Anyone who didn’t vote for Corbyn can just fuck off. Including all the traitors in the Labour Party who helped inflict this utter shit show of a government on us. Starmer is an absolute vermin of a Tory and shat on all the Labour supporters who wanted rid of the Tories just so he could become PM like his chum Blair. Bastards the lot of them.

I could weep at the lack of moral courage being shown by our so called leaders. If sunak has kids then they should be the first over the top.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if the prime minister said we’re going to declare war on homelessness because this will save us money in the long-term? Yes, the best investment he could make would be to support families in decent accommodation in a situation where children could walk out the front door and find other kids to play with rather than getting run over by a car. Less time in their bedroom staring into a screen and they might be able to behave themselves when they get to school. Children need to engage in imaginative, creative play with other children, in the open air, as early as possible. If I had the choice I would reallocate the entire defense budget, sack the town planning profession that exists to look after the interests of those that own the land, and get on with creating houses no taller than two stories.

Anzac day in Australia today, we are remembering Churchill and Kitchener's shemozzle at Gallipoli. It seems the Turks stopped firing when they realized that the evacuation was happening.

The US has similar problems which shows us that this is a global situ and neither liberal nor conservative can cure this alone. Somehow we must rise above this and those of goodwill throughout the world join forces to form a new thing based on what I believe is democracy, not oligarchy, dictators, and above all we must tear down Wall Street-the Babylon of our time.

How do we stop this? Guy Fawkes was born too soon.

And other western nations are doing the same thing.

Our tax dollars are going towards war and killing people, and not supporting our own populations as more become hungry and homeless.

Did anyone vote for this? I didn't.

A few minor name changes and the article is a perfect fit in Canada.

The root cause of our troubles is neither Sunak nor Starmer. It’s not even the corruption and brutality of the ruling class. What must change if we seek improvement is the attitude of the general population who have been duped into thinking that they live in a democracy bc they have a vote. Effective democracy requires strict regulation of politicians: citizen initiated referendum jail time for political lying suppression of lobbying and revolving door jobs parental control of education accounts of politicians subject to FOI etc. In a nutshell: instead of laws to control the population we need laws to control the politicians.

Any way you could send him to Rwanda? In his case, it would be worth the million pound cost just for the entertainment.

War makes them money. Always about the money.

Does focusing on Sunak, while obviously apt and appropriate, not potentially divert the argument away from the fact that he’s a symptom rather than the cause? Much like those ‘liberals’ who claim that the hindrance to a two state solution is Netanyahu rather than a political movement based on creating a settler colonials ethno-state on stolen land?

Germany is on a very similar path. We can only be as vocal as possible and hope for these people to fail miserably with whatever they have planned - and for them to burn in hell ofc.

WHY IN HADES does he seem like he'd fit in EXTREMELY WELL in the Red State United States ? I think I'm reasonably on point here.....

Another crazy thing is that even by the neoliberal logic that Sunak and Starmer claim to adhere to, securing food, shelter and early childcare for all British children, is the best investment Britain can make. - it’s a highly “profitable” action.

The net macroeconomic benefits of doing so, just in the increased human productivity alone, exceeds the costs of providing it. This has been known for a long time. The OECD used to shout it louder until the their communication team were rather obvious instructed to give less attention to such findings and leave them buried in the volumes of work produced by their research economists.

That alone tells you that these people don’t even have any belief in the stuff they stay. They are hateful charlatans pursuing class war. Nothing else. That’s their entire objective in office.

War is profitable. Peace is not. Homelessness is profitable. Housing the homeless is not. Starving children is profitable. Feeding them is not. Capitalism is cruel and barbaric.
