EU Referendum


Thank you


28/03/2015



As we remarked earlier, the press we used to part with money for is now not worth a dime, and readers of this blog know you can get better elsewhere for free. That said, most people do not want better. What most people want is shallow and crass commentary which affirms their existing prejudices. That is why Breitbart exists. When it comes to the real issues, most of the right don't want to know.

Half the problem is that anything which complicates a narrative, anything that challenges a long held belief system is something of a threat - and the response is to attack it out of ignorance. It's becoming increasingly difficult to find people who want to step into the world of adult politics.

The absence of demand for any real analysis on most pressing issues from Child Sexual Exploitation, immigration and the EU leaves us out on our own struggling to be heard. This is not surprising. It's not easy stuff, it's not as easily digestible as hackneyed libertarian tract, its dry, it's uninspiring and it's not something you can dip in and out of and expect to stay informed.

More to the point, it's deadly boring in some cases and it can't be dumbed down. It's made worse by the fact that the more you learn the less you know, and the more of your settled narratives you have to throw into the bin.

Some readers have remarked that that we're talking to a very small niche of a very small niche in terms of Brexit. We are acutely aware of this. But this it's something that has to be done right or not at all. Eventually we will be in a position to take the finished Flexcit project and break it down so it can be better communicated, but until then there are only so many hours in the day.

So for the time being all we can do is thank our readers for meeting us half way in attempting to understand it. We have always viewed blogging as a two way process whereby readers have to invest to gain any return - and invested you have, which is to our credit. That said, an investment of another sort wouldn't go amiss. You know where the donate button is.
