Is the harsh criticisms of Sir Keir Starmer fair and justified

The criticism has been way too soft IMO.

 

Too many failures to list and it's only been 6 months. 

 

I suspect he has AntiSocial Personality Disorder. He displays all the signs of a sociopath. 

Anti-social personality disorder - good one. Can a forum have it, or just people?

 I was replying to this "where the police basically walked away" etc, and then you sent a link?

 

Yeah.  The link says the police ran away.

Nothing unusual; just politics.  Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi got much the same.  Keir will survive.

Boris was able to go out and meet the public on his bike rides and walk about during hid PMship, Starmer cannot do that after just 6 months, saw I TikTok yesterday, he had a very aggressive crowd booing and heckling him, he looked terrified and shocked

 

Starmer can not go out in general public now, probably why he keeps doing trips abroad

Yes Keir is so afraid of offending anyone he will let rapists and terrorists have free reign.

I news .."reported that police were 'outnumbered' and 'ran away' from the riot and disorder." 

The key word here is 'outnumbered' so your original claim didn't have context.

The police didn't have the numbers at the time, so backed off.

 

Also, your original claim suggested that the Southport rioters were dealt with harder than the example used in your link.  The truth is that people were jailed on both sides, which you didn't mention.

Reeves' Marxist leanings? You read Marx right

A Marxist is a person who follows the beliefs of Marx.

They ran off and left them to it.  They just left them to riot.  This rarely happens.  Possibly never.

 

They could have gone back in greater numbers, but they clearly decided to leave them to it.

 

In the non-immigrant riots, they did not run off and leave them to it.

 

They were clearly treated in different ways.

That wasn't my question.

 

And how is Reeves a Marxist - example?

Starmer is safe. The UK seems a placid country to me. The English in particular exported all their adventurers and dissidents to America. They sent the people violent enough to defend their interests to Australia. And they sent their most entrepreneurial risk takers to India.

Could be so, except that you're a couple of hundred years behind on this one.

You know you are supposed to provide links when you make claims.

Yours are nonsense and completely false. So please provide your sources, this will be quite amusing. Links please.

Nonsense or truth; doesn't matter when you're happy being ignorant.

As expected you have nothing to back up your claims.

I think you've got me mixed up with the poster. I was actually agreeing with you 😄

Ah, sorry, you're right. I assumed you were the poster, my mistake.

So, if there's a 'Two Tier' thing, whose fault is it?

Her, and Starmer's, attendance at communist seminars in Europe over many years.

Starmer and Reeves commies?  They're not even socialists!  Labour is just the Tories-lite, just like Blair/Brown.  Now if Corbyn had been elected we might have seen a left- agenda.

Point me to a 'commie' policy labour (Starmer and Reeves) have put forward?
