A second Keir, and just as genocidal

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wanted to say the same. From the frying pan into the fire. Labour will get wrecked in the next elections.

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 22 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Only for the similarly Israel funded Reform to win, because while we keep fighting on whether the next candidate is anti-Israel enough, Reform manages to unite the dumbfucks of the country.

And if Brexit has proven anything it's that the damn country has way too many dumbfucks who'll gladly throw away everything just so a guy who blames the "right" people for the country's troubles gets to be PM.

i mean, people could try voting Green, no ? fascist or fascist lite it is ffs

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 11 points 1 week ago

I agree. Labours weakness in recognizing that a more leftist oriented stance is needed will be a windfall for the Reform Nazis.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So why you are giving reform and easy win? Labour is to blame of reform wins

[–] DeckPacker@piefed.social 1 points 6 days ago

Cause they don't care about winning. They just want to uphold the interest of capital.

Sure, and 9/11 was just a navigation error.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

More like a navigation success, amirite?

Israel is doing exactly what it was made to do, why would the USA and UK betray their own creation? Especially since it's working.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's the greatest and most successful White Supremacist Nation of the present day, so of course it elicits warm fatherly feelings at least amongst the British Elites (who, by the way, before Hitler invaded Poland actually liked the NAZIs)

What a disgusting excuse for a human being.

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

The UK were instrumental in giving birth to this settler-colony by issuing the Balfour declaration in 1917, taking Palestine over after World War 1, arresting and executing Palestinian nationalists during the Arab uprising in 1936, and training the ~~Irgun and~~ Hagana Jewish terror gangs and then promptly high tailing it out of there when the going got rough. So its no surprise that British politicians are hand in glove supporting this current genocide.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Not that the 1917 Balfour declaration was well written or overly centered on justice-- "The Balfour Declaration" was merely a very short letter from a British foreign secretary Balfour to Lord Rothschild to sway Jews broadly for their support during WW1, when Jewish people globally were leaning heavily toward the German cause. It was not an official promise or policy document or government statement-- but zionists pretended it was more of an eternal policy declaration than it was. Israel immediately violated what protections the Balfour letter vaguely imagined.

Balfour specified that "nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine".

Zionists immediately launched into violating civil and religious rights in minute #1 of the Israeli state's existence and they've never stopped for a single second since. There has never been an Israel there that wasnt based on hatred, racism, and vicious oppression that massively violates civil and religious rights.

You also said the UK trained Irgun. I think you are mistaken. Irgun was primarily trained by instructors from the Polish Armed Forces in 1938 and 1939, with supplementary instruction received at the Military Engineers School in Fascist Italy. The training was facilitated through partnerships forged by Vladimir Jabotinsky’s Revisionist Zionist movement. Training Irgun was a nazi project. Irgun then became the IDF. Heres an interesting read on that: https://fpif.org/running-war/

Irgun was attacking the Brits with terrorism attacks right before Israel was formed. Heres a timeline of those many attacks against the British.

I'd argue that Israel was as much or more a nazi creation as it was the UK.

Person wanting to be prime minister says least surprising (or doesn't) thing ever. What did people expect?

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago (2 children)

People were hoping he’d call a spade a spade I guess

[–] bedwyr@piefed.ca 9 points 1 week ago

Not a chance here, he is an establishment tool. It's good to get rid of Keir but this guy is going to be just as bad.

People expected a leader who had some interest in what his constituents want instead of what monied genocidal foreign power demands.

"Big thing too big, politicians only think small, not big. Me not want to say what I really think".. neither do I Andy, because you'd have me kicked out of the country just like your predecessor. Same shit different asshole.

I guess the pile of dead children is probably too big for him to acknowledge now. Where do you find such morally empty sad disgusting bitch ass fucking losers?

[–] quarkquasar@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fine, call it a "shadow" genocide, package it with the Epstein files, and let's get the ball rolling on ridding the world leadership of pedophiles!

Or, I'm guessing, we won't.

I'm somewhat suspicious of the way the Guardian didn't actually publish the interview itself, but just their journalist's writeup of it. We're not told what the question he answered actually was, just what it was "about", and then the headline writers of the outlets quoting that quote take it a step further into implying that he's a full-on genocide denier.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yup. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/jun/04/i-wouldnt-flinch-burnham-on-social-care-markets-brexit-and-the-prospect-of-a-general-election

As usual, the far right Nazi sympathisers (in this case Nigel Farage) get a free pass for "leftist" single issue voters, just like Trump did and continues to do.

Britain: the more things are made to look like they're changing, the more they stay the same.

I know, right? I voted green anyway, but I'm really disappointed in Labour. Fuckin spineless centrist capitalist cunts.

[–] Scotty@scribe.disroot.org 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Amazing. They should have also asked him whether he can judge Russia’s war against Ukraine, China’s genocidal atrocities against Uyghurs, Tibetans, Mongolians and other minorities. And the war in Sudan. What does he say?
