Keir has been so much worse than I could've imagined. Next time, someone stop me from voting labour.

It's all a bit. This whole island is one big bit.

Now that the UK is deindustrialised and not subject to EU regulation, American capital can freely devour its corpse.

I tried!

I don't blame anyone for voting Labour, especially considering the lack of alternatives, but Starmer's whole pitch since he became leader has been "Don't worry, I am incredibly right wing, and I solemnly swear to the British People that I will be the biggest removed imaginable in every way"

“Don’t worry, I am incredibly right wing, and I solemnly swear to the British People that I will be the biggest removed imaginable in every way”

Brits:

Oh cool. The UK gets its own Biden

[-] Andrzej3K@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago

Genuinely far far worse than Biden. Biden at least pretended to make peace with the party left.

"people" being large capitalists

manhattan The wealth will trickle down.

Tiny little trickles that'll be taxed back to the top again.

I'm determined to deliver growth, create wealth, and put more money people's pockets

UK doubling down on being an international-money-laundering-based economy. santos-paparazzi

Instead of Jezza, Brits have this clown?

Someone boo this man.

I've never heard Sir Keir Starmer speak so I read this is Milo from Trashfuture's impersonation of him. Also Keir is a name I've never seen before as a Usian

[-] ObamaSama@hexbear.net 12 points 6 days ago

Same, I’ve only ever heard the Milo impression so when I finally do hear his real voice I imagine it will seem like an impression

[-] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 11 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

(edited out comment which was basically retelling the same joke you made but agreeing with you that actually yes Milo's voice fits Keir better

[-] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 2 points 5 days ago

he sounds like if a penis had a blocked nose

[-] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 11 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

well if it isn't Mr Bobson Dugnutt himself

[-] anaesidemus@hexbear.net 7 points 6 days ago

He is named after Keir Hardie, a socialist and founder of the Labour party. He of course does not deserve that so he's often called Keith here.

Also Keir is a name I’ve never seen before as a Usian

It's Gaelic name mostly used in Scotland.

The contradictions are becoming more and more pronounced as the remaining hotels on the monopoly board are sucked up. Nobody got no money. It's all gonna break

[-] CommCat@hexbear.net 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I like Corbyn, but godamn he's genuinely too nice of a guy to be able to survive in bourgeois politics. When Corbyn had all the momentum he should've purged this fucker and all his fellow Blairites. Once this fucker took power, he purged Corbyn and a ton of Left Labour.

[-] frauddogg@hexbear.net 10 points 6 days ago

Y'know, I'm not often moved to believing we should bring back crucifixion as an execution tactic.

But goddamn do politicians belong on crosses.

[-] Redfox8@mander.xyz 7 points 5 days ago

I really didn't expect much, if anything, they barely tried to slaughter a self destructing Tory party. Were never going to bother doing anything for the people...

[-] regul@hexbear.net 7 points 5 days ago

The political instincts on display here.

Do they just not know that everyone who's not an investment banker hates Blackrock, or do they just not care? Rhetorical question.

[-] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 5 points 5 days ago

To be fair, your average person probably doesn't know that much about BlackRock. Nor will your average person even clock this headline much when there's the more salacious headline of Netanyahu's arrest, or winter fuel, or the farmers. That's the political instinct. Make the dodgy deal while everyone's focused on your current fuck up.

People clued in enough to focus on this headline probably already hate Starmer's Labour anyway.

Maybe I'm way off on that, though.

[-] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 3 points 5 days ago

No one knows BlackRock, but if it's your first example of an average company, we know your politics
