Reform want mass deportations and to sink asylum seekers in the channel. Let me know when Labour advocate for that! 🤦🙄

Reform is already normalised, the tories & media have seen to that!

Labour are resolving the problems, but can’t do it instantly.

I’m sorry if you can dismiss half the country as racists & think that Labour should instead wax lyrical about how wonderful it is.

Did you read Starmer’s speech? Or did you just read the reporting around the use of island of strangers?

Because the intention of the speech is not what you describe. 50% of people are concerned about immigration so Labour are trying to reassure them that it’s under control.

Yes, but I was having a conversation with someone into which you inserted yourself.

It’s always funny to watch cultists try to manage logic.

Bye

You jumped into my conversation dude!

Off you pop, back to whatever far left circlejerk you’re part of.

lazytitan258.bsky.social @lazytitan258.bsky.social · 49m

That’s not what I said. But I guess you need to make up my position to fit in with the narrative you have created that Labour are unrecoverably evil.

I refer you to my list of a few of their policies and ask you to point out why they are Right Wing.

I’m not ethically unmoored at all. I just don’t indulge in outrage & fantasy politics.

Labour are delivering on their manifesto, they haven’t done them all yet because they’ve only been in for a year and inherited a binfire.

You somehow believe the promises of magic beans because Zack promises 🙄

I’d suggest it’s you making things up. Unless you can show me where he said that and where he has disrespected them.

You’re the one claiming that he’s reneged on them, so you pick one we can discuss.

Complicity in genocide

And racist rhetoric, shift to authoritarianism, etc.

Also cuts to sick & poor

Starmer hasn’t created a gap, the slow death of the Tories and the eagerness of the media to platform him has left a gap for Farage.

If you don’t believe Reform are worse than Labour then you’re just deluded.

lazytitan258.bsky.social @lazytitan258.bsky.social · 1h

So someone who ignores the good, focusing solely on bad aspects & mistakes & when that is insufficient you make up stories to hate Labour for.🙄🤦

lazytitan258.bsky.social @lazytitan258.bsky.social · 2h

This flailing is undignified.

You said Starmer said it.

I pointed out he didn’t

You then tried to pretend that’s not what you said.

lazytitan258.bsky.social @lazytitan258.bsky.social · 2h

What?

Are you high?

You’re complaining that labour didn’t proscribe a group when they were in opposition? 🤔

And also that they have proscribed them now that they are?

lazytitan258.bsky.social @lazytitan258.bsky.social · 3h

Nope. Israel are allies and can’t afford to alienate us!

They shared data on hostages, that’s it.

They specifically stopped supplying weapons that could be used in Gaza in September last year.

You are making up connections & scenarios because you’ve decided your position.

lazytitan258.bsky.social @lazytitan258.bsky.social · 3h

Maybe because they weren’t in power then? 🤷

lazytitan258.bsky.social @lazytitan258.bsky.social · 3h

No I’m not. It’s always a sign of the weakness of your position when you have to make up the other person’s position.

lazytitan258.bsky.social @lazytitan258.bsky.social · 3h

No, you’re wrong because you said Starmer said it and used it as evidence that the is RW.

What contracts?

lazytitan258.bsky.social @lazytitan258.bsky.social · 4h

No, your comment was materially incorrect. I’m sorry you can’t admit being wrong.

lazytitan258.bsky.social @lazytitan258.bsky.social · 4h

It could have been and should have been, but wasn’t.

I’m not defending that.

lazytitan258.bsky.social @lazytitan258.bsky.social · 4h

I’m not trying to claim anything.

lazytitan258.bsky.social @lazytitan258.bsky.social · 4h

They have a military air base right next to it, of course they are going to keep an eye on things. The US is much further away you know! Israel doesn’t need to send many flights over, they’re too busy on bombing runs. The bit you’re inventing is that these flights were on behalf of Israel.

lazytitan258.bsky.social @lazytitan258.bsky.social · 4h

You said Starmer said it.

I pointed out that not only was that not what was said, but that Starmer didn’t say it! Ffs 🤦

lazytitan258.bsky.social @lazytitan258.bsky.social · 4h

Read the proscription. I know loads of far left media lied about the reasons, but try to be rational about this.
Is one of their members on trial for non violent GBH?
Were they protesting against all the submarines being used in Gaza?
Is it ok to trap people in what they think is a burning building?
