They have looked across the Atlantic and seen that voters really are that stupid as to vote against their own interests for criminals, liars and dismal failures.

What with Starmer being armpits-deep in Palestinian blood and gore, I fear looking bad is not something he worries about overly much.

It's a brave person who will stand up to wealthy, entitled, murderous monsters in these times.

If all of this prevents him buying a new newspaper, shouldn't it also prevent him from owning and operating his current one?

And both parties serve the same corporate/billionaire masters who profit from division and chaos, so there is only the illusion of two parties at the end of the day.

Here in the UK commercial punk was fading fast and these groovy new/retro sounds were coming through with the same anti-racist themes threaded through them, so us young punks were going to the ska/reggae shows and widening our blinkered view to incorporate new anti-establishment ideas.

She was a terrible candidate as her loss to Trump, aso a terrible candidate, clearly shows. She also supports a genocide, never a good look in a leader.

Because ultimately they all work for the same people with the same goal: enriching their sponsors to the tune of billions while they themselves make millions, and they don't want to rock the gravy train they are all riding on.

Hopefully everyone reading this sees it for what it is: there are American politicians actively working towards world dominance. Anyone who disagrees or poses an obstacle to it automatically becomes the enemy. Get in line or get couped.

I worked for a firm where, if I made an error, I could be fired.
Allowing politicians who are on the take from genocidal foreign governments, aside from the national security implications, a bit of wiggle room is an error that will lead us down the dark rood to US style politics.
No excuses, none.

The greedy rich are why we can't have genuinely nice things, as opposed to corporate trinkets and slop that ruins our lives at massive cost to our communities.

You evidently have no idea why the world is currently going to hell in a hand basket, guided there by corrupt politicians who sell out to corporations. They make the laws that we are obliged to follow, yet 'forget' to obey them when it suits them, facing little or no sanctions for doing so..

I feel exactly the same. I've been telling people that this was coming since the late 90s, and dismissed as a doom-monger. The majority of people think this will change after an election, but fail to realise that we have been tacking left and right towards global corporate fascism for decades. :-(

This person will refute any evidence, no matter how clear or independent, I guarantee it. The notion that our government, who are in the pay of Israel, and who have supplied political cover, weapons and intelligence to them, are opposed to Israel's actions is utterly perverse and stinks of shilling.

Clearly opposed by supplying political cover, materiel and intelligence, plus almost certainly boots on the ground?
Go on then, let's hear the mental gymnastics needed to qualify that statement, while remembering that many of our politicians, including the PM, are effectively owned by Israel.

Well, both are wrong and the little transgressions lead to bigger ones when the entitled political class are allowed to get away with them, but no, almost certainly not.

You know exactly what I mean and to deny it is disingenuous in the extreme. The people that invaded were converts with little or no attachment to the land whatsoever. Shall we discuss the ethnicity of very leader of Israel since that invasion, or their intent, clearly stated throughout that period?

Strange how they didn't show up until a bunch of Eastern Europeans began the process of stealing a country from the people who had lived there in relative peace for hundreds of years don't you think?
