Liberals ushering in fascism. Again.
"Martin Forde KC, the senior lawyer commissioned by Starmer to investigate the Labour party’s culture, said legal professionals from across the political spectrum had expressed their bewilderment that the Labour leader had not said anything after such personal attacks, even after former Conservative law officers criticised the political rhetoric aimed at “lefty lawyers” on Friday.
"Jacqueline McKenzie has received a torrent of abuse since CCHQ circulated a dossier last week. She told the Guardian people had threatened to drown her “like an asylum seeker” and leave corpses at her property.
"The dossier prompted Nick Vineall KC, the chair of the Bar Council, and Lubna Shuja, the president of the Law Society, to make a rare joint statement condemning the Tories’ behaviour in sending out the document titled “Revealed: senior Labour adviser is lefty lawyer blocking Rwanda deportations”."
I think we are well past the point that any socialist policies will ever pass. Our democracy has been completely captured by corporations and elite interests. I'd rather the population hates the government than to mistakenly think we can get any kind of meaningful concessions from a Starmer-led labour government. Frankly I think the whole thing needs to be torn down to the foundations.
Voting is how things pass
You can combine that with other action if you are motivated - protesting, writing to your representatives, campaigning for whoever is closest to your views and so on…
yes the game is rigged.. the media is (mostly) bought and paid for, the impact of social media manipulation is awful…. But ultimately - not voting does nothing to help, worse than that.. not voting actively helps those people stay in power who stack the deck.
Voter apathy.. “they are all as bad as each other” is a ploy to stop us holding those in power to account.
Look at the instance he's here from. No point in arguing with them, they're far gone off the deep end.
Kier will more than likely win the next election. We should reconvene in 5 years and decide how well the voting has gone for the average person. I'm confident that things will not have improved.
I used to believe all of that too.
And I believe comrade, that this country will not vote in a communist government. They'd sooner elect a right-wing fascist. Unless you're within the inner circle of those who manage to overthrow the government in an armed revolution, as a free thinking intellectual you'd likely be shot against a wall.
