“The faces are different, but it’s the same authoritarianism. Keir Starmer’s team might not look or sound like Donald Trump’s, but its policies on protest and dissent are chillingly similar. So is the reason: coordinated global lobbying by the rich and powerful, fronted by rightwing junktanks.”
@aral people denigrated me when I said Starmer was just Liz Truss in a better suit....
Those who were enthusiastic about Starmer - largely because he wasn't officially a Tory - had to overlook his character. His character has been on display for a very long time. He's a deeply nasty man, and we have known this for years.
His supporters have to pretend otherwise and look away. His time as DPP. The profoundly dishonest way he came to power. His lies about anti-semitism. These are matters of character.
Labour is a party of shame and fascism now.
@aral It never matters what uniform the stooge cop is wearing. All exist to remind you that you live in a prison and they are the guards.
Why are people reporting this as though it involved Quakers... their only connection is that they rented out a small room to a group they have no connections with!
