G4Z@feddit.ukto UK Politics@feddit.uk•Jeremy and Zarah's new left party surges towards half a million sign ups1·2 hours agoThat’s just not true, he did he just included all groups and refused to single them out, which is quite right imo.
Yeah, they were terrorists but they didn’t come to exist in a vacuum and our government was also responsible for some decidedly shady shit.
In my estimation the IRA were worse, but this is still one of those emotive topics that can be exploited by the media to paint it to suit their agenda, and as we know their agenda is to protect capital. People always lose their shit about the IRA, and I understand, I’ve been alive long enough to remember the troubles but it does in fact take 2 to tango.

Well done Kid Starver.
It really is, fuck it I signed it.
Wonder how many non parents want this?
Funny how we are never ever considered worth of asking.
Is there any need for this, really?
G4Z@feddit.ukto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Labour MP Steve Reed claims it'd cost "Upwards of £100bn to Nationalise Water". This is a huge lie.English2·6 days agoJust today government borrowing went up just because the growth forecast was a little worse then expected. If the government is suddenly on the hook for tens of billions in water infrastructure investment at the same time they are seen as anti-business and willing to rug-pull private investment, you bet foreign governments will sell their investments in the UK.
We don’t need ‘foreign investment’, it’s nothing but a euphemism for allowing foreigners to own our shit. Doesn’t matter if it’s government debt or houses, it causes inflation and it’s just selling our futures.
Fuck foreign investment, might as well just print it ourselves or just take it from those that already have far too much.
Enough of letting finance spivs dictate how shit goes in my opinion.
If we let them win, we lose, if we fight them they will mess with ‘the market’ and generate as much FUD as they can but it’s the only weapon they have and we need to take it off them, one way or another.

This is a huge lie.English81·7 days agoStep 5, Watch the collapse of virtually all private pensions in the UK as their value drops due to heavy investment in various water companies.
Overstated I would say, pensions are heavily diversified.
Step 6, Watch the gilt markets collapse as the UK government is seen as reckless and anti business as it removes assets from private investors.
If the government continues paying interest on the bonds, why would the markets collapse?

G4Z@feddit.ukto UK Politics@feddit.uk•Minister denies Labour wants Diane Abbott out of party43·9 days agoWell of course they do. She’s too left wing for Keir’s right wing party.
She’s not that left in my view, maybe I just missed it but I’ve never seen her advocating for actual important left wing issues.
So I asked copilot, which issues does diane abbot advocate for, and it’s basically just social justice stuff. Which is important, don’t get me wrong but the biggest social justice issue is wealth inequality and class which she barely talks about.
I don’t see any evidence that she’s advocated for some other system but neo liberal capitalism, just friendlier to women and minorities.
Even then she’s managed to put her foot in it over and over as well as outright racist comments that she’s made.
So to be honest, as a leftie, I hope they keep her and any left wing alternative stays away. She’s nothing but a liability and in all honesty she needs to just retire and fuck off. She’s 71, she’s too old, got no ideas and when you get down to it. she’s racist herself.
Let Labour keep her, please.
I’m in favour of this, however it’s only a fraction of what needs to be done to overhaul our voting system. We need to get rid of FPTP and reform the lords.

Should just be nationalising no questions asked no compensation given.

I know one person who changed his mind within days of the result so it does happen, he felt lied to on the 350mil for the NHS thing.

If they had just admitted it, they probably would have got a suspended sentence.

Yeah, but if there’s one thing Nige knows… it’s which way the wind is blowing.
