can't organise a poss up in a brewery, whereas the second group prefer to believe that these people are evil geniuses in league with each other across the planet with extreme and extraordinary organisational and secret keeping skills who all follow orders from a mystical cabal of lizards and that anyone who doesn't follow their religion must also either be in league with the lizards or trapped in the matrix and either way they must agree 100% with the Lizard people.

Some people just have to have a religion to devoutly follow. Many CTs are just 21st century Puritans waiting, primed for a leader to point them at who to put on trains for the next holocaust.

Might be wise to be a little more considered with the emotive language you are using

Let me tell you a little story. There was this general who lost a war, so he made up this little conspiracy that a certain religious minority had stabbed the country in the back and they hadn’t really lost. This was taken up by a failed painter and ex corporal who used it to become head of the country, the consequence of which was that religious minority being put on trains to be killed in concentration camps.

This is why conspiracies should be exposed for the lies that they are.

I'm sure they only exist on social media now, attention seekers who will state anything for 'likes' and 'follows'

Sadly, as per every time in history, these people have absolutely no understanding or insight into what they are being programmed to be used for. They only realise after they've done it and been part of it.

They are the vegetable army of those of nefarious intent.

I recognise the bottom right one. Just googled and he is called Kenneth Copeland and has an apparent net worth of 750m.

I mean god would want him to have all that money and not help the poor or needy

Given that the meek are going to inherit the entire planet, I think they can hardly whinge about giving all of their current paltry earnings away. It's nothing to then.

A possible new Northern lights sighting may be in the offing tonight apparently. The usual moronic comments about HAARP are appearing again, insinuating that it’s all manipulation.

It’s just a University in Alaska fgs.

I’ve found their page, and they are saying that it’s nothing to do with them. I’ve posted it in reply to some of the CTists on FB, only to get the predictable reply;

‘They would say that wouldn’t they’.

Yes, like a University have a dastardly plan on World control, or something.

Thanks. I almost feel sorry for the perv getting lumped in with the three prime nutters but as a grifter collective he is now where he belongs.
