It is not that often you come across true idiocy, maybe we encounter those who are a bit thick quite often, but idiocy like the above is a true rarity. Aside from the absolutely awful graphic design work, there are a few of things wrong with this:
- “North East England Against Labour”, ok, I am not a fan of the Labour Party myself, but this is not a Labour Party event. True that there are often high ranking Labour Party members in attendance, but it is a NATIONAL UNION OF MINEWORKERS/DURHAM MINERS’ ASSOCIATION event. The Durham Miners’ Gala (Big Meet) has ALWAYS been about our communities, not the Labour Party.
- “Welcome to County Durham President Trump”. So where do I start with this one? First off, “welcome to County Durham…”??? Trump is going nowhere near County Durham! So you can welcome him all you want, he is not going to be there (thankfully)!
- The comment by Lillian Lowery leaves much to be desired. “Never thought I would see this day”, sorry to tell you but you are not seeing anything beyond some shit page, using shit graphic design, promoting a non-event. You are not seeing anything because this is not a component of the Gala, so it is not as if it has been sanctioned due to a change of heart by the NUM/DMA. NOTHING IS CHANGING! It is not as if the Big Meet was established by socialists, and organised by socialists ever since. It is not as if the NUM/DMA are not socialist organisations or anything. The entire membership may not have personally been socialists, but a good chunk of the membership and the organisations themselves always have been!
Give your heads a collective wobble you bunch of roasters!
