The Jam Jam

Under threat from the extreme right who wish to ignore the result of the last general election. For most of my life we have had Conservative governments and there has never been a concerted effort to overturn the government or sew dissent on a national level. Yes there was the miners strike but that was a specific event, as was the Poll Tax riot. At no time has the left attempted to seize power. That is what was stated yesterday and supported by MAGA and Musk. Thugs were on the streets attacking the police – with chants of ‘whose side are you on’? Perhaps one of the greatest things about Great Britain (aka UK) is that our police force acts by consent. We have laws that are generally accepted and obeyed by the majority – however there are thugs on the right and left who, having very small amounts of cognitive ability, believe that might is right. This disregard for the law is aided by the wolves in sheeps clothing – Jenrick, Badenoch, Farge, etc. These ppeople are not patriots – they want rule by the state rather than laws, they want all dissent punished – so basically I would have to hand myself in as an enemy of their state!.

Can Musk be prosecuted or banned from Britain – his speech was inflammatory and incorrect. He understands nothing about the UK, and seemed to be advocating violence. If only MAGA activists would keep to their slogan and leave the rest of the world to prosper without them! They fund extremists throughout Europe and the world.

Make Britain Great Again and lock up those convicted of domestic violence, violence against the person, racism, etc. Violence has no place in our society and I hope the police arrest those involved yesterday – right and left.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was wrong – like all murders; but the mindless bollox spouted by Trump and Farage is also wrong – possibly worse. Trump and fellow fanatics have been calling for revenge, farage in the Daily Fucking Mail has responsibility for the murder at the doors of the left. They cannot be so stupid to see that it is their own rhetoric of hate that spawns this violence. The demonstrations against the genocide in Gaza have been generally peaceful whilst those on the right outside Asylum hotels have been tinged with the threat of violence. In these situations we need our political leaders to be calm and dispel the hatred, not trying to whip up more disharmony in our already fractured society. farage is also wrong – the evidence so far (and he does not care about evidence) appears to lay the focus on Kirks anti-trans rhetoric. Whilst his views were appalling and nasty – the individual is entitled to heinious views – the blame also lies with media coverage of extremists comments. people like him should be shunned in the pub and certainly not allowed to spout crap on TV, Press and other media outlets.

So I regret his death but will not mourn the C***!

He should go – but the alternative? Surely not a GE! Is there anyone in the Labour Party who could take over? Possibly Ed.Milliband? With A.Rayner as deputy (Is it too soon to resurrect her?). The Labour Party needs to rediscover its left wing roots – winning regardless is not something it can do (unlike the Conservative Party – and I am not being prejudiced here – the Tory Party’s philosophy does not have the same criteria as Labour).

The population want a vision for the future, Starmer does not offer this. He is not identified as having common ground with most of the public – Labours win at the last election was more of a rejection of the Tories than a vote for him! His obsession with Reform is embarrassing – they will wither if confronted with a vision for the future rather than having the fears they implant in society magnified. Basically stop the small boats and they have nothing but pure racism. France cannot be expected to be of a major help here with its own Government in turmoil – maybe a fast track system of processing those with papers – and returning those without the documents? Whatever – there has to be some humanitarian solutions – 50000 people paying £1000 each?

Back to Labour – Starmer has to go. Too many wrong decisions – he seems to make decisions made on the probability of winning votes rather than any ideology. Remember that Corbyn, who made a number of blunders whilst leader of Labour, got more votes than Starmer (and he was up against the charismatic buffoon Johnson, rather than washed out Sunak). Zac Polanski will cut into Labour votes, especially in cities in the south. Lib Dems will maintain presence via their outstanding local networks in many places. Conservatives may make a come back, although neither Badenoch or Jenrick seem suited to reclaim the middle ground of conservitive supporters.

Labour Party Conference should be interesting? With Angela banished there is no real threat to Starmer other than the articulate Union Leaders!

When it is very bad and could not be worse, Israel manages to sink even lower in the mire! Thy have made the world a less safe place. Trump has shown that he is weaker than Biden (at least Biden did not parade his weaknesses for all to see. By attacking Qatar Israel has set a precedent where attacking peace talks wherever is acceptable. By not expelling the Israeli Ambassador and not refusing entry to Israeli politicians the UK government is complicit in the aggression. Lammy states that the UK Government has “not concluded that Israel is commiting genocide in Gaza”. 50000+ deaths, Israel destroying housing blocks and ordering residents to move, sniper deaths, attacks on aid workers and journalists, genocidal statements from several Israeli Cabinet members – how much more evidence does he need? The UK Government has seen itself as a peace broker at times on a variety of conflicts. Bombing London if peace tallks were held here is acceptable???

So we have an act of aggression against an allie and the trash papers lead with comments about Mandelson and Epstein meeting in 2003. I think the dates are correct? Oh and the Times front page also gives climate deniers a boost. Do we live in an age of factual denial and false news? Zac Polanski is correct when he states that people do not want to hear about climatic armageddon on a daily basis – but we are not ostriches! I do not believe that the public is so thick that it does not understand the facts and scince about climate change. They quite possibly may deny the facts to protect their fragile mind sets, or even to compensate for the their dire economic state, they may hope that denial of the facts will delay the inevitable despite it being fucking obvious! The only thing I would dispute is those who who put a timeline on it. Is there a tipping point, will albedo and the Arctic methane be a trigger? Are humans clever enough to find a solution? (not without recognising the problem!).

Oh and Johnson was a clever liar and cheat! Well who knew!
