Granny Danger Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 This whole self-identifying thing has taken a twist, apparently Keef is identifying as a socialist! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Steele Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Great stuff, he's going to do my national service stint. Country first, party second unless it involves working with the Jockos, of course. Vote for them at your peril. Duplicitous snake oil charlatan who is at least as bad as Sunak, probably worse. Sir Keir Starmer has promised voters he will "fight for you" and put "country first, party second". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 If Starmer claims to be a "socialist" that's the home counties gammonati hoards back off to the Tories/Reform shower. He'll get nowhere in "middle England" with that sort of horse-scaring rhetoric. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crùbag Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Starmer! Like Anas Sarwar who thinks he's a socialist now that he's not got any shares in his family firm. He put them into a trust for his kids. So, his kids become millionaires off the backs of the workers his family employed on a pittance wage. How RED! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does head office send out a script and say "put this in your own words", only to discover their MPs' staff are too lazy to change anything? Or is it genuinely a "tweet this as is; no changes" exercise, because it just makes them all look like they've no beliefs or opinions of their own and have a hand stuffed up their arse. Or is the assumption that, for every person who sees that they're all forwarding the same copypasta, there'll be a thousand who don't and think it's a genuinely-held personal position? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticeable that Labour Friends of Israel are also sharing these tweets as well as putting out their own statement which is pretty much an extended version of the tweet.

The issue seems to be that LFI are suggesting a “more limited approach to surgically target Hamas leadership and forces” which is exactly what Israel was trying to do less than 48 hours ago when it ended up bombing a refugee camp and killing dozens of civilians. They killed the two Hamas leaders that they were targeting but also over 40 innocent people lost their lives. It’s not possible to “target Hamas” when the Hamas operatives are mingling amongst civilians in the so called safe zones. A ceasefire should have been called months ago with the Israeli hostages being returned home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just that, in this instance, the whole world was telling them not to go anywhere near Rafah, they did and killed loads of innocent civilians. They've been doing this for months without condemnation from USA. Edited May 28 by sparky88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O_Kahn Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 A remarkable amount of people going into bat for Abbott. I don't understand it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's been elected for 9 successive general elections since 1987 so she's popular with her constituents. The Labour investigation into her was completed last December but sat on until now to ensure she couldn't run as an independent. It's that antidemocratic and underhanded behaviour by Labour which folk are probably annoyed about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chripper Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Well, in 1999 their point was to steal Scotland's water and subsequently, Scotland's fields. Anyone who votes Labour (or a party who isn't SNP or ALBA) is no friend to Scotland and they are traitors. No other word for it. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
