No, this isn't about censorship, is about trying to make democracy work against an onslaught from billionaire sociopaths.<br /><br />Here's an easy one for Kier - call out some of the Tory press covid denialists in public. Ask why Boris & co. have said nothing while various hacks have lied and manipulated details about the pandemic resulting in thousands of needless deaths. You're a fucking lawyer, amass a base of facts then make a speech ripping into these characters.<br /><br />Nah, he'll probably just rattle on about the need to appeal to Edna from Sunderland who wants all the forrins gone because the Daily Express told her they were BAD.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-75816762813292040232021-02-19T15:29:01.415+00:002021-02-19T15:29:01.415+00:00Give the job to that famed cognizant of British He...Give the job to that famed cognizant of British Heritage and non-sir the Rt Hon David Lammy PC FRSA MP, the perfect elucidation of todays diverse and new " New Labour" party.

It’s insincere enough when fatbollocks minions trumpet it at every opportunity, but to think that some PR wallah has trumped up a bucket load of cash for rehashing the exact same pile of dog poo was for me beyond belief.

Mostly without talent and charisma. Mostly career politicians and a lot of fabricators who cried crocodile tears to attack Corbyn. The Party seems f***ed and if it seems that way it probably is for some time. It can regroup, eventually. But not for some time. So, why Burnham? Authenticity has to be combined with a record of taking on Government in working class areas up North - and Burnham has that profile and experience. Starmer has an image of fakery about him and he has killed off Labour's energy and enthusiasm seen under Corbyn most clearly. He turned on Rebecca Long Bailey and then on members. He appointed a most disconnected and useless General Secretary, and has only really survived because Covid has menat no live Party Conferences. Yet. He is finished and was within six months. A hollow man with a small mind and pink cheeks. <br />Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03820800132294446009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-45625914641482632682021-02-19T12:28:19.166+00:002021-02-19T12:28:19.166+00:00Starmer has the most dishonest face and voice in p...Starmer has the most dishonest face and voice in politics. Eyes like a shithouse rat. With the Butcher's Apron as backcloth, took five "questions" from, wait for it, the BBC, Sky, ITV, <i>the Graun</i> and <i>the torygraph.</i> Structured access on heroin. Christ.<br /><br />The fellow's an utter fraud and red tory hypocrite. Now he's not even bothering to hide it.<br /><br />Rayner and Burnham?....Pfffttt....Starmer Lite. Not worth a carrot.<br /><br />Britain is now a <i>de facto</i> one party capitalist state with two factions. It is not, never has been, and at the current rate never will be, a democracy.

The futility of bringing back Peter Mandelson to draft a New Labour ‘relaunch’ as if we are back in the eighties , before the utter discrediting of the neo-Liberal system by the ‘credit crunch’ of 2008 . I voted for Blair in 1997 but never again for Labour until finally Jeremy Corbyn was elected Leader . Subsequently he was definitively denied election by the ‘New Labour’ traitors in 2017 and his campaign ‘scotched’ by the ‘New Labour’ ‘Peoples’ Vote’ position of 2019 .<br />After the Labour vote declining in every ‘New Labour’ election from 1997 until the revival in 2017 , why I’m astonished is the unreflective crass stupidity of the ‘New Labour’ cohort , who appear unable to view the evidence before their eyes . Their philosophy is wrong (in my view as it has always been) and ‘trickle down’ didn’t work in the ‘nobless oblige’ Middle Ages and manifestly isn’t working now . For the first time in my life I’m believing it’s really not worth voting . The ‘New Labour’ crowd are worse than the Tories because they’re occupying the space which should be being used to campaign for radically different policies , <br />DerekDerekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114299420475055526noreply@blogger.com
