He’s trying to lead with ID cards, but we know he’s really just upset about Palestine Action. No mention of OSA either.
It’s funny to me that, on both the left and right, Keir Starmer (the most bland and inoffensive politician imo) is painted as this tyrannical dictator.
Especially funny on the right when the solution is to vote in an actual tyrannical dictator.
Editing because the replies are basically the same rebuttal, a wannabe tyrannical dictator does not advertise themselves as that verbatim.
You’re upset that you can’t watch have a wank without verifying your age and will have to have an additional form of ID to the ones you already have but happy to vote in a guy who wants to deport legal citizens.
Yet I’m the hysterical one? Have a day off.
What do the Green Party think about my money and property?
Well shit, I actually agree with him about something.
When both the Left and Right are enraged by Starmer, you have to wonder if he’s actually doing better than we think.
The cheek of him. He supports this authoritarian nonsense.
Britain is heading for anarchy or fascism either way. The UK has been for many years now and increasingly will manifest more obviously as the gerontocratic death cult that it is.
Half the population will be zombies and have all the money and assets.
How do we think this ends? Get out now if you can, sincerely..

One look over the pond should be enough to show Zack what an actual descent into authoritarianism looks like.
Banning people from supporting a few very specific groups in what is otherwise a broad array of groups all doing the same thing is really not it.
Digital ID’s have an active petition of around 3million Brits who do not want it. The government have basically replied “lol, no.”
Our country is ultra-fucked because our system of ‘democracy’ is a fucking sham.
Meanwhile Farage funder and West of England Reform Mayoral candidate Aaron Banks interviewed in the FT this week. Link [https://www.ft.com/content/76a45b1f-1aa6-41b8-8b75-517513a06599](https://www.ft.com/content/76a45b1f-1aa6-41b8-8b75-517513a06599)
Banks said if Reform won power it should introduce a “Big Reform Bill” to roll back current human rights laws as well as legislation underpinning corporate regulation, saying that when it came to regulators he wanted to “get rid of virtually everything
The 59-year-old, who made his fortune in insurance, said a potential Reform government should scrap the Financial Conduct Authority, the City regulator, along with media and internet watchdog Ofcom, the Electoral Commission and the Competition and Markets Authority.
Banks agreed that much of the party’s economic platform was similar to the one put forward by Truss in her infamous “mini” Budget in 2022 that led to a crash in the pound and a sharp rise in borrowing costs.Farage has promised to cut income taxes and “get rid of inheritance tax”, while slashing government spending.
Besides his stance on immigration, I’m liking what I hear from Polanski.

They should probably do a referendum on national ids as long as it’s not expensive
Unfortunately it’s authoritarian towards normal law abiding folk. If they clamped down hard on shoplifting and phone thieves and drug dealers I wouldn’t have a problem. Instead they essentially made imgur illegal.
It will, and will continue, until we change the current political system into one where votes actually count for something.
Democracy is inherently authoritarian, you vote for an agenda presented by a party, if elected they pretty much do whatever they like to a critical point where so many people will be unhappy that they revolt.
Next up is Farage!
Might it be that our authorities are against a rising tide of irrational minds who are being confused by outside influences such as Russia and billionaires who have incredible power?!
Let’s talk about the entire spectrum of challenges the BRITISH people are experiencing.
Starting with recognizing that foreign powers are meddling. Including the US.
The BRITISH people’s first action should be to drown out influences that have an agenda.
It’s a shame they are utterly unelectable from their stance on immigration and defence, they do make sense in some areas.
No mainstream UK party advocates strongly for untouchable civil liberties, a reduction in the scope of the state and strong economic growth. Vote Lab and you get some mild planning reforms but they come with the old school socialists who see the state as the solution to everything. Vote Tory and you get authoritarianism mixed with nimbyism and economic incompetence. Vote Green for no building and riding around on hemp-powered unicycles.
