Michael Gove has announced the creation of a special think-tank that will look into ways of keeping undesirable types out of politics. For good.
"Disgrace, you're a disgrace!"
These are the words that Gove directed towards Tory backbenchers following their refusal to vote in favour of killing some people in Syria that Gove was rather hoping to send to an early grave.
Presumably, they were the first to go into Gove's little black book.
Gove will report his findings to his fellow members of The Henry Jackson Society, a right-wing, warmongering collection of homoerotic willy-wavers and establishment weirdos. Quite what attracted the war-pushing Thatcher-Blair-neocon-loving Gove to seeking such company is unclear. The war-loving classes (mainly privileged white males with an inflated sense of entitlement) keep strange bedfellows, indeed. It is to such people that Gove seeks us all to be at the mercy of.
Sticking to the war theme, Gove has also spoken out against what he sees as the distorted way in which the history of the first and second world wars are both formally taught and represented in general culture. Of course, being an ex-Murdoch minion, Gove knows a thing or two about mendacity.

| Just Another War Porn Addict |
In short, we are expected, in modern Britain, to take seriously the thoughts and words of a man who previously used to make a living working for probably the foulest media presence on the planet, who has since moved on to aggressively push a dismal form of politics that advocates jingoism, elitism and endless war, under the banner of "western morality". And while Gove may fabricate a veneer of intellectual pursuit, his ideas and career-path are that of just another crawler-to-power and war-porn addict, the like of which fill Murdoch's newsrooms and infest the minds of the imperialism-starved elites, to whom Gove has so egregiously crawled.
Thinking of going into politics but don't like the idea of bombing people? Not if Gove has anything to do with it.
