Keir Starmer at it again..

[Paul]

In that particular case they'd spent 4-5 years going through the proper channels and got nowhere. Sometimes civil disobedience is necessary.

Are you sanctioning breaking the law ?

 

[Tredman]

Unless TP is part of the judiciary or government (or the Queen I guess) he can't sanction anything

 

[BillyDee]

I believe it is now called "following your instincts"...

 

[Templeton Peck]

Are you sanctioning breaking the law ?

When necessary, yes. It's not a black or white thing. Legality is a question of power not morality.

 

[Paul]

Yes but who's version of morality is correct, I'd imagine the Klu Klux Klan thought they were on a morale crusade; and who deems what is necessary, you, me, the majority ?

 

[Templeton Peck]

That's the tricky thing with civil disobedience and why it's controversial. History is full of examples of it having a positive impact on society which is why I'd never condemn it outright.

 

[Paul]

Agreed, I've never fathomed out who decides who is a terrorist and who is a glorious freedom fighter either

 

[Templeton Peck]

"It's no secret that I voted for Remain. But we have left the EU. The Leave-Remain divide is over. It is gone." Starmer yesterday. Correct approach in my view.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Sadly you are right. Leaving is going to happen. The important thing is being in the right place to pick up the pieces when the economy inevitably tanks.

Binned Rebecca Long-Bailey

 

[lemonjelly]

swift action!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Decisive action. Good to see.

Compare and contrast with Boris hiding under a pile of coats hoping the Jenrick situation goes away...

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

PS - this proves my 20 year old theory, people who go to Manchester Met are thick and you should never trust them

 

[Tony Towner]

The comment re Israel may or may not be accurate, is it anti-semitic though?

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's just a no-go area with recent history in the party. She can fuck off with that shit about people who didn't vote Corbyn too, don't tell me what I think or cast aspersions on my political stance. I had many many reasons for not backing him.

 

[Tony Towner]

Then you get the left wing backlash

Also compare to Boris's lack of action to the three Tories who shared that doctored "interview" by SKS

So this is what a competent leader looks like then

 

[Derby Wolf]

America's systemic racism isn't, never was or, never will be complemented by Israeli special forces, they're doing a fine job of it all by themselves with their gross over-funding and bowing to police unions.

There is no symbiosis between the two, Long-Bailey must have surely known that but shared it anyway.

Saying that American police learned to kneel on the throats of black people because they were told to by the Israelis? Yeah, just a touch.

It's anti Zionist, not anti-semitic. Dislike of Israel is not necessarily the dislike of Jewish people,although often it amounts to the same thing.
