  1. From your own "fact check" link: Claim: Labour’s own analysis said 4,000 pensioners could die if winter fuel payments are cut Verdict: True Also from the same link: "On Sunday, Mr McDonnell was asked if he believed some pensioners “will die” as a result of what Rachel Reeves is proposing, and he told LBC: “Yes. That’s not me speaking.” So what do you think of people like Starmer who knowingly plan to implement a policy that will kill pensioners before their time?
  2. It was a Labour generated review, you can't blame the Tories who didn't implement a policy on this one. Let's try again. What do you think of Starmer knowingly implementing a policy that their own research said would kill 4000 old people before their time? For a comparison, Harold Shipman only managed to kill 284 over a period of 30 years.
  3. Do you ever read the links that you think support your mental gymnastics: "At the time, then-prime minister Theresa May said the payments would be removed from all but the poorest pensioners." It is the same policy but it wasn't implemented, probably due to the knowledge from Labours study telling them that 4000 people would die if they implemented it. The Tories were not callous enough to implement it. So what do you think of Starmer knowingly implementing a policy that their own research said would kill 4000 old people before their time? For a comparison, Harold Shipman only managed to kill 284 over a period of 30 years.
  4. This one is the original Guardian article about it: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/jun/05/tory-winter-fuel-allowance-cuts-puts-4000-lives-at-risk-claims-labour They had the comments open so you can see what your comrades said about the Tories when they were contemplating implementing the exact same policy which is quite amusing. Keir Starmer knows it will kill 4000 people before their time and is going ahead with it. What kind of person does that?
  5. Before Musk disinformation such as ludicrous claims that men can change their sex and become women was allowed to spread freely and anyone who said otherwise was quite literally banned. People are now allowed to state scientific facts to counter this nonsense.
  6. For most leftists anyone slightly to the right of Stalin is a conservative so thats not really a very useful poll is it. Far more useful is facts such as this one: "According to the data, Israel was mentioned as committing war crimes four times more than Hamas (127 versus 30), 14 times more as committing genocide (283 versus 19) and six times more times as violating international law (167 versus 27)" Or this one: "In practice, the report found, Hamas was described as a "proscribed," "designated" or "recognised" terrorist organization just 409 out of 12,459 times (3.2 percent) over the four-month period." Considering that Hamas is the terrorist group and Isreal is a democracy I would say this unequivocally demonstrates that the BBC is in fact biased towards leftist anti-jew agendas. If you can find an equivalent report where they have shown bias towards right wing agendas (not just an opinion from a Marxist) then please share.
  7. The Tories are responsible for funding the NHS with taxes, which is something that actually did to record breaking levels. They were not actually running it. The NHS has a CEO and countless directors, administrators etc all paid way more than the PM of the UK. If the NHS is as bad as Starmer is suggesting why is he not firing the people actually using that money to run the NHS for letting it get that way? Is it because he is too weak or too incompetent?
  8. Oops. Labour carried out research in 2017 that told them that 3850 extra pensioners will die if winter fuel payments were removed. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/winter-fuel-payment-cut-labour-deaths-b2609340.html So Starmer has made this decision with the full knowledge he will be killing 3850 old people before their time. For comparison, Harold Shipman only managed to kill 284.
  9. Of course it is directly comparable, it's just that the undeniable truth is that Labour are better suited to opposition where they can do what they do best (whinge and complain) as they have no clue how to actually deliver on anything. Don't worry, the graphs will equalise as Labour gets it's grubby hands on the NHS and somehow managing to increase its funding and deliver worse outcomes, especially as Starmer is doing his best to ensure the NHS has it's busiest winter since Covid with all the potential hits on the elderly coming up.
  10. I could care less about the middle east in general, but if I was going to support any country there it would be the only one with a functioning democracy. I noticed in London over the weekend there was a massive demonstration in support of Afghanistani women who have had their rights completely stripped away. Oh wait, no it wasn't, it was just another Hamas supporting anti-jew hate march. Literally nobody cares about any suffering in the entire region of the middle east unless it is perceived that the jews can be blamed for it in some way.
