Starmer taking the piss now.

Re: Starmer taking the piss now.

Just read the following comment BTL of today's Marina Hyde piece in the G. I was going to write something myself but this is perfect imo. It's by someone called redche66:

Is anyone really surprised? Really surprised? Starmer was terrible as opposition leader. Frankly , he didn't oppose. Voted with the government or abstained. Have we forgotten? He made it quite clear who he was with his actions. Lied, backtracked, u-turned. Purged the party of any dissent as did Johnson. Left the party with nothing but sycophants, as did Johnson. As for this mythical popularity with the voters. Did no-one read BTL before the election? The most common term was "I'll hold my nose and vote Labour to get rid of the Tories". The lowest GE turnout in history, almost half didn't vote. Labour got a massive majority on the votes of 1 in 5 of the eligible electorate. There was no honeymoon because it was a shotgun wedding. Things ain't gonna get better. Not for us anyway. I'm sure the likes of Starmer, Streeting, Reeves, McSweeney, Lammy and the rest will do just fine, thank you very much. People were pissed, are pissed and will continue to be.

Here's the actual article:

Keir Starmer is an unforced error machine – have they tried turning him off and on again?

https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...pital#comments

The comments section is interesting, and it's quite obvious that those commenting get all of their opinions from the BBC and the Guardian.

Any sign of that aircraft carrier precluding WW3 ?

Re: Starmer taking the piss now.

Starmer is just one piece of grotesque shit. He should be ashamed to associate himself with the Labour Party. He's worse than that self serving weasel Tony B Liar!

A well balanced judgement in my opinion.

Re: Starmer taking the piss now.

It really is rich for The Guardian to be moaning about Starmer now having relentlessly attacked the man offering real change.
I did warn about Starmer on here a number of months ago. He is a nasty, spiteful little man. He joined McSweeney's Labour Together after the 2017 GE which was set up to lie and smear Corbyn. They wanted him to lose both in 2017 and 2019 GE's. They enabled Johnson's victory in 2019.

Labour is now run by right wing zionists. Starmer has not shown an ounce of compassion for the massacre of Palestinians. He would rather a right wing bigot like Natalie Elphicke than a socialist. Reeves is even worse. Truly psychotic....and as for that snake Streeting you only have to see some of his old social media stuff to know how unfit he is to be in front line politics.

Labour performed disastrously in the GE actually polling 600,000 votes less than the catastrophe in 2019. They got away with it because Tory voters stayed at home and the right wing vote was hopelessly split between Con and Reform. They won't be so lucky next time around

Yep, spot on.

I also think there's more going on than just this shift in Labour as well. For the last decade and more, I see the term working class as being used more derogatively. Offering compassion towards others is being replaced more by looking after one's own self. We have a massive economy where those at the bottom are getting continuously worse off, but they don't matter as they're all scroungers and benefit cheats, while those at the top continue to make even more and more money.

I believe there has been a deliberate ploy to make people argue for the resources we get from government, "just look at what someone else is getting". Pensioners argue their tax contributions are now being spent on immigrants, not themselves. The anti-immigration rhetoric is growing under the incorrect perception that they get everything. It's no surprise there's been a rise in fascism.

I reckon in 50 years we'll live in a society that pays little in tax, where those who can't afford it end up sending their kids to woeful state schools not fit for purpose while they have to rely on a charity driven free health service far more overwhelmed than ours is currently. It'll become more survival of the fittest and a removal of people who aren't British. Meanwhile, billionnaires accumulate wealth at even faster rates while homelessness and starving people fight for the few jobs left as automation takes over.

What a time to be alive.

Yet another top post and chillingly true!
