Starmer has become an oppressive autocrat, trying to label protesters as "terrorists".

I've always been sceptical of the Western "terrorist" label, and this has only convinced me that it's a convenient way of trying to criminalise those who oppose you.

200 or more than 200 footballers have been killed in Gaza.

Not a peep from Salah, or any other footballer that loves an emblem, a protest action, a T-shirt sign, a tattoo.

The captain of the Palestinian team was killed recently.

FIFA organise a ten second of clapping or silence? UEFA that even held silence for the Pope?

Something’s brewing- bigly

Lots of St George’s and Union Jack flags popping up across the country mostly planted by the right wingers and even right wing serving Conservative MPs…

Any attempt by councils to take them down- health and safety grounds- is being met with loud resistance and replanting

Councils now closing down asylum hotels…

Under LABOUR government mind you

…never get my vote again.

Be happy.

I didn't vote Labour in the last GE, because I didn't trust Starmer. Sadly, he's proven even worse than I feared!

I voted Green, because they're the only party which calls it what is - an Israeli genocide of Gaza.

I might vote for the Corbyn-Sultana party. It's good to have a choice. If they're sensible, the two parties will form an electoral pact, so they don't take votes away from each other.

Indeed!
I fear that something has to happen big- and painful - to the common man- for this nonsense to end … I just hope there isn’t a lot of collateral damage- to me included!
