utter dickhead

Keir has been so much worse than I could've imagined. Next time, someone stop me from voting labour.

    I really didn't expect much, if anything, they barely tried to slaughter a self destructing Tory party. Were never going to bother doing anything for the people...

    Now that the UK is deindustrialised and not subject to EU regulation, American capital can freely devour its corpse.

    The political instincts on display here.

    Do they just not know that everyone who's not an investment banker hates Blackrock, or do they just not care? Rhetorical question.

      To be fair, your average person probably doesn't know that much about BlackRock. Nor will your average person even clock this headline much when there's the more salacious headline of Netanyahu's arrest, or winter fuel, or the farmers. That's the political instinct. Make the dodgy deal while everyone's focused on your current fuck up.

      People clued in enough to focus on this headline probably already hate Starmer's Labour anyway.

      Maybe I'm way off on that, though.

        No one knows BlackRock, but if it's your first example of an average company, we know your politics

    I tried!

    I don't blame anyone for voting Labour, especially considering the lack of alternatives, but Starmer's whole pitch since he became leader has been "Don't worry, I am incredibly right wing, and I solemnly swear to the British People that I will be the biggest removed imaginable in every way"

    I like Corbyn, but godamn he's genuinely too nice of a guy to be able to survive in bourgeois politics. When Corbyn had all the momentum he should've purged this fucker and all his fellow Blairites. Once this fucker took power, he purged Corbyn and a ton of Left Labour.

    Y'know, I'm not often moved to believing we should bring back crucifixion as an execution tactic.

    But goddamn do politicians belong on crosses.
