Liberal attitudes to race and ethnicity but hidden agendas on redistribution and social mobility...there is a hidden contempt for working people "Yes to more immigration just don't threatened my job and for gods sake don't build any new houses near me.." A lot of it is just signalling by people /writers who are actually quite wealthy.... villas in Tuscany...etc

[@jimcrelm9478]

@@baronburch6702 A government that claims to represent and serve the entire population denies the reality of politics, and plays a very dangerous game in so doing, because the conflict and repression that is central to any economic or governmental system will exist whether it is openly acknowledged or not. Trying to obscure it behind concepts such as the common good, supposedly neutral rules, peace and order, sound economics or any other universal concept does not make that reality go away. In fact, by laying claim to the right to represent the common good of the whole of humanity, a government dehumanises its enemies by default: they must not be part of humanity by that logic. And governments always have enemies because there are always conflicting interests, competing bases of power, and the potential for violent force to be used. Government is a monopoly on violence (or the potential for violence) with which one subpopulation subjugates another subpopulation. And you cannot abolish this defining feature of government. The only thing you can do is to distribute political power as widely as possible among as many sections of the population as possible.

If we allow this to continue, the truth will be as a footnote to these people. Where has Investigative Journalism gone?

Peter Oborn is an absolute legend for this. Absolutely disgraceful that this wasn’t even mentioned in any form by the national media. I won’t vote for Labour in any election going forward.

His political ideology is an image created by party politics. His actual ideology has nothing to do with the right wing of the spectrum. He gives the impression of thinking conservatism is what the party was in his childhood, when that was an anomaly forced by a coalition of communists, socialists and the labour movement that has long since been destroyed by those elite capitalist interests the tories and right wing of the spectrum represent.

This makes me glad i don't live in England (a place i adore) anymore. Not being able to vote Labour takes the choice out of my hands of voting either for a party i supported that has destroyed any humanity it had or for a another party thus possibly helping to usher in a Tory gov't again. The current Labour leadership have knowingly created this situation at the optimal time where Labour voters are pretty much being emotionally blackmailed by the party itself into voting for it in order to stave of another catastrophic Tory gov't. If Labour voters to go elsewhere you can rest assured the party will point the finger at them instead of admitting any wrong doing.

Hasn’t Starmer said he’s glad so many Labour members have left the party since they’re all antisemitic? If he thinks people left the party because of that, why would he expect or want their votes?

I have not a dog in this fight but I will say, I thought him as being slandered, at the time. For for his faults, I never thought of Corban as racist. Indeed, I thought of him as basically an honest man. A point argued, often to the amusement of my friends on all sides of the political compass. What was done to Corban was character assassination. To do such a thing to such a man is despicable and beneath contempt. There are people who should hang their heads on shame.

These Tories being awful but not that well organized and a lot of them,pretty libertarian are not really that into enforcing social control,but I think Labour would be. Why are we not hearing a peep of opposition from them. Why did my MP (labour) not reply to my letter expressing concern at the new laws. I could even imagine that once in power,if we ever have another General Election, I could see labour retiring nice but ineffectual Starmer (or is he?), and putting a Boss in place.
