  • Ahh yes I see what you mean, you put it well. Starmer’s government isn’t hated (at least not significantly), but very few people like them - even the Tories generally had a lot of supporters during their various tenures.

    I wonder if the author will realise they could do with revising that somewhat misleading/hyberbolic statement, but at least I now have a better handle on what they mean. Cheers!

    Now, if only I could get a physical subscription to the Morning Star here in South Manchester, none of the newsagents stock it, and delivery from their website is too pricey :-(


  • I agree with most of these points, but this one stood out as nonsense:

    Keir Starmer’s government is now probably the most hated in living memory.

    Besides the fact that the likes of Thatcher’s government is still very much within living memory, even if we just look at just the recent past 20 years… The current Labour government are more hated than our recent Tory government, that we had for years and became so reviled that there was talk it may collapse for good? …Really?

    I don’t buy that at all. Sure, there are plenty of things to be mad at Starmer and the current lot about, I agree, but I see far less hatred for them than I did the likes of Cameron, Theresa May, and Boris Johnson, and their ilk. Faaaaar less.

    Anyway, great read besides that bizarrely inaccurate statement, thanks for sharing :-)








  • So, anybody that’s ever knowingly handled, trafficked or deployed a Weapon of Mass Destruction on US soil is going to be hunted down by anti terror agents, I’m assuming?

    Doctors, nurses, delivery companies, pharmaceuticals manufacturers, etc, yes?

    Not to mention the number of countries in the world and free agents that now have access to huge numbers of WMDs, all of whom now need to be closely monitored and the US must change its relationship with all of them, given the seriousness of what they now possess.

    And obviously, anybody that’s ever publicly deployed a WMD anywhere will have to be detained if they attempt to enter the USA. Can’t have potential terrorists wandering about the country after all, not if they’re on record as committing the unspeakable act of using a Weapon of Mass Destruction on a peaceful public populace.

    This is just a flimsy justification for America’s military invasion of Canada, given their repeated, official accusations from the very highest levels in their government, that Canada is flooding huge amounts of fentanyl into the USA.

    To claim it is a WMD, after claiming Canada is attacking their country with it, and then to not take any military action against Canada to defend against these WMD attacks, would be admitting military defeat.

    Has the USA admitted that Canada has bested them on the field of battle? Are they too scared to meet Canada head on? Sure seems like it.
