Starmer VIII: Labour will set you free

New thread.

Yes, it's actually now VIII threads, if I've counted correctly.

Paul Calf

* Paul Calf claps slowly and heavily with his palms parallel with the ground and a stern look that telegraphs to the assembled party faithful that THERE WILL BE APPLAUSE.

Kankurette

Like the slogan on the Auschwitz gates?

The thread title is rubbish. What happened to Buelligan's Starmer's Labour; his Hitler hairdo's making me ill and he has crashed our Party? So good that The Dog came up with pretty much the same idea.

Buelligan

pancs has bigger, better and more enthusiastic balls than I (or, it seems, The Dog) and this, at least does not poke fun at Keith, so concerns are being sensitively addressed at this difficult time for us all.

Here's a link to the old thread for all those obsessed with tidiness and control (ME) - https://www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=89763.0

Start both threads and let the market decide which survives. It's what Starmer would have wanted.

In the mean time, whilst we decide, here's a great little film from Aaron Bastani about Mr Tonty Blair, eight interesting minutes -

Shameful smearing of Corbyn by Raab in Parliament today:

QuoteThe justice secretary says it is "nonsense" and says such appointments are made based on a person's contribution to society.

He fires back by referring to former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn who he says wanted to scrap the Trident nuclear programme and "sided" with Putin over the Salisbury poisonings.

The idea that Corbyn sided with Putin over the Salisbury poisonings is totally untrue, and Rayner should have picked him up on this.

Buelligan

Heheh, why would she do that?  That won't butter many pairs of R2D2 tribute shoes by Irregular Choice, now will it?

mattyc

Both the video and article are excellent, thanks for posting them. I find that Aaron Bastani has a combination of clarity and passion that makes him quite compelling to listen to or read.


Buelligan

No, just his hat, died in a plane crash on the way to a Surrey pub gig.  RIP in peace.

Yeah.  It's great.  But it's too late.  We all know that this thing, all of it, not just this thing, was a lie, spun to destroy any hope that Corbyn (or anyone else) could ever change the kamikaze death and consumption politics that now occupy all parties in the UK.

Odd thing is, almost everyone knew it was a lie.  But mostly refused to say so because no one cares (not enough people care) about the terrible shit that's happening to other people.

Paul Calf

I think a lot of people cared but were cowed into submission by those shouting down support for Corbyn's Labour Party as antisemitism.

People lose their jobs for accusations like that, whether justified or not.

Sebastian Cobb

I like how he was slightly too slow on limiting replies:

Buelligan

We live in a world where those that have voices, some nasty little bully like Riley, some turncoat snake like Austin, with a more equal voice than the rest of us, can conspire to create a society where they get to decide, often unelected, who can speak, who can work and who can be destroyed.

And we don't care enough about that, because they haven't come for us yet, to bravely tell them to get fucked.

I know that some of us do, but not enough, not enough yet.

"Ok, we need to make sure we get our message across in the News of the World, teletext and have a strong presence on Friends Reunited".

I never trust people who start off on the left and slowly move to the right, it makes me think that they were only on the left for careerist reasons. I respect people more who were always on the right like Hattersley or John Smith, they seem more honest. A lot of figures currently on the Labour Right (and some Tories) fit the former, and Kinnock is one of them. Moving from calling himself a socialist in 1983 (and his excellent speech about Thatcher, which I think sums up the modern Tories as well: https://speakola.com/political/neil-kinnock-i-warn-you-campaign-1983) to working for Starmer's Labour. Quite a journey. Maybe he'll be on GB News soon.

That 'Only people who think you're amazing can reply' feature in twitter is not going to end well, particularly when used by anyone with power. A good hard ratioing is an educational experience.

It still allows quote-tweets so if anything encourages dunking.

give him a break. Cunts 80 at the end of the month

Maybe labour are going all out on the boomer vote with outreach into the afterlife

mattyc

Haha, Alan Johnson ate the queen's dog biscuits. Hold my sides before they split. Definitely happened. Crazy guy. Ate dog biscuits and wholeheartedly supported the Iraq war. What on earth will he do next? 

idunnosomename

to be honest they were probably higher quality than anything he was supposed to eat

Fambo Number Mive

A dog would have done a better job than Alan Johnson as a minister/shadow minister


Buelligan

Don't tell Ian Austin, whatever you do, don't do that.
