This is a thread from a couple of years ago that I pinned to my profile on another social media platform and I am recreating it here....

@suzannemoore.bsky.social
Is this your headline?
Given that the last MP that was killed, Jo Cox, was murdered by a far right supporter, how do you justify this headline? Or are you just aligning your views with your paymasters?

Finished developing some film today (needed to make up a fresh batch of fixer stock and have been away the last day or so). Found out that the second tank I developed was completely empty 🤪🤪

🙄

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

Yeah, to randomly call for some members of government to be taken to The Hague…very meaningful.

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

Her meaningless post does this…,

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

Read her post
It doesn’t call out the Tories does it?

As I say her post is meaningless and undermines her position. She could have made a far more impactful statement but chose not to

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

Nor were the Nazis are Nuremberg - what’s your point because it does look like Zarah is supporting the Tories….

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

You can’t run public finances on a neo-liberal economy
Sorting that out will go a long way to sorting out the public finances sadly they don’t want to tax billionaires or limit CEO pay tax x times lowest pay worker
My taxes shouldn’t be used to subsidise a companies dividend payments via tax credits

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

I don’t think there are any easy solutions and real change takes time. But not wanting to implement a wealth tax is a massive failure of the government

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

But why isn’t Zarah calling for the Tories to be prosecuted?

And my whole point is that Zarah’s post is without context and is therefore meaningless - you’ve taken more than one meaning from it.

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

I thought we’d established that Zarah’s post was about Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
That the Tories aren’t to be prosecuted.

By the was Rishi Sunak was PM at the end of the Tory government….

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

But no prosecution for the Tories who are also complicit….

No not gazza - stupid autocorrect I mean Gaza

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

But not Gazza

And not any Tories…you can really see who she and you support can’t you?

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

But just one…

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

So that is what Zarah is posting about? Good to have sorted that one out.
Shame she didn’t call out the Tory PMs and Foreign Secretaries who were in place before Starmer and Lammy

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

No more complicit than Starmer’s support for Saudi Arabia
But we’re not calling for Starmer being sent to The Hague for that. At least that’s not what the post was about or was it? We don’t know there’s no context to the post this discussion is about.

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

Why? Blair apologised for the British State’s complicity in the Irish Potato Famine….

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

context....

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

So we’re taking about the numerous massacres of the civilian population in India before independence and nothing else?

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

But she’s not calling for Starmer or Lammy being taken to The Hague for them.
So her out of context random statement is meaningless

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

Support of the Saudi Regime and its continued war in Yemen

But if they aren’t guilty of war crimes for that they’re not guilty of war crimes in Israel

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

They’re still posting to the UK😁😁😁

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 26

So why not the weapons manufacturers? The ministers who authorise weapon exports? The civil servants involved?

It’s a random statement with no context, context can be inferred (and people will infer the wrong context) but why is she not providing context?

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 25

Because it is not part of any thread or has a follow up explaining why…..

Nick Webb @limiteddof.bsky.social · Aug 25

Why?
Because you are undermining what little credibility you and Corbyn may have had by making random statements that can’t be backed up…
