Centrism: One Of Many Reasons Why Starmer Is So Far Behind

Image
Imagine the scene .  Boris Johnson has just snatched the Queen's handbag, sprayed graffiti all over Phil’s headstone, denounced Diana as a satanic goat, set fire to Great Ormond Street hospital, nuked the Isle of Wight, and announced he will be applying for Britain to rejoin the European Union.  Then a opinion new poll comes out: CON 54% (+8)  LAB 24% (-5)  Or you see a new set of personal approval ratings:  Boris Johnson +34% (+5)  Keir Starmer -10% (-4)  I think you can see the point I am making here.  Boris Johnson could torch your local blue cross, steal every charity box in the land, make horrendous racial slurs towards more than half of the global population *AND* send thousands upon thousands of our loved ones to an early grave through a diabolical lack of accountability and a complete and utter inability to act in the national interest - because they wanted a fucking horse racing festival to go ahead - and still, STILL, he would be a country mile ahead of the hapless leade

Starmageddon: The Greatest Tory Enabler Of Them All

This probably won’t be particularly pretty if you happen to be a supporter of the current leader of the ‘opposition’, Keir Starmer.  This is the first Sunday morning in quite a while where I haven't stood in a field, usually in the pouring rain, cheering on my son and his football team. I think their season officially ends next week, and warmer, drier weather awaits.  Did you know, Mary Shelley was 18 when she wrote the short story which would later become her first novel, Frankenstein?  Perhaps you already know an 18-sided shape is called an octadecagon or an octakaidecagon? Just think how useful that bit of information might be.  The creases on your right hand might seem boring to you, but look carefully and you can see  the number 18 in Arabic: ١٨ . I hope you looked.  So why am I going on about the number 18?  If you didn’t already know, the latest poll landed just yesterday, and it puts Keir Starmer’s Labour Party a massive and deeply humiliating 18 points behind the governmen

Unelectable, Untrustworthy, And Uninspiring: What On Earth Is The Point Of Keir Starmer?

There’s so many things I’d love to talk about today . But here we are again, at least four CLP vote of no confidence in Keir Starmer motions have just been passed in the space of hours, and I’m already talking about Labour, so on we go.  Ten days on from the most impossibly awful night for Keir Starmer, and things don’t seem to be improving for the principle-free messiah of the middle-ground ‘moderates’.  Starmer  is in an unenviable position of weakness. He was sold to you as Mr Electable long before he declared any leadership intentions. He was sold to you as the safe pair of hands that the Labour Party so desperately need after the disastrous 2019 general election. He was sold to you as the respectable former Director of Public Prosecutions who would clear the Labour Party of its ‘racists’ and ‘antisemites’.  Did you keep the receipts?  Electable? You told us Jeremy Corbyn was the problem. Any other leader and Labour would be twenty points ahead. These days I only have to type in th

Gaza Under Attack: How Can You Sleep Under The Shadow Of A Bomb?

I didn’t plan to annoy you all until Sunday. That’s my normal blog day you see.  Blame the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF). Don’t call them the IDF and quit the “most moral army in the world” bullshit. They are USA/UK backed terrorists.  Come at me. I’m not a writer, a hack, an author, I flunked English and Maths, I don’t even know where the spellcheck widget thing is, and my grammar is up there with the very best of your 8-year-old children. If you’ve tuned in to read a remarkable piece of statistical genius from one of Cheltenham Ladies College finest, you may wish to twiddle your knob and tune into Centrist FM, because they will tell you everything that you want to hear and very little of what you need to hear.  Still here? Great. Me? I’m just a human, and I write things how I would say them - based on how I see them. I don’t intentionally search out ridiculously long words, just in case somebody asks me what it means.  But this isn’t about me.  “ Tonight, I put the kids to sleep in
