globaldiver Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Starmer is a worse position than Corbyn. Corbyn was little proven, Starmer’s candidate is proven and he backs him. Quote

Meanwhile, demand increases constantly- for reasons we know about. Meanwhile we lose farmland to development, which makes flooding worse and puts pressure on food production. Supermarkets doing their worst. It is vital that the network and treatment facilities are improved rapidly, but 700,000 new folk per year makes it a tail chasing exercise. Not one of the main parties seems willing to shoot the big fuck off elephant in the room. It's wank. Quote

Site Supporter Cheese Posted February 12 Site Supporter Posted February 12 (edited) Massive bonuses being handed out to Water Company Executives, as they continue to pump raw sewage into our rivers and seas and increase your bills, while investing as little as possible in infrastructure. It's all the fault of foreigners though. Not sure what this has got to do with Israel/Palestine, but here we are. Edited February 12 by Cheese Quote

It’s beyond me how someone can rationally claim immigration is the big elephant in the room with regards to raw sewage. It’s bloody obvious that the issue has been the incompetence and mismanagement at the very top of these companies. Alongside a government that has no accountability when it comes to sewage release. That’s all over the UK as well. Of course 700k extra people a year is not sustainable long term and needs addressing. But to blame that on the current water problems is fckn ridiculous and just blind ignorance of the facts. Quote

deeane Koontz Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Labour have kicked folk out for far less in recent times regarding Israel criticism ( not tinfoil theories like this). I take it they're being cynical/selective here? Pongs a bit tbf Quote

I don’t mind an occasional u-turn when public opinion goes strongly against the original directive. It’s a bit like using that public opinion as the litmus test. That said, if folk with a modicum of common sense went for the constituency representative role of being an MP then they’d maybe make the right calls which public opinion wouldn’t be vehemently against.

Rather than stand on their beliefs what ever they may be current labour party strategy is to just not be the Tories. Doesn't take much to say something along the lines of 'we support the ordinary people of Israel and Palestine but the actions of both Hamas and the Israeli Government are unacceptable and need to stop'. We're heading towards our own Biden/Trump dilemma where we end up with what the nation views as the least worst option rather than the best. Quote

Sadly, that's going to be good enough, the Tory Party have fucked things up so much, that Labour don't really need to do anything or be anything, other than not be the Tory Party. Quote

Starmer released a statement saying similar in December but has since given contradictory comments and lead his party in refusing to back calls for a ceasefire. Be it for fear of being seen as anti semitic (which is nonsense) or wanting to not upset Likud (more likely) he won't stand behind his supposed views Quote

He's gone back and forth so many times on this it's no wonder I've no idea what he actually believes. A cynic would think this statement is just in response to the Muslim members of the party getting upset at the previous messages coming out of his party. Quote

A cynic would think this statement is just in response to the Muslim members of the party getting upset at the previous messages coming out of his party. It's very plausible given he takes a great interest in opinion polls and focus groups, but calling for a "sustainable ceasefire" now isn't the same as calling for a ceasefire on, for example, 8th October Quote
