Renton 17776 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Quote Bill Gates: the text book example of the danger posed by rich and powerful people utterly devoid of empathy or care for individual human life.

Renton 17776 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I was listening to an interesting analysis last night on far right of the tory party, for Braverman potentially becoming party lead which is her clear aim (I shit you not). Apparently, the way the tory MPs are strcutured, the more loony ones are in the safer seats. So if they were wiped out in the next GE to say 150 seats, this would eliminate more "moderates" than ERG type tories. Braverman would then have a clear path to win a leadership campaign. Bring it on I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26345 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 He came across much more as ‘they’re coming here taking our jobs and working for next to nothing’. It’s clearly a party line because Emily Thornberry parroted the same shite shortly after on BBC Politics Live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not going to defend him here, just devil's advocate in saying if you are going ot have a points based immigration system, these immigrants should not be allowed to undercut the market value of earnings in any sector they're in. How you could enforce this, I have no idea. I guess he thinks if he can beat the tories on the one thing they supposedly have left over Labour, immigration, they're fucked. I don't agree with this approach myself. I would purely focus on cost of living and do you feel better off than 13/14 years ago? Starmer is a huge disappointment to me so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26345 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I'd like someone to ask him how it's gone from being one of his leadership pledges to being a red line. That's quite the journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 It's power at any cost, which tbf is what many of you have asked for. So he's doing exactly what I'd understood Labour had to do. Nothing is sacred but power itself. The direction of travel is very clear now so let's see where we end up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I think that’s fucking bollocks. There’s a world of difference between being his being pragmatically non-committal on Brexit and completely ruling out things like freedom of movement. I think most on here found it depressing Brexit was off the table as a subject before the next election but show me one person on here who wanted him to double down on it to win. The stupid thing is he doesn’t need to fight on that front at all. The economy and cost of living has created the massive lead he has. Even if the boats is being weaponised the government have an appalling record on that and can be got at easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what it looks like to abandon principle and go all in on power, that's all I'm saying. I despair at it, but it's the play that many people called for post-Corbyn.

Literally nobody said abandon all your principles to win power. That sort of polarisation of the debate is sixth form politics though 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
