    Honey, it’s time for your controlled opposition to take their turn. yes-honey-left

    My personal theory: Keir has been groomed by capital to step in when opposition to the Tories and a clamour for change is at its highest. He will entirely and deliberately blow the chance for change and keep as many Tory policies as he can. Then come the next election, popular support for the Labour Party will have died off and We can resume our thousand years of Tory -> Fascist rule.

    ukkk

    • I’m still convinced he’s an MI5 asset that was activated to contain socialists in the Labour Party: https://www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/2020/04/19/keir-starmers-links-with-an-intelligence-chief-add-to-his-controversies-as-dpp/

      (Which is in agreement with you as MI5 is capital, but nonetheless - call me paranoid, but I do honestly think there was a coordinated intervention against Corbynism by capital, the state and the media).

        hes a member of the trilateral commission, his actions whether or not he’s an intelligence asset would be the same

        there was certainly the collusion against corbyn you talk about but corbyn himself was also quite incompetent. i think even mcdonnell would’ve beaten may in that election (unless he would’ve prompted a larger response)

          Agreed that Jez was incompetent, as much as I carry a soft spot for him. And yeah - I wonder about that situation, where someone more competent was leading. I think the response would have been larger - and potentially to the point where it’d backfire.

          I need to go back and rewatch A Very British Coup….the thought of Prime Minister McDonnell joining the Belt and Road Initiative as a means to improve the economy post-Brexit feels very Harry Perkins party-sicko

            i watch it every year, seeing it for the first time after reading about the coup against wilson was definitely an inflection point in my radicalisation

            cricket symbolises the class war, and to aid identification both sides dress in white
