No matter how relentlessly 'The Shekels' Starmer works to represent Britain as a racist religitard scumbag supremacist genocide war crime land thief child murderer famine supporting embarrassment to every notion of humanity, he forgets: it is the people who make a country Great. Scummy self-serving governments will only ever be scummy, self serving, and bringers of derision and shame.

You may recall the threats of a military coup, in the unlikely event that Corbyn were to get too close to No. 10.

The Greens will get the message. Talk all you want about the environment, immigration, and pronouns, pronouns, pronouns, but do NOT touch Israel or The War On Russia.

The Greens were similarly neutered in germany.

This is why the establishment keep on winning. When faced with a setback, an electoral result that they don't like for instance, they do not throw their hands up in the air and say "well, I guess you guys just won, fair and square!".

Instead, they seamlessly shift to Plan B, they paint the opposition as weak or in thrall to shadowy foreign interests, mutter about dark money somewhere, chase conspiracy theories, sidle up to the new government and cut deals whilst undermining their ability to get anything done, call on the Americans, etc..

Wow - I would just love to be a fly on the wall at the next Labour Friends of Shitrael meeting. Perhaps they will just console themselves with noting that the winning party are lead by a chap who just happens to be Jewish.

Oy vey!

Can't we just proscribe the Greens as an antisemitic antifa t3rrorist group and put things back to normal?

Poor old BBC this morning. Didn't know how to pitch it. Just came over as sour…

The Today programme were promoting the Farage trumpian line that the election was rigged. They were featuring the self proclaimed “independent” election observers “Democracy Volunteers” reports of high amounts of whole family voting. When I dug into this, the reported samples were tiny, and over very short periods, and from their reported methodology, were taken by two teams of two observers. As in other reports, the BBC claimed these observers were “official”.

I would have expected better of the BBC than promoting this poorly evidenced Faragist conspiracy drivel.

Now, an honest question, how do the Greens stand on the War On Russia?

The election manifesto appears silent, which may or may not be a good thing.

2024 manifesto expresses "supporting Ukraine" in resisting the Russian invasion.

Also condemns Hamas for "appalling murder of Israeli civilians".

Both these stances would have been clearly questionable by this time following the complete debunking of the Israeli narrative for Oct 7, as well as the well-documented provocations of the West that caused the Russian Special Military Operation.

Thanks. About what I expected.

And I got happy for a minute there…😕

So the will of the Establishment still has its iron grip.

Feral Finster's avatar

Of course. Even if, by some miracle the Greens were to walk into No.10 today, they would be quickly brought to heel.

What a complete and utter, out of touch nob Starmer is. He definitely should've let Andy Burnham run for the Denton and Gorton by election. But as usual, he made a completely wrong judgement call. When are the labour party going to wake up and accept that Starmer, is a complete and utter liability to the labour party.

"Hannah’s fiendish strategy involved standing for a party that has actual policies and a leader who cares about ordinary people. Disturbingly, Hannah comes across as a normal human" - the facts are hilarious 😁

A Goodwin staffer in Tameside, Adam Mitula's posts online are full of racist caricatures of blacks and Muslims featuring fearmongering and appeals to family values. Other posts include his suggestion that “60-70%” of transgender people were paedophiles, that he would “never touch a Jewish woman”, and use of the n-word. Nevertheless he is accepted as a reasonable choice for tomorrow's Britain.
