I’ll be curious to see if he actually tackles immigration in the immediate whilst we fix infrastructure issues in the country.
I doubt it.
There was an article yesterday about how Labour will drop plans to prioritise UK citizens for housing.
Sounded like a terrible time to say or admit that.
I’ve got to be honest, seeing these idiots getting two years within 48hrs of setting fire to a wheelie bin has been quite heartening.
A few months ago the MPs would have still been giving it ‘both sides’ on GB News at this point and have actually done fuck all in response.
“We’ve had 14 years of politicians promising to be dickheads to immigrants and dreaming up incredibly cruel treatment for them. At the end of this, racist attempts at a pogrom happened.
Clearly the best approach is to lean into being a dickhead to ‘others’.”
Christ how depressing.
I’m sure he will.
Just like how people claimed the same about covid, the wasted money during covid, the parties, the stupid spending of budget money on bird baths, the failure of brexit and more.
Let’s be honest he could do everything or do nothing and in a few weeks people will be back to complaining about some other issue or making memes.
I hope they work out a way to punish those that did stupid shit during the riots, but no point handing out sentences we don’t have the room to actually achieve. The prisons are over crowded, half the serious crimes see fuck all sentences. They also need to do something about the media and the way certain celebs and mainstream figures can say and so as they please. No point coming down hard on the actors when the director is free to continue after all.
Unless he’s responsible for decades of certain media outlets blaming everything on immigration or if he is somehow responsible for the previous 14 years where the government strip mines public services.
I don’t see how he could be in any way responsible.
Oh yeah, teach them that going on a racist fuelled rampage will get them what they want.
If you look at the statistics that people love so much, you’d find that immigration is one of the main reasons the country has been performing better than it should have been.
But, let’s blame the immigrants for the country’s problems when it’s clearly not.
Starmer doesn’t have the wherewithal to sort the causes. He’ll just talk about protecting communities, locking people up and blaming amorphous groups of right wing thugs
You can’t cure stupid. Some bigots occasionally see the error of their ways but that comes from self realisation.
