Muhammad Haque daily world political commentary

Whose patriotism is it that robs the adherents of their human faculties?
This question occurred to me again today when I was suffering the over-hyped, over-respectablised BBC Radio 4 propaganda slot ‘Any Questions’ broadcast for the second time during this lunchtime.
A Benn, ‘not a Bennite’ [his own pompous disclaimer] was included in the orchestrated noise emanating from the BBC.
And what a difference in substance and implications the ‘Benn, not a Bennite’ typifies from being what is alleged to be a ‘Bennite’!
Tony Benn’s son Hillary Benn was not only pompous as usual but was also a consistently ignorant racist who clearly was deprived of a decent education.
By a decent education I mean the instruction in seeking and learning the truth about what makes our world and what breaks our world and the guidance to show lifelong recognition to that truth and use what skills, abilities and powers we may have in the course of our lives to upholding the rights of others. For if we do not, the world will collapse.
And all the details of seeking and acquainting ourselves with that are relevant in that aim.
This racist Benn was using the terms ‘we’ and ‘our’ in the sense that today’s edition of the daily propaganda guide for racists in Britain, the Daily Mail does.
And that ‘we’ and ‘our’ [and the logical ‘us’] sense was being conveyed by this Benn as he was opining half-ignorantly about the recent events concerning the Blairing imperialist escapades somewhere near the shores of Iran. And on a watery location between the waters that do not belong to Britain, whether it is fronted by a Blair or a Benn.
Between the two racist B’s, there is no difference when it concerns the resources of other people.
Contrary to the pretentious parades of propaganda phrases that the Benn-Benn has been indulged in during his racist travels across parts of Asia and Africa, he is a patriot in the most ghastly ignorant corrupt sense of that really obsolete word in the English language.
The sense of what is connoted - and meant by propagandists in English - by the word and the term patriot ought to be declared obsolete in all languages of the world.
For if H Benn is seeking to stay on board the Blaring boat of racist adventures whilst hoping to convey to the public the idea that he is not as racist or as dishonest as Blair has been about looting the resources that belong to other people, this Benn most definitely is failing abysmally.
How else could he be laughed at by the audience whenever he tried to make any statement in defence of anyone in the Tony Blair administration?
