Zern Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Starmer's speech interrupted: "we did that last time" "we've done that one" Classy. Humza does it better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 With any luck, Starker will change his mind on opposing another Indyref too. Why not? He seems to change his view on just about everything else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarHibee Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 It's not Labour's policy to oppose Conservative policy. But it won't stop an island of idiots from voting for them anyway. Then wondering 4-5 years down the line why things have only continued to go in the same direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just waiting for reintroduction of the Poor Laws and establishment of Workhouses. We've been slowly inching towards that future for a long time. The 'success' of Brexit Britain is dependant on using an underclass of desperate labour compelled to work for their basic needs. See the film Sorry to Bother You for a tongue-in-cheek vision of how I've been expecting the new workhouses to operate since David Cameron was prevented from having people forced to staff Poundland in exchange for benefit money, and basic rent costs skyrocketed. Plus, it's a really good film anyway.

He know's his ideology and hasn't held back. Maybe the idea will be to force the b*****ds to actually spend the necessary money to repair and upgrade the water network that they inherited, as they should have been for all these years, without offsetting the cost to the public. Then get everything back for free when they all declare bankruptcy in a blind panic. Nah, it'll be a commitment to prevent water companies charging too much for emergency supplies from tankers. For a few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zern Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I can name a dozen things Starmer is against, and almost nothing he is in favour of. Policy is a bit thin on the ground. What is weird, from the outside, is watching a Labour leader stick a middle finger up to every policy endorsed by the Labour membership. The same membership he gulled into voting for him on the basis of those pledges that he then abandoned. I don't think it will be quite the vote winner he thinks it will be. I hate tories. Thoroughly sick of them. But pseudo-suckup-tories somehow manage to be even worse. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRR Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Sir Peter Butterworth apparently won't say whether he agrees with expanding London's low emissions zone. He's making a principled stand against annoying either the environmental lobby or the motoring lobby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like tough time ahead for the SNP. Although noticeable that the independent who got about 18% of the vote last time didn't stand this time. I don't take much stock from council elections but it does seem worth investigating what the thoughts were locally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It baffles my why anyone in Scotland votes for these losers. I wonder why too. Watching Starmer shit on everything that Labour used to represent, in addition to embracing Brexit and British Nationalism is a most repellent combination. They don't have policies for Scotland; they don't have a coherent environmental policy either. Its just empty gestures and tweaking round the edges with no significant change. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much this, as the Conservative party moves ever rightwards towards US Libertarian policies Starmer's iteration of the Labour Party seems closer to the Conservative "Wets" than old or even New Labour. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
