We have Brexit. We now have Trump. We have politics in Europe shifting to the far right. This is the time for liberals, socialists, progressives of any persuasion to start working as hard as possible against the dangerous trends of the moment.. 2016 will be remembered as the year of lies, when politicians came out with any rubbish they liked to impress the voters. And sadly, tragically it succeeded.. The truth does not work anymore. It is obsolescent. Already Teresa May has gone back on nearly everything she promised only a few weeks ago. In the future people will not believe a word a politician says and then where do we go from there? What is the alternative when we have reached the absolute rock bottom of veracity, dignity and purpose?
