"Many have mistakenly thought of the Blob as a conspiracy. It is far more durable than mere conspiracy." Yes absolutely. The Blob is very large and has spread via a self-perpetuating "shared assumptions, incentives, and ideologies" kind of osmosis.

But there is another widely shared delusional comfort blanket - amongst right-leaning journalism and its online ecospjere - the idea that all this has been forced onto a hostile electorate. Whereas (groupthink and hive-mindedness being what it always is) those shared assumptions have diffused themselves widely amongst the tertiaty-educated professional middle class. And diffused themselves to tens of millions.

I recently wrote on this theme (but in an American context) about...."a 'conspiracy-theory' narrative where everything gets blamed on a so-called ‘Woke elite’. This is a malign elite who (so we are told) have been ‘in control’ of it all. A kind of Wokievellian Illuminati. In this telling of our 21st Century hyper-progressive dystopia, Woke reality has simply been foisted on a great mass of grounded and well-adjusted citizenry. Yes, they have put up with it, but entirely unwillingly. Hence the proposed answer to the problem is for this ‘Woke elite’ to be vanquished by new swashbuckling Trump-type administrations in order to Make Everything Great Again.

.The more dispiriting truth is that if there is such a thing as a ‘Woke elite’, it is a very big group of people. One which perhaps comprises a majority of all those Westerners who have been through tertiary education. That’s one hell of a lot of people to label an elite. The new-right online ecosystem is nevertheless awash with Woke elite theorising – as Googling ‘Woke’ plus ‘elite’ or phrases such as ‘techno-managerial elite’ will show.

Nevertheless the "Enemy Class" is a brilliant phrase....I hadn't come across that one till now.

It is an easy trap to fall into, but I hope also easy to climb out of ..🤔😃...

.

There is no 'elite' - that is their term for themselves that is delusional.

.

By using that term as they intend you are conforming to their whims & cementing it.

.

They are HERITAGE FAMILIES - via Land, Trade, Religion & Administration Tentacles.

Some imagine it is a pyramid but this is misleading for obvious reasons when its nature is known & the symbols they employ for millennia are considered more fully.

This may help I hope-

It will be interesting to see this report, especially if it names names. There are a few people I remember from my past who have ended up somewhere in the Blob, and it will be interesting to see if they are mentioned.

It is all a systemic inevitability ,& process that is well entrenched in the MAYA MANIA MACHINARY- dominant since Industrialisation I feel.

I am overjoyed to see you explore a specific focus regarding the information contained in my posts pre-dating this-

I find this 'Blob' quite frightening - a law unto themselves. How dare they!

Charlotte Gill uncovers the money trail involved in NGOs and charities, many of which are functional insurgents within our government. Typical of 'that class', thinking they know better than us Oikes.

@CharlotteGill is doing extensive work on this fraud.

I agree with the sentiment of this endeavour. The public certainly needs to be made aware of the government-advocacy complex, but what are the policy prescriptions? Presumably just preventing government from funding overtly political and advocacy-led organisations? What more can be done beyond this from a legislative and policy perspective? (As an aside, we absolutely need to abolish Gift Aid. Why should the taxpayer subsidise your random, potentially dodgy charity without knowing who they are or what they do? Last time I checked it totalled £500m a year) In any case, looking forward to seeing the report. Important work.

I would call them the Ruling Leeches, sucking the live force out of the rest of us. This is why it feels like we are living in a totalitarian state.

Thanks for the heads up on this impending report Pimlico, it's appearance will be most timely.

Reform are going to have to have their ducks in a row, if in '29 their majority, shd it even occur, is as small as is suggested by George Maher's recent drill down into the local election results. Cheers Rupe! Fanks a lot mate.

The election is very likely to be late next year, if the markets intervene, and yes the teams led by Danny Kruger & James Orr are lining up the whole game plan. Don't worry too much about 'uncle Rupert', he seems to be getting a lot of online boost from various Regime aligned entities and individuals but how that cuts across in the last days before the actual vote remains to be seen.

The good voters of Makerfield are fully capable of considered independent thought, as they proved with the Brexit Referendum and in the most recent local elections.

Yes, Uncle is, to paraphrase Intel Lady, 'Tory Adjacent'!
