Cardiff Hustings. My take on the Hustings. of interest is the Clinton Thumb move by Smith one of the few repeated no-nos we heard was to avoid pointing. It can look aggressive, unwelcoming and off-putting to many in the crowd. "Audiences hate it," Van Edwards says. It's enough of a problem, in fact, that some politicians have created substitute gestures to avoid it (see the "Clinton thumb" below). For most people, it's better to find a descriptive or more open gesture to emphasize a key issue.

In existentialism, authenticity is the degree to which one is true to one's own personality, spirit, or character, despite external pressures; the conscious self is seen as coming to terms with being in a material world and with encountering external forces, pressures, and influences which are very different from, and other than, itself. A lack of authenticity is considered in existentialism to be bad faith.[2]

With Smith I just cant believe its not blather.

Adam Curtis´s Centruty of Self and the FIlm Idiocracy are referenced as are adverts for I can't believe its not butter and the Family Guy. The Unbellievabot Toaster just nails the cookie cutter spin of Owen Smith for me.
