Well travelled woke EU immigrant. Fighting with Labour to fix the Tory mess. If you’re a Corbyn Cult member demanding purity without cost, consequences or compromise save us both the time and block me now.

Please share this. Particularly with the idiots who insist Starmer is “A Genocide Supporter”.

Whenever I post about Gaza / Palestine, it's pretty clear a lot of people don't hear about what the UK government actually say & do - especially when it's on the world stage, like at the UN or other international orgs.

So I thought I'd make a simple thread to post links as things happen.

I hope so.

Sigh.

The Tories passed the legislation about soft drinks.

This isn’t hard.

For the slow of thinking, the Prime Minister, no matter who they are, doesn’t arrest people at protests.

I wonder will he be capable of lending support to Labour without being the leader?

The way Corbyn can’t for literally anyone.

Because if he could, he could have a fantastic influence on the country.

Americans are doing this.

America is lost and I don’t think it can recover.

This is because they had their knuckles wrapped for claiming his son had the contract for digital ID.

Petulance.

It’s only a matter of time before Farage moves to demanding people born here but if “Pakistani heritage” (for example) are asked to leave.

Because he knows his moronic, racist fans will lap it up.

Aye. My own view is Labour isn’t perfect, but it’s leagues better than the alternatives.

Corbyn is a headcase who lives in a parallel universe and the Greens, who’ve been largely taken over by Corbyn Nutters until recently simply have no chance of winning.

I wonder would Zack work in a coalition?

Marlowe_UK @irishdreamer.bsky.social · 2h

Absolutely agreed.

But I absolutely will block every idiot who says “voting for Labour means you hate trans people”.

Marlowe_UK @irishdreamer.bsky.social · 2h

The media are desperate for it to go away

I see them all the time. People saying Labour must be removed because Starmer “won’t just join the EU and fix everything”

It’s absolutely maddening

He’s scared shitless if trans people and hates women in general.

Hence he’s buddies with Trump.

Marlowe_UK @irishdreamer.bsky.social · 3h

Who I also think has been rejected by Women so often that he actually hates all of them.

But yes, a world class, tub thumping, olympic standard thundering cunt.

Marlowe_UK @irishdreamer.bsky.social · 3h

Also people gleefully proclaiming that “Refom will win an election next week!” has lost their grip.

There isn’t an election next week and there is nothing they can do to influence it.

What really pisses me of is Ultra FBPE types demanding a far right govt because Labour can’t reverse Brexit.

He’s a dreadful coward. He panics at any actual questioning from a journalist and resorts to shouting “boring” because he knows he doesn’t have the answers.

Only absolute fuckwits take him seriously

Christ that’s the most depressingly stupid thing I’ve read in ages.

Marlowe_UK @irishdreamer.bsky.social · 4h

It’s called diplomacy.

Marlowe_UK @irishdreamer.bsky.social · 4h

This is *Americans* doing this.

It’s not a foreign power. It’s not violent immigrants.

These people are ALL home born American men (and almost all of them have never left America in their lives) living out their violent racist fantasy.

Marlowe_UK @irishdreamer.bsky.social · 20h

Fixing the relationship is the start.

The UK doesn’t get to decide to join. That’s the EU’s call now.

And anyone “punishing” Labour for dealing with reality rather than pretending you can simply wander into Brussels and announce “we’re back lads. Sorry about the bollox” is only helping Farage.

Marlowe_UK @irishdreamer.bsky.social · 21h

It’s reality.

And if you refuse to vote for a party that IS working to fix the broken EU relationship and put the far right back in, you can only blame yourself for being too stubborn to think about it critically

Marlowe_UK @irishdreamer.bsky.social · 22h

Because far too many people are blaming Labour for “not just joining the EU”, blind to the reality that they quite literally cannot do that, and you’re going to hand power to actual brexiters instead.

It’s maddening that the people most determined to stop you going back in are remain voters.

He can’t apply. That’s political suicide.

The UK did this to itself. You elected, repeatedly, the Tories and voted to leave the EU, and until the UK can show that it’s a grown up country the EU is going to tell it to piss off.

Whist Farage and Tories exist the answer will always be “Christ no”

That you think semantics is your defence demonstrates that you’re both a racist and thick.

If Compo actually gave a fuck about people he wouldn’t have been a brexiter.
