Has there ever been a PM that looked as evil as Blair does? The man looks like he was created by AI based on the description of every villain in literature.

yeah, i’m honestly terrified. I dunno how we get out of this spiral.

yeah. It’s terrifying. We just have to hope that good people stand up or we’re not going to have any safe countries.

What we have to remember is that Frnace,like england and the US had a lot of people more than happy to stand at their front doors and welcome Hitler to their country. ANd that ideology never went away… It just went quiet for a bit. But now, just like in 90% of teh west it’s getting very very loud again.

The right always seem to do well in the first round and then drop off when the field narrows. , Though admitteedly this is probably their best result in decdes.
I’ve a little bit more faith in France than in england, especially as the only non right wing and fash parties will never get to form a government on their own here.

She’s also very hateful of womens rights to choose and supports lots of people that want to take that away.
She also supports people that say things like aids was a good thing cos it kiiled lots of LGBTQ+ people…
SHe’s what you might call an awful, awful person.

Starmer clearly, almost undeniably given the evidence, has exactly the same mindset as Farage and Trump et al, but he doesn’t have the honesty or bravery to come out and admit it…
Yes that’s right, he doesn’t have the honesty or bravery of Trump or Farage… a bar so low that you’d have to do a jules verne esque journey underground to find it.
And this is the man people are pinning their hopes on as being better than the tories? The UK is beyond saving at this point.

I’ve been saying all week and it still pisses me off…
a potential £1m donation is all it takes for Stamrer to reintroduce section 28.
All the lives that will be lost or destroyed, for £1m…
That’s how much he cares about human lives, et alone human rights. He’s a full on f’ing monster.

What I don’t get is how we got to a place where people genuinely thought privatisation of a commodity in which you have no market (ie you’re a captive consumer by one company based on location) could possibly have lead to investment?
Which people thought this? Did they honestly think it? and how HOW was anyone that stupid anywhere near the power to make decisions?

That’s true. I think it speaks to the idea the media push that you cannot have trans rights and womens rights at the same time. An idea that has been investigated and dismissed as nonsense by the UN and other human rights groups.
It’s like they think it’s a coin toss. If you support womens rights you’re automatically anti trans and if you’re anti trans you’re automatically a womens rights advocate. But that is just as nonsensicle as the idea that trans people are taking rights away from others.
As you say it’s lazy, it’s nonsense and it shows, after so long of pushing the same line, a boundless level of wilfull ignorance.

"Rowling has become known as a fierce advocate for the rights of biological women after speaking out against Scottish Government proposals to introduce self identification for transgender people.”
NO… She’s become an advocate for the elimination of trans people. Her stance on “biological women” includes supporting Trump and his fight against woe vs wade and tory baronesses that are anti body autonomy (as well as anti gay marraige and LGBTQ+ things in general).
She isn’t a supporter of womens rights, she financially and emotionally supports people that actively want to remove them. She just wants to wipe out trans people.

Too true!
I also feel that if @npub1pq4…2mle is feeling cynical about it then there’s very little reason to think this is a good thing. After all, if anyone is used to working within the cynical environment of politics for the trans cause it’s her!

Hilarious that Labour have made public moves to bow to her on the day even the tanky commies (that she was courting) have come out and said her views on trans people are abhorrent and don’t represent them…

"It's still having major problems with being a middle-ranking European country.”
Don’t worry we’re well on course to be downgraded from middle ranking very very soon.
