Westminster Politics

Usually I say "The US is fecked", but let's not forget that the UK is fecked too. This ELECTED MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT really thought that the UN went ahead and not only had a meeting where they decided to plan "the end of the family unit" (and all the other crazy and cringe shit), but then they went ahead and put it on a nice formal document.

Starmer must condemn and sack Mandelson or Labour will remain a unsafe and racist party.
Asked by Sir Anthony what more Sir Keir would have to do “to prove to you that he isn’t Jeremy Corbyn and that he’s really got on top of this disease of anti-Semitism”, Mr Johnson replied: “Winston Churchill, Harold Wilson, Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair were all very obviously philo-Semitic people who were strong defenders of Israel.

“Has Keir Starmer done that?”

The bit before for context. Also, isn't Lord Mandelson Jewish?
 
Adds nothing to the discussion

Are you trying to say anti semitism in the Labour Party and supporting Israel is link!?

Once again labour voters are playing into dangerous conspiracy theories. Starmer has clearly not dealt with the problems within the party. Very dangerous times.

Btw this is a bit. But still funny to see the sudden need for context when it’s labour right wingers facing claims of anti semitism.

Labour have a massive lead so as random individuals on a football forum the impact is meaningless. And both Labour and Tory agree on economic policy(More austerity)so it doesn’t really matter anyway.

Voting in the next election isn’t important. Personally I’m not going walk to a voting booth in the pissing rain so guardian readers can feel happy about cutting disability benefits.

No offence but when Owen Jones who was hardly a Starmer friendly columnist before the Israei invasion of Gaza (and obviously even more vociferous since then) is a lead Guardian columnist I am not sure how this dig sticks. If anything it is the opposite. This is like saying when Corbyn was leader his support were wildly out of touch because they were a bunch of downwardly mobile rich kids pretending to be working class but have never worked a "real job" in their life.

The irony of people claiming there is a hidden secret society agenda to dismantle society like this is if it were true the people doing it aren't doing a very good job if every nutjob 5g conspiracy theorist can get their hands on it.

Tbh I stopped reading after the first line. Still I'm happy for you. Or sorry that happened.

He is not trying to say anything. It's literally a text you can read by yourself and draw your own conclusion.

No I didn't say that, and quite frankly I'm pissed off at what you're accusing me of.

I'm glad you find the whole thing so fecking hilarious.
 
I mean, if you wait around for people who align to your ideals or who "represent you" (what a vague term) then you'll be waiting a long time.

Like, what politician would you say represents the opposite of you?

Because for me, it's the Tories, they're the ones who I disagree with the most and whom I despise.

So my representation is who ever can get this virus out of parliament.

I don't agree with Labour on a lot but they have the best shot. I can't take and the county can't take another five years of this cancer.

Anyone that hates the Tories, and will abstain or protest vote against Labour at the election, is every single bit as bad as the ‘hold your nose Tories’ who vote blue regardless of Party policy or direction.

They can wang on about the whys and wherefores, but ultimately, they’re children living in a fantasy world. An opportunity is there to decimate the Tories. To beat them so badly that they won’t be back for 15 years. To pass that up, because you can’t get all the toys you want, immediately… babies.

I guess my bad if it wasn’t clear but I wasn’t actually accusing you of anything. I was acting like how many right wingers/centrist did during the Corbyn years(Which was saying anyone who wanted to add context was denying anti semitism)in order to show how stupid those years were.

I'm glad you find the whole thing so fecking hilarious.
Starmer and Mandelson in the name of fighting anti semitism(Although it was of course just a factional power play)wanted to kick out a left wing MP for tweeting a correct article which said American police get Israeli training. It’s now funny seeing Starmer and Mandelson getting accused of bullshit anti semitism charges.

Similarly James O Brian who called Corbyn a Holocaust denier is now getting called anti semitic because he talked about islamophobia. Watching these right wingers/centrist reap what they sow is bitter but funny.

I hate the Tories but I'm not necessarily voting Labour. Although they've been a shambles lately, I have the SNP as an option, after that I like the Greens.
I voted Labour for the first time in a while under Corbyn. Up until a couple of years ago, I probably would have voted Labour but Starmer has moved the party closer and closer to the Tories that I genuinely don't see much difference. One party will cut services and let the well off pay less tax as a proporion of their income whilst telling me I deserve it, and the other will still do it whilst wringing their hands.

This isn't a great take, there's almost a 0% chance that the Conservatives don't get badly beat in the upcoming election. Hell they're getting tanked in safe seats in by elections.

I would've voted Labour but I and a lot of people I know will go for the Greens, both due to their environmental policies and because of their foreign policy stances. Labour know that centrists won elections, which is true, but they've basically become Conservative light for me. Scrapping all the green pledges, no noticeable housing or business plans outside of sound bites, being aligned with the conservatives on foreign policy r.e. things like Gaza.. there's not really much to like there. Voting for them just because they're not the Conservatives doesn't mean anything, policies do.

Will Labour leave the country in a better state than the Conservatives? Of course, they always do. But I've seen nothing from Starmer or the likes of Reeves to suggest they'll come anywhere near close to implementing the things that will really help the country.. and ultimately that's what we need. There's so many things in this country that needs fixing and it isn't super hard to do so, I could go on and on about it, but everytime I read about Labour policies I'm left feeling distinctly underwhelmed.

The two parties are further apart now than at any point in the last 30 years. There are light years between them. Yes Labour have moved right to win. I don’t like it. But I’m a realist. People don’t seem to realise that they Tories are full on Fascist.

Fully support you and anyone voting for any electable Green/SNP/LibDem MP in your constituency. I can even understand a Green vote in a truly bombproof Labour stronghold. But anyone not voting Labour in a Labour-Tory seat, or abstains, shouldn’t be allowed to talk politics again. Every single one of them needs to go. If any of the right wing grifter set retain seats by small margins, it’s on those people. They will be the ones that embolden the hard right. If they’re not purged, they’ll remain a loud voice. It’s beyond countenance to stay home or vote Green in those seats.

So you're saying this is a great opportunity to replace a genocidal government with another genocidal government. And if I don't do what you say I've brought it on myself?

Right, gotcha, silly me and my fantasy world where while I type that out another fantasy baby dies an avoidable death through starvation, or shooting, or bombing. Woe me, with my why's and wherefores. :rolleyes:

Are you ok? Why the hell are you inserting genocide into the equation? You know you don’t get to claim the moral high ground by reaching for some shocking words?

My girlfriend is ethnically Jewish. Her grandfather survived a camp. Her mother has both a Syrian and Iranian refugee living in her house. We’ve marched through London in all but one of the rallies so far. I watch all of them juggle their ethnic identity and genuine fear, with an absolute disgust for Netanyahu and everything attached.

Life is not simple and shouting Genocide at the top of your lungs makes you an oaf.

So yes, stay home. Turn on the news every day and hope that some Unicorn government comes along that gives you everything you want. Then strap a saddle on it, and ride it all on your own as half of this demented country won’t vote for it because a newspaper will call it gay while another 20 point out it’s an immigrant.

Honestly, I wish I could round you all up, move you to one large town and let you all live there together under a Tory MP. The rest of us can at least attempt to have slightly nicer things for a decade while you wait for your white, sexy, horny, horse.
