If Labour Wants to Win the Next Election then it needs to Dump Starmer fast COVID-19 Demonstrates why Sir Keir is so useless – He has Nothing to Say Link to full article at end If Labour had elected a Stuffed Dummy as its Leader it could not have done worse than with Starmer. Starmer’s performance during the current crisis has been dire. If people are squeezed together on tubes, rail and work, then there could be a massive increase in deaths. Yet it was left to Jeremy Corbyn, to make these points from the backbenches. What was the response of Starmer? He has called for “clear directions” from the government... When asked by LBC whether he’d support a trade union with safety concerns Sir Keir said that the party would “have to look at it”. How much more pathetic can it get? The answer should have been a simple ‘yes’. ...In 2016 Exercise Cygnus, a dry-run for a pandemic was conducted. According to The Telegraph: There was not enough personal protective equipment (PPE) for the nation’s doctors and nurses. The NHS was about to “fall over” due to a shortage of ventilators and critical care beds. Morgues were set to overflow, and it had become terrifyingly evident that the government’s emergency messaging was not getting traction with the public. Yet what was the response? To bury the Report and to do absolutely nothing. The result is that Britain has the world’s second highest number of deaths. Couple this with the Government’s delayed reaction to the pandemic forcing schools to close of their own accord. Yet what has been Sir Keir’s reaction? Absolutely nothing. He has made no impact. Is it any surprise that the polls are still showing a lead of around 20%? So dire has Starmer been that the main opposition to the government has been from the Tory press, Piers Morgan and even BBC Panorama! Starmer’s ‘forensic’ questioning to Boris Johnson has amounted to a pathetic nothing. You could replace Starmer with a speaking clock and the effect would be the same. ...In the five lost weeks from January 24th, Johnson spent 12 days on holiday in his grace and favour retreat in Chevening. Even Panorama got into the act when it reported that ‘There were no gowns, visors, swabs or body bags in the government’s pandemic stockpile when Covid-19 reached the UK.’ Yet what was Starmer’s reaction? Silence. ...The last Labour Party conference unanimously passed a resolution supporting the self-determination of Kashmir. Following its victory in the Indian general election, on August 5th 2019 Narendra Modi, another of Netanyahu’s good friends, signed a decree abolishing Article 370 of the Constitution, thus stripping Kashmir of its autonomous status. ...In December 2019 Modi passed a law preventing Muslims refugees from applying for citizenship. Modi is a member of the RSS an organisation that Nehru called a Nazi style organisation. It was founded by open admirers of Hitler. Its second chief, Guru Golwalkar, wrote in 1939 that Nazi Germany had manifested “race pride at its highest” by purging itself of the “Semitic races”. Its nationalism included abstaining from Congress’s Quit India movement. Opposition to colonialism was not part of the fascist agenda. Starmer’s justification for changing policy was that ‘ ‘I am committed to working closely with Labour Friends of India to rebuild trust with the community. We must not allow issues of the subcontinent to divide communities here.’ Here you see the same weasel words that have justified Israel’s racism. ‘Jewish’ i.e. Zionist opposition to criticism of Israel’s ethnic cleansing and human rights abuses have been used to negate solidarity with the Palestinians. The same is now true of India as well. All in the name of ‘diversity’ and the poison of identity politics. ...When he was Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi presided over pogroms against Muslims that led to more than 2,000 deaths. Until his election as Prime Minister he was barred from the United States. Narendra Modi, then Chief Minister of Gujarat was accused of initiating and condoning the violence, as were police and government officials who directed the rioters and gave lists of Muslim-owned properties to them. Sir Keir Starmer is a member of the Trilateral Commission, an invitation only club of the international ruling class. Membership include Carl Bildt, Henry Kissinger and Michael Bloomberg. One wonders what it was about Starmer that led to the invitation? Possibly the fact that he was a rich QC, former Director of Public Prosecutions, an avowed Zionist and imperialist. ...the one good thing that Jennie Formby did during her tenure, commissioning a report into the functioning of the Disputes Team has been like a delayed action bomb. Starmer’s first instincts was to go for those who leaked it and ignore what it said. But that has proven impossible. Instead he has appointed a Whitewash Committee to bury it. When Starmer says “I support Zionism without qualification” we should take him at his word and treat him as the racist he so clearly is.
