Just over 9 million out of 48 million registered voted for Labour, they barely have a mandate to govern.

You can thank Blair for the the loss of your cities, for the Manchester and so many other bombings, for all the car attacks and beheadings, the hundreds of thousands of Native women and girls raped by Muslim gangs, now the loss of your liberties, and tomorrow of your homeland, lives and freedom. That is what "rubbing the noses" of the British in diversity has meant. No leader in modern times ever sabotaged his own people more thoroughly.

The Red Tories now in power are just as bad if not worse than Rishi's comedy act.

I don't know if any of you have tuned in to any of the recent PMQ's? All Starmer does is blame the Tories for the last 14 years but appears to have no clue in how to shake things up, apart from rob the UK's pensioners.

It's grim and no mistake. :blue:

Most of us are in our 70’s or more and people think what do these old idiots know. But we were growing up in the 50’s and 60’s. This was the generation of “angry young men”. A lot of the anger back in the 60’s was dissatisfaction with the way things were changing or not changing depending on your PoV. Much of that anger was misplaced but it was genuine as it is now and for Starmer not to recognise how much anger there is (or if he does) just to attribute it all to Tory misrule is a rank misjudgement on his part. Things are boiling under the surface like the volcanic chamber under Yellowstone.

However this time your government took care to disarm you and surround you with the most intensive System of domestic surveillance in the world while passing laws restricting your freedoms to speak and protest. Mark my words. When your Civil War kicks off, your government will side with your foreign conquerors over your people.

Oh $hit..!

Israeli soldiers killed an American woman protesting against settlements in the West Bank on Friday, two protesters who witnessed the shooting told The Associated Press. Two doctors said she was shot in the head.

The U.S. government confirmed the death of 26-year-old Aysenur Ezgi Eygi but did not say whether she had been shot by Israeli troops. The White House said in a statement that it was “deeply disturbed” by the killing of a U.S. citizen and called on Israel to investigate what happened.

Starmer actually came out and supported this strategy. “By December, Palestinians in Gaza made up 80% of the people in the world experiencing famine or catastrophic hunger,” UN spokesman Fakhri said. “Never in post-war history had a population been made to go hungry so quickly and so completely as was the case for the 2.3 million Palestinians living in Gaza.” B@stards.

How on earth are we allowing this $hit to happen...

It seems fairly obvious the intensification of the Israeli offensive in Gaza and the West Bank, coupled with the silence of Western powers and the UN in particular has set a dangerous precedent that will in the future justify the use of military force instead of diplomatic dialogue in any sort of global conflict. The days of Corbyn desired international diplomacy are dead.
