Farage to stand for parliament

'Slagged off'! 

I said, and I quote: "Starmer criticised Boris for not locking down sooner, not locking down harder, and not locking down for longer".

That is not slagging anyone off, it is stating a fact. It may offend your delicate sensibilities, which alters nothing. It's still a fact.

And I thought I clearly made the point that NZ has got nothing to do with the UK. Let me rephrase, I don't give a flying fuck about NZ. 

I sincerely hope you understand that although to be perfectly honest, I'm not hopeful. 

Fuck me, can't even remember your own posts:

Let me remind you:


Starmer criticised Boris for not locking down sooner, not locking down harder, and not locking down for longer; and thereby would have saved MORE lives.

You wanted Johnson, who lost more lives.

Of course you are not interested in NZ, it shows Johnson was wrong, and by extension Starmer's criticism of Johnson was correct.


All The Best

As an aside, across my various social media I've noticed very little jubilation from the left and I wonder why. They got what they wanted but aside from the usual sourpuss comments about Reform, the response seems very muted.

Perhaps it's dawning on them that Starmer is unlikely to deliver anything different to the Tories. Or perhaps they're waiting for the skeletons that will come out of the closet as soon as the inevitable infighting begins.

Or maybe they're just miserable bastards.

So, as the barman said to the horse: “Why the long face(s)?”

The only way I can explain it is the embedded two-party tribalism of our electoral system.

There are constituencies (the one neighbouring mine for example) that could have a dead-rat with a blue rosette as the Tory candidate, and they would still vote Tory every damn time.
I am sure there are Labour constituencies that might have similar outcomes from a dead-rat with a red rosette; though that is perhaps less likely after New Labour managed to lose the Red-Wall.

I have lambasted here, and at other places, Starmer's Labour for offering nothing tangibly different from the Tories.
However, for most constituencies if they wanted to be sure of ousting the Tories a vote for Labour was the only way to do that.

Labour supporters might be hoping that with such a victory Starmer has enough voting head-room to change course on some of the more obvious Tory-Lite policies Labour has in their manifesto.

All The Best

I have family in NZ most were into alternative health and the only ones that took the vaccine did it to keep jobs and the first opportunity they got they voted out that government.
