Tory minister's first thought is to ally with the far right!

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/may/14/labour-urges-tory-mps-to-admit-keir-starmer-video-was-doctored

The Tory Minister for Mental Health, Suicide Prevention and Patient Safety, Nadine Dorries and Tory MP's, Lucy Allan and Maria Caulfield have no problem siding with the far-right.

After sharing a video from a far-right Twitter account that falsely claimed Keir Starmer obstructed the prosecution of grooming gang members when he led the CPS all three commented at what the video purported to show, with Dorries calling it “revealing”.

What is "revealing" is that they have no problem in accusing a former DPP of an attempt to obstruct justice in what is one of the most horrific crimes there can be. An organised criminal gang trafficking little girls who were essentially to be sold.

Of course, this is all done without any evidence, any sources cited, just a far-right-wing twitter account shouting anything to stir up racial hatred and division.

It is also "revealing" that the Tory party briefed that they had been "spoken to" by the whips office. How very big of you. Was the calculation, “We benefit twice from this. Firstly, we can remotely tell egregious lies about the leader of the opposition”, whilst also ingratiating themselves further with the far-right and all those lovely votes?

After all, the votes of far-right racist, hate mongers that aren’t interested in a democratic society count just the same as any other votes. So what if their “ideology” leads to, at best, the expulsion of whoever they decide should be expelled from the country to the worst possible outcome of extreme violence to eradicate those they don’t even see as human.

Yes, this is all disgusting but the concern we should all have is that those elected to represent UK citizens, that means all of them, not just the ones that have the "right" colour skin, didn't give it a second thought. There was one thought, this benefits me, my party, my team. Doesn't that sound a bit like this is my in-group and those in the out-group, well I don't care about them, what happens to them or how it happens to them?

We need to do more than just accept siding with the far-right gets a bit of a talking to. We need to insist that these people are not fit to represent anyone. They have shown that themselves.

There you go, Nadine Dorries. Now you actually have something to complain about in twitter. You really will be able to tell people how bad you've got it, no matter which way you turn there's always someone trying to get you. It won't be the victimhood you portray but it will actually be someone calling you out for your appalling behaviour and the beliefs that inform it.

UK Government Cowardly Representative says "people are 'addicted' to the furlough scheme"

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/may/07/we-need-to-build-on-the-furlough-scheme-not-cut-it-to-avoid-mass-unemployment A Return to the 80's for the UK? This article, rightly, makes the point that forcing people back to work during a pandemic when the status of who's been infected, who hasn't and if there is anyone resistant to Covid-19 is unknown. That's before we understand exactly what a second and third wave of this will be like and do to the wider community. ​ However, the line that really chimed with me was the opening one: ​ "A senior government source warned yesterday that people are “addicted” to the furlough scheme. “We have to get people back to work,” he said. ​ If you are outside the UK and younger than I, to be honest, that's probably 90% of those reading this, you may not be familiar with the modern industrial history and why a stupid, crass and clearly ignorant comment like that from the ruling class would "chime...

Being stopped from calling for greater unity and education outside of 'leftist' forums by?.... You may have seen that I have included below a Reddit post that I wrote. If you read the piece you would see that I was essentially making three important points. That people that are not politics nerds or junkies may not believe or understand that there could be an alternative system to that of capitalism That we on the left, that is the whole of the left, from Social Democrats on the right of the left, through Socialists and Communist and all the way to Anarchists on the left of the left*, can make it difficult, inaccessible, esoteric even for those on the outside of politics, and within for that matter, to understand why capitalism is not a divinely bestowed system to live by. That we on the left intersect on fundamental points and issues and need to make our positions ACROSS THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM of the left accessible. *The spectrum shown here is very truncated and a...