  11. I'm old enough to remember when X was Twitter and was owned by censorious leftists. When anyone who was not far left were complaining about being censored all the lefties would cry out: "It's a private company - they can do whatever they want and if you don't like it start your own platform". Then Musk bought a platform and allowed people on the left and the right to share their views. Now the tedious left are complaining. Quelle surprise.
  12. Yeah, I saw the headline, had a mild panic and then realised it: 1) Isn't actually happening 2) Probably won't happen 3) If it does happen it will be impossible to enforce 4) If it does happen and they do manage to find a way to enforce it I'll just leave. I doubt that will be anytime prior to 2040 though so plenty of time to prepare.
  13. It's long overdue for the BBC to live or die on a subscription model. If it is as good as their fanboys say it is then it will do very well for itself. No-one should have to be legally forced to pay to watch their biased propaganda.
  14. Well done. You have pasted a link that confirms the performance of the Labour run (for the last 25 years) NHS in Wales does indeed perform worse than it's English counterpart. Is that what you were aiming for here?
  15. Weird how Labour have been in charge of the NHS in Wales for the last 25 years and it performs worse than the NHS in England.
  16. How are you going to get past the ECHR with this suggestion? It's almost impossible to deport criminals from the UK as even if they get a 12 month sentence which is supposed to come with automatic deportation they typically appeal due to "a right to a family life" which means they cannot be deported. Surely you are not suggesting the UK should leave the ECHR?
  17. Humans have always made scientific progress despite always being on the precipice of destruction. Going into space is the next step to find another planet to colonise to ensure the future of humanity as one day a giant asteroid will slam into earth - it has happened before and it will happen again. When that day comes the humans alive then will be grateful that the world wasn't controlled by selfish humans who only gave thought for the their own generation in the here and now. Sure you don't see the immediate benefits as there aren't any, but thankfully there have always been those with vision who think differently, which is why our lives here today are exponentially better than it was for our ancestors.
  18. Is that what is happening in Brazil? My understanding is that X refused to censor supporters of political opponents so not quite the same as protecting children from harm is it? You did say that you could name a dozen countries that benefitted their citizens by restricting/regulating their speech. Any chance you can name just one of them?
  19. No need for a dozen just one example of country will do as I can only think of examples where government censorship has led to tyranny, such as China, Russia, Nazi-ism, North Korea etc. Just one where it didn't lead to tyranny that you can point to will do. Just one.
  20. Every time a government takes away someones rights there are always those who side with them - I think the term is "useful idiots". I presume if you think that speech needs to be heavily regulated you would be able to come up with at least one example in history where this has worked out well for the citizens of the regimes where this was imposed on them?
  21. Interesting you see Musk as the wrongdoer here. Most who have read anything by Orwell would typically observe that it is the government that is censoring political opinion from its citizens as the (very) problematic entity here.
  22. Yes he was the incompetent fool at the head of the CPS that decided not to prosecute Jimmy Saville. The public sector has a long history of letting the dross get to the top and he would not have succeeded in the private sector where results matter or would have lost his job for such a catastrophic failure. I can't think of anyone amongst the 404 Labour MPs who isn't a talentless clown. You didn't name one so I presume you are struggling with this too?
  23. Maybe you are lucky enough to never have worked with his type before. The world is full of his type and they serve their calling as middle managers. They never create anything new, they never run a business that has to make money to survive, they lack any kind of vision. It's people like him that inspired me to start my own business to prevent myself from ever being in a position to work under the likes of him again. You give him credit for "delivering a massive parliamentary majority" but what did he do to achieve that other than getting less votes than Jeremy Corbyn in 2019? Diane Abbot, Corbyn, even a tub of lard in wearing a Labour rosette would have "delivered" the same results after the Tories failures. If he doesn't last then he will be replaced by another talentless clown so its not really wishful thinking.
  24. Maybe I am being a little presumptuous on his expected performance but I have worked with his type of character before so I doubt I am wrong. He is a manager and not a leader. He is petty minded, spiteful, divisive, thin skinned, a genuine hypocrite and the type to pull up a ladder after he has made use of it to get to the top. If he is still PM in 6 months I'll be surprised. If he is PM this time next year I will be genuinely shocked. Never has a new governments ratings tanked so quickly after taking over from a detested previous government and they haven't even hit people with their punitive tax rises and austerity cuts yet.
