Starmer’s moral bankruptcy continues – and Israel and the Labour right are playing on it

Israel is a paper tiger. What was it? Three days of Iran going through first gear before Tel Aviv was pleading for a ‘coalition of the willing’ to step in and join in with their targeting of Tehran?

How revolting.

But let’s go back to the playground for a moment.

Benjamin Netanyahu: the playground bully

The feared school bully, a thuggish kid named Benjamin, — known for targeting small and often weak pupils — picked a very public, middle-of-the-playground fight with a kid that was actually capable of defending themselves.

This is where the phrase a “schoolboy error” must come from.

Benjamin, somewhat shocked by the other kids’ resistance, took no more than a few swift-but-decisive uppercuts before screaming for back up from his gang. Donny came rushing to Benjamin’s aid, Keith scratched his head and called for calm, and Manny is still looking under the stairs for his white flag.

Benjamin’s friends were shocked by just how easy it was to land a hefty blow on their leader’s chin, particularly with his reputation for an impenetrable defence.

Benjamin the bully’s reputation as the toughest kid in the school was shattered, made worse by the undeniable fact that he actually started this fight in the first place.

A well-deserved kicking

But what lots of onlookers never realised was while everyone was watching Benjamin get a bit of a well deserved kicking, the rest of his thugs were still picking on the poor, starving and defenceless kids gathered elsewhere.

You see, while global mainstream media had all of us looking towards Tehran and Tel Aviv, genocidal Israel has stepped up its killing spree of the Palestinian people, in Gaza.

Hundreds and hundreds of innocent civilians — suffering from starvation and patiently waiting for food rations for their families — have been callously slaughtered by Israel, in just the last few days.

While the tit-for-tat exchange between Israel and Iran, and the bizarre intervention from the (barely) human cheesy Cheeto in Washington may well have provided something for the world’s media to fixate upon, it also provided a perfect distraction for Benjamin, butcher of Gaza.

Israel will fight tooth and nail to ensure the Middle East is riddled with instability because without it, Israel cannot claim victimhood, and without victimhood, Israel is nothing.

Starmer: callous at home and abroad

Keir the capitulator, a gormlessly loyal servant of Zionist Israel, has had a shocker of a week.

Labour has made no secret of their utter contempt for disabled people. If you think that is a controversial statement, why the hell are you even reading this?

When they’re not snooping through your bank account, stripping away your support, slashing your pitiful benefits, they’re looking for new and imaginative methods to kill off the disabled people of Britain in ways that not even Iain Duncan Smith dared to dream.

I am absolutely sick to death of hearing about “concessions”, “rebels”, and “significant revisions”, because it’s entirely fucking meaningless media speak designed to convince you into believing that we have a functioning democracy where the powerful are held to account by elected representatives.

They’re not. Not under this government, the one before, the one before that, or any government stretching back throughout my lifetime.

There are no “concessions” to be made. A two-tier benefits system for disabled people to match the two-tier policing and the two-tier healthcare provision just doesn’t sit well with me an nor should it with any person with a single shred of moral fibre.

There are very few “rebels” because the “concessions” they have made for weak Keir Starmer will still see millions of disabled people being unfairly punished by a callous and inhumane government, hellbent on satisfying its shadowy string-pullers and appealing to enough knuckle draggers to see them over the line at the next general election.

The Welfare Bill

Labour’s Welfare Bill is set to sully the party’s already-battered public image even further. There are no positive optics when you’re shafting poor, disabled, and vulnerable people in broad daylight.

Labour’s Welfare Bill is a stunning masterclass in miscalculation, self-sabotage and moral failure. The bastards are robbing billions of pounds from disabled people and dressing it up as ‘pragmatic reform’, while claiming that they are magically fixing a broken system.

Can you believe the brass neck of this remorseless, red Tory scum?

Labour’s Welfare Bill is a deliberate choice to target the most vulnerable to plug an apparent budget hole. Nobody really believes it is fiscally responsible to push 400,000 disabled households in the direction of Food Banks, do they?

Before I go and hide somewhere cold for the next few days, can I make a radical suggestion?

And a heatwave, just to finish us off. Thanks, Starmer.

The weather forecast for the next few days will undoubtedly be enjoyable for some people. Personally, I cannot stand it, and I know lots of Fibromyalgia sufferers struggle to keep cool, particularly when they’re stuffed to the eyeballs with anti-depressants like Pregablin.

These extremely rare weather events are no longer rare, but undoubtedly extreme.

If we think it is a good idea to help people to heat their homes during cold weather spells in the winter, why aren’t we talking about warm weather payments for people, young and old, that need additional financial support to help them keep their homes cool during the summer months?

Perhaps a Freedom of Information Act request would tell us how many MPs have public-subsidised air conditioning in their offices, both in Westminster and their constituencies?

I’m sure they, the pampered elite, wouldn’t expect you to work in extreme heat on a building site, or in a kitchen, or a hospital, or a call centre, while they’re sat in their offices with their private bits slowly turning to ice, would they?
