"Are you tired of being a burden on hardworking billionaires? Has your quadriplegia made you too lazy to find a job? Have you considered euthanasia to help improve your country? Fulfil your patriotic duty today and remove yourself from the benefits bill forever! If our brave men can throw themselves into trenches, it’s the very least you can do!
That was a sneak preview of Labour’s next party political broadcast by the way."
Barely satire! :o)
FYI Laura - I have been trying to contact you - you know you can get help with Disability benefits for your son? x
“There — it sickens one to have to wade through this grimy sea of opportunism. What a spectacle of shuffling, lies, vacillation and imbecility does this Game Political offer to us? I cannot conclude without an earnest appeal to those Socialists, of whatever section, who may be drawn towards the vortex of Parliamentarism, to think better of it while there is yet time.
“If we ally ourselves to any of the presen[t] parties they will only use us as a cat’s-paw; and on the other hand, if by any chance a Socialist slips through into Parliament, he will do so at the expense of leaving his principles behind him; he will certainly not be returned as a Socialist, but as something else; what else is hard to say. As I have written before in these columns, Parliament is going just the way we would have it go. Our masters are feeling very uncomfortable under the awkward burden of GOVERNMENT, and do not know what to do, since their sole aim is to govern from above. Do not let us help them by taking part in their game. Whatever concessions may be necessary to the progress of the Revolution can be wrung out of them at least as easily by extra-Parliamentary pressure, which can be exercised without losing one particle of those principles which are the treasure and hope of Revolutionary Socialists.” — William Morris, the Commonweal, Volume 1, Number 10, November 1885, p. 93.
I notice The Observer is advising that in attempting to dissuade Trump from ending the Russia-Ukraine war der Stürmer - oops, I mean Starmer - should eschew factual argument and focus on being a grovelling sycophant. It's vitally important he succeeds because leaving any Ukrainians alive would be "giving in to Putin".
"Sir Keir's already so far up t'rump, that he called Starmer, "Nice"."
At least he plays to his strengths. If you're holding a hammer everything looks like a nail. I guess if you're an inveterate arse kisser everything looks like an arse, especially if you're looking at Trump.
"Surely TOGETHER, they'll force Ukraine to surrender to annexation, AND kill all Ukrainians."
The strategy is more ambitious than that.
The idea is that when Putin inevitably conquers all of Europe all he wins is a radioactive wasteland.
Your rapier has been newly whetted! I suppose that's what happens when a hair's breadth separates life and death! Soon, you will be vilified as a disguised Palestinian!
"Just remember to blame Corbyn for Starmer’s failures."
Yes, when you have no one left to blame, go and blame it all on Jeremy Corbyn! Isn't that always the protocol of neoliberals? It can't ever be their fault, and it kills two birds with one stone when you blame your former rival. Cowardly Keir Starmer!
The question is where and when do all these leaders meet up to discuss their next tactic ? They must be in some clandestine globalist group . Zoom meetings ?
But if we helped everyone in need there would be no money for the billionaires 4th or 6th private jets? What kind of extreme cruelty is that!
good point

Good luck with that
I agree its a tedious process but the eligibility is clear and it is not means tested.
Neoliberal Labour Tory Reform - three cheeks of the same monstrous arse.
A salute to Monty Python! I bow in homage!
All ( sarcasm has become the truth) absolutely and frighteningly correct.
Will we ever learn? Not in 140 years!

I think Sir Keir has got this.
Sir Keir's already so far up t'rump, that he called Starmer, "Nice".
Surely TOGETHER, they'll force Ukraine to surrender to annexation, AND kill all Ukrainians.

Ha, ha, ha! It will serve him right!

"Flag-shagging" 😂😂😂
The Labour party started with Keir Hardy and ends with Keir Starmer.. Tragic!
Thought you were headed towards Keir Laurel for a moment.
This is what happens when we become the United Kingdom of Israel.
Jewnited Kingdom
£abour.
The UK's kids and future generations will love and support "under martial law Azov Ukraine" forever, or at least 100 years, its official!

This is disturbing.
Wow thats very interesting. Has there been any press on this in the UK?
Sarcasm has become our reality.
Well said.
