Yes, once more, it’s time for the bovver boys and girls of The Guardian to earn both their salaries and the favour of the Soros’s Heroic International Troop of Experts (SHITE).
And what better way for these non-thinking muppets to achieve both goals than to take potshots at Soros’s favourite hate-figure?
You don’t need to be told who that person is, do you? The irrepressible fly in Soros’s soup? That’s right, a hero to all Hungarians, Viktor Orbán.
So, what’s got up the nose of The Guardian’s ‘blind to reality’ reporter, this time?
Well, it’s the same as usual, to be honest. It’s the usual character assassination of Orbán that we’ve come to expect. The thing that continues to baffle me, however, is that none of the people writing this shite ever stop to think about the underlying facts of the situation.
Insult the Prime Minister all you fancy, I’m quite sure that after 30-odd years in the world of politics, his skin is as thick as it needs to be. That’s not the point.
The point is that you are insulting millions of Hungarians who voted for this man and his party.
The Guardian’s man in Budapest, presumably a man who rarely, if ever leaves his liberal bubble, seems to think nothing of looking down on and insulting the very people who have been gracious enough to tolerate his presence in their country.
I must admit that this isn’t the first time I’ve come across behaviour like this. In the mid-nineties, I lived and worked in South America, where the ex-pats liked to giggle behind their hands and signal to each other with their thumb and little finger tucked away. What this meant, of course, was 3rd. As in third-world country. Oh, how they chortled. They knew that it was both extremely offensive and insulting, but these were the sort of people who travelled half-way around the world and then exclusively sought out the company of the British, a peculiar, somewhat colonial habit.
We’ve all seen it, we’ve all experienced it. We know that your country is the greatest thing since sliced bread, the only question is this: if this is what you truly believe, then why are you here? Surely life is too short for you to waste years, or even months or weeks of your life in a place you so obviously find lamentable.
Anyway, leaving the reporters to their liberal bubbles where they can congratulate themselves on being big fish in small ponds, let’s have a gander at the article.
And straight out of the blocks we’re already being ramped up to full speed. Yes, we learn that Orbán is, once more, attacking his favourite scapegoat, Soros. Well, is Soros a scapegoat? Presumably the reporter didn’t check the dictionary definition of scapegoat. My dictionary states that it’s “a person or thing blamed or punished for a mistake, fault, etc., of another or others”
Well, that’s not the case here, is it? Soros is being blamed for nothing other than that what he has done. This has nothing to do with us blaming Soros for that which others did, this has everything to do with us blaming Soros for what he did. Scapegoat, my arse.
Once again, the whole article is about the ongoing debate between the EU, Hungary, and Poland about the ‘blank page to be signed’ woolly rule of law mechanism that the liberals see as the only way to get illegal migrants in to ruin our country in the same way that they’ve arguably ruined their own. Yes, yes, it’s true. We can see what’s going on in Western Europe, and we want no part of it. If the West want to open their doors to masses of illegal ‘brain surgeons’, ‘engineers’, and ‘economic geniuses’ that are presently being invited to flood the continent, then be our guest. Leave us out of it, we’re fine as we are, thank you very much.
“Orbán has consistently claimed that European critics are punishing Hungary because of its anti-migrant stance, rather than for well-documented concerns over corruption and rule-of-law”
Jesus, will the flood of lies never end? “Well-documented concerns over corruption” what, like the money that was stolen from the EU when Budapest’s Metro 4 was built? Yes, that was certainly well-documented, but, you brainless toad, that was the SZDSZ and the socialists! Not only will Orbán’s government have to repay the money that the liberal Left stole from the EU, but it was Orbán’s government that finished the construction of the metro line!
Anyone who has lived in Hungary in the last decade or so can see the changes that refute the tired, old lie that Orbán has overseen the creation of a kleptocracy. The evidence is there for all to see. Look at Budapest, look at the countryside. If all the claims of kleptocracy were true there would be no evidence of development. But there is. The list is almost endless, far too long to even think of putting down on paper. Take a walk, and see for yourself.
The journalist states: ‘“Europe must not succumb to the Soros network,” wrote Orbán recently’. But why did Orbán write this? What was the spark that provoked him to speak ill of a nasty old fool? What was it? Well, that’s simple enough and easy enough to ascertain. Orbán was responding to an attack from Soros, dolt!
The rest of the article consists of the same old, hoary chestnuts. That Soros survived the Holocaust by hiding. No he didn’t, he survived the Holocaust by assisting his ‘godfather’, confiscating property from Jews. And he didn’t think too badly of it, either.
We could spend all day, every day going through this, but it’s not worth it. The Guardian has an axe to grind when it comes to Hungary with a conservative government.
Oh, and as a last example of accuracy in modern-day journalism the reporter even gets his facts wrong. He states that Orbán claimed that the EU want to accept 35 million migrants. No he didn’t. Listen to the radio with both ears next time. He said 34, not 35.
A small point perhaps, but a telling one.
